Is stubborn Achilles pain keeping you from running the way you want to? In this powerful episode, we sit down with a former professional runner and CEO of Running for Real, Tina Muir who shares her personal journey through insertional Achilles tendinopathy — from the frustration of chronic pain to the difficult decision to undergo surgery, and ultimately, her triumphant return to running.

You’ll hear what it really takes to recover both physically and mentally, how she navigated setbacks, and what made the biggest difference in finally running pain-free. 

Whether you’re managing heel pain now, considering surgery, or want to avoid it altogether, this conversation is filled with real talk, hard-earned wisdom, and hope.
