    Running Buddies featuring Michael Darazi - The story continued...

    When we first met Mike, we found out that he had a dream to compete for Team Lebanon at the Cross Country World Championships. After some challenges and missed opportunities, we got word that Mike had moved closer to his dream. So, we caught up with him to go for a run and learn what exactly has been happening over the last couple months. On today's show Mike shares his journey of qualifying for and competing with the Lebanese national team at the World Cross Country Championships. He recounts the intense physical and mental preparation required to earn his spot, including a pivotal 10K qualifying race where he significantly improved his personal best. Despite facing challenges like illness and travel fatigue, he describes the profound experience of racing against elite global athletes on a grueling course in Tallahassee, Florida. While his performance was hampered by heat and obstacles, he emphasizes that the personal growth and the honour of representing Lebanon outweighed the final race time. We finished off by discussing how this experience will influence his coaching philosophy and his future goals in marathon running Follow Mike on Instagram @thedarazi Find the full transcript here Support the show Subscribe to Running Scared Media wherever you get your podcasts for more episodes!

    Sole Sisters - NYE Resolutions & The McCarrathon

    It's 2026 and the sisters are back! Today, hosts Justine and Kylie interview Camille Malmquist, the captain of the Mikkeller Running Club (MRC) Reno, to discuss the intersection of fitness, community, and New Year’s resolutions. Camille recounts her journey from a casual runner in Paris to establishing a local chapter in Nevada, emphasizing how the club’s socially-oriented "no drop" philosophy fosters inclusivity for all skill levels. The conversation highlights the McCarathon, an unofficial "underground" marathon around Reno’s McCarran Boulevard, which began as a personal training run and evolved into a major annual group event. Beyond race logistics, the speakers explore motivational strategies, such as using phone screen time statistics to set weekly mileage goals and the importance of high-quality gear like moisture-wicking socks. They finish it off with personal reflections on safety, including encounters with wildlife and the psychological benefits of group support during ultra-marathons.

    Blood at Night - Full Jogcast

    Looking for a way to revitalize their workout, friends Rob and Jamie join the Night Flyers, an organized trail-running club that meets at dusk in the Victoria L and Dwire path system. The excitement of the night run quickly shifts to horror when Jamie discovers massive amounts of blood in the woods and realizes that regular members of the group have a habit of disappearing. The duo soon discovers that the club is actually a vampire coven led by the mysterious Antoine and Claus, who use the runs as "night hunts" to harvest human prey. As they are hunted through a vast network of underground tunnels, they encounter a long-imprisoned vampire who reveals a family history of blood pacts and a secret weapon. This thrilling mystery provides the ultimate motivation to run, as the two must find their fastest gear to outmaneuver a pack of monsters that includes the city's own Mayor and Police Commissioner. Armed with the knowledge of a vampire’s counting compulsion and a cursed silver blade, they must fight their way through the dark to avoid becoming the coven's next "Late Night Bite" Full transcript here Support the show Subscribe to Running Scared Media wherever you get your podcasts for more episodes!

    Running Buddies featuring John Kelly

    Today we catch up with data scientist and ultra runner John Kelly. We discuss his background, his analytical approach to endurance sports, and his experiences competing in iconic races like the Barkley Marathons. He explains how his professional background in data science allows him to break down complex logistical challenges into manageable components, providing a critical mental edge during grueling multi-day events.  John also reflects on his time living in the United Kingdom, where he embraced the community-driven culture of running and honed his skills on technical terrain. He also shares his perspective on the future of the sport, suggesting that while technology and AI will assist in training, the core of ultra-running will always be driven by personal passion and adventure. Heck, we even talk about baseball!
