S1 Ep 158The Running Mullet Episode 158: The Dam Race That Started It All

This week, we’re hitting the trails with Steph Leer, who boasts 25 years of running… TWENTY. FIVE. YEARS. That’s not a hobby. That’s a personality trait. That’s a lifestyle. That’s a condition. Steph has been out there running trails since before some of you owned your first pair of running shoes — and somehow she’s still choosing to get out there. But wait, it gets better— 💍 She married Carl… from run club.

S1 Ep 157The Running Mullet Episode #157: The Injury Episode

Runners are many things, but surprisingly, runners are not good at… not running. This week on The Running Mullet – Episode 157, we tackle the nightmare scenario every runner eventually faces: Injury. How do you stay sane when you can’t run? Do you: • Crew races like an over-caffeinated pit crew?• Volunteer at aid stations and eat half the snacks? • Buy more running shoes “for when you’re healthy again”?• Develop extremely strong opinions about foam rollers? Or… do you spiral into other questionable hobbies? This week, we’re talking how runners survive the downtime, the weird things we do when we can’t train, and the strategies that actually help. Tune in Monday, March 16th at 7:30pm (EST) to adopt new (and probably unwise) coping strategies when you’re down for the count.

S1 Ep 156The Running Mullet Episode #156: Ruck Around and Find Out

You know that moment when you set a goal… …and then accidentally obliterate it? That’s basically what happened when Gina Ruck showed up to Conquer the Wall with a simple plan: Run 100 miles. Instead, she ran 106. A big goal. A journey of training, planning, lifting, and grinding toward one culminating moment. On this episode, Gina joins Grayce and Eric to talk about: 🏃‍♀️ The two-year buildup to this race🧠 What it takes mentally to keep stacking miles for 47 hours💪 How strength training became a secret weapon🔥 And the moment she realized the 100-mile goal wasn’t the finish line Grayce was out there crushing miles too, along with a whole bunch of Pennsylvania runners/friends of the show who also took on the Wall. Sometimes ultrarunning isn’t just about the miles you plan… …it’s about the ones you refuse to stop running. Listen in: Episode 156 drops tonight at 7:30pm (EST) or wherever you get your podcasts after the show.

We explore: • unsettling truths about Eric’s speed • the science of raising elite mini-runners • questionable life philosophies • idiots running • husband energy at championship levels • an origin story no one was ready for • Eric (obviously) Is he fueled by carbs?
