    Running Buddies featuring Damian Hall

    On todays show we are thrilled to be joining ultra runner and activist Damian Hall as he runs in the soggy English countryside. We recount how Hall's previous career as a published journalist directly influenced his ultrarunning approach, and accelerated his training and racing by requiring compelling narrative "jeopardy" for assignments. We then dive into to Hall's activist pursuits, addressing his work with organizations like The Green Runners and Into Ultra, which promote sustainability and inclusion in the sport. Hall details Into Ultra works to counteract the financial barriers that often prevent individuals from underrepresented groups from accessing competitive trail running, advocating for greater equity and diversity.  I finish by asking Hall about the increasing professionalization of races, particularly how major events align with high-carbon sponsors, leading to ethical issues like sport washing. And to top it all off we even get a "Running Scared" story at the end of the conversation.  Play the Running Scared Moment Choose Your Own Adventure Game Follow Damian on Instagram @ultra_damo Follow The Green Runners on Instagram @the.green.runners Follow Into Ultra on Instagram @intoultra The Green Runners website: thegreenrunners.com Support the show Subscribe to Running Scared Media wherever you get your podcasts for more episodes!

    Rucking Around - Interview w/Chris Vick (Squatch Survival Gear)

    On todays episode of Rucking Around, host Ari Fleman chats with guest Chris Vick, owner of Squatch Survival Gear. Chris, a former airborne infantry soldier, explains that his business was born out of modifying his uncomfortable military Alice pack and later using rucking to manage PTSD and chronic injuries following his service.  The company's core mission is to overcome existing industry flaws by prioritizing comfort and endurance in pack design, recognizing that proper fit is crucial for both physical and mental resilience during long events. Chris emphasizes that packs intended for carrying significant weight must incorporate a true pack frame and be ergonomically designed to distribute the load across the body’s power zone rather than relying solely on connective tissues. They also cover market trends, noting the importance of considering biometric differences when designing gear, leading to new products like a specialized chest strap for women. they wrap it up by offering general advice for new ruckers regarding how to safely adjust the variables of weight, speed, and distance in their training.
