Nice to meet you!
Hello, my friend! My name is Tina Muir, and while I am the founder of Running For Real and a former professional runner, I may be best known as "the girl who didn't have a period for nine years."
My story went viral in 2017, as I was the first athlete to publicly draw attention to not having a period. While I now know that amenorrhea is just one part of RED-S, helping people recover and get their lives back is a forever passion of mine, which is why we created this resource. I KNOW how hard it is, and this is what I wish I had during those nine years.
Take my hand, let's go
