A lighthearted conversation by runners about their lives as runners and the issues that are interesting or important to them and guests of the show. TJM is meant to be a companion to you as you run. Think of us as your running partners on days when you just need some friends to get you out on an easy run. The show is composed of 10 segments, one for each mile, and every 10 minutes or so we move on to the next topic, to keep things interesting. Among the hosts' experience are ten 100-mile finishes, dozens of half and full marathons, plenty of 50-milers, and some speedy 5ks and a BQ (and a handful of DNFs).
Your host, Scotty Kummer is an attorney, doberman owner and quite possibly the most painstakingly average runner known to man. Scott has stumbled through numerous plus 4 and 5 hour marathons. He's DNF'ed the 150 mile, 100 mile, 50 mile and marathon distance. Okay, and he is a member of the Order of the Hrimthurs for having completed the Arrowhead 135, the Tuscobia 160 and the Actif Epica 120K in the same calendar year (more people have walked on the moon) as well as finshed 50+ ultramarathons including several 100 mile races. He was once kicked out of an ultra runing group due to allegations of cyber-bullying. He has a habit of offending people by accident while trying to help them. He is a co-founder of the Flatlander Ultrarunners in Chicagoland which has rapidly grown to over 2000 members. He came up with the idea for Ten Junk Miles after becoming frustrated with hearing interview after interview of Scott Jurek and deciding that runners needed more: more discussions of bathroom breaks that went wrong, pacer stories from hell, DNF reports, stories of getting lost on the trail and other related matters.

Customer Reviews
Long time listener first time reviewer.
Great running podcast, Scott Kummer is one of the best hosts/interviewer.
Great for company on the trail or even in your car!!
Love the long runs the most but also listen to all the other formats,
Not even a super fan but the least you can do is a review. It takes 30 seconds
Badgered to do this!!
Cliff Pushers
If you think “one day I’ll run.....” this group will push you off that cliff. An awesome and inspiring group of friends, that will make you feel like part of the group. Great to take along on your runs as long as you’re happy to stop from time to time and keel over laughing.
Long runs can get deep, but Scott is a great interviewer and never lets it get away on him.
Overall a great podcast, recommended to all runners, especially those aspiring to run ultras.
Great show
Not a running podcast in the traditional sense of running podcasts and all the better for it. Talks about all things running and life, and focuses on what it is like to be an average person running long distances.
