Join host Nick Meraz, an amateur ultra marathon runner obsessed with pushing limits, and his skeptical co-host Jarett Horton, who can’t quite grasp why anyone would run for fun. Together, they bring a fresh, funny, and unfiltered take on the world of running. From wild race stories and training mishaps to interviews with what Jarett calls "nuts people"—those who run for fun, competition, and every other wild reason—they dive into the highs, lows, and everything in between of the running community. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just here for the laughs, this podcast is your backstage pass to the craziness of running culture.Copyright Nick meraz Fitness, Diät & Ernährung Gymnastik & Fitness Hygiene & gesundes Leben Laufen & Joggen Seelische & Geistige Gesundheit

  • 100 Miles, No Race, No Medal w/Nathan Kornely & Stay Weird

    100 Miles, No Race, No Medal w/Nathan Kornely & Stay Weird
    Sep 18 2026
    What makes someone decide to run 100 miles when there’s no race, no medal, and no official finish line waiting for them?

    At just 22 years old, Nathan Kornely has already gone from college quarterback to endurance athlete, founder of Stay Weird, and someone willing to find out exactly how far he can push himself.

    Nathan didn’t grow up loving running. In fact, for most of his life, running was punishment. That started to change when he earned a spot in BPN’s Survive the Night 50-miler and committed to seeing what he was capable of.

    Then he went bigger.

    Nathan created his own 100-mile route from San Diego to Anaheim Hills and covered it in roughly 22 hours, using the challenge to raise money and awareness for Alzheimer’s.

    In this episode, we talk about where the idea for 100 miles came from, the transition from football to endurance sports, what happens mentally when you’re running through the night without the structure of an organized race, and why Nathan believes consistency matters more than waiting around for motivation.

    We also get into the meaning behind Stay Weird, growing up as the overweight kid and now becoming an example for others, balancing ambitious goals with friendships and relationships, and why choosing something difficult can completely change the way you see yourself.

    This isn’t just a conversation about running 100 miles.It’s about choosing the hard thing, showing up consistently, and being willing to do something that might look a little weird to everyone else.

    Stay Weird.

  • Miles for Mental Health- The Story of Ger Dixon

    Miles for Mental Health- The Story of Ger Dixon
    Aug 28 2026
    Ger Dixon’s story isn’t really about running 421 miles. It’s about choosing to stay.

    After reaching a point in his life where he attempted to take his own life, Ger made a decision to change. Since then, he’s become an outspoken mental health advocate, using endurance and his own story to start conversations that too many people are still afraid to have.

    Ger went on to run more than 400 miles from Los Angeles to San Francisco to raise awareness for mental health. Now, he’s preparing for his next challenge: cycling roughly 500 miles from San Francisco back to Los Angeles.

    In this episode, we talk about the darkness that brought Ger to his lowest point, what helped him find his way forward, the role endurance has played in his life, what running hundreds of miles taught him, and why he continues to tell his story. Because sometimes the biggest accomplishment isn’t how far you can go. It’s deciding to keep going.

    For the Flock. Run Scared.

  • Places To Run-Route 66 Ultra Run

    Places To Run-Route 66 Ultra Run
    Aug 21 2026
    Places to Run — Episode 1: Route 66 UltraRun
    This one is a little different.
    Places to Run started as an idea for a video series: travel somewhere worth running, learn the history, meet the people who make it special, find the food you have to try, and tell the story of that place through running.

    I can’t make the full video version yet, so I decided not to wait.

    This is the audio documentary version.

    For Episode 1, we head to Seligman, Arizona, the starting point of the Route 66 UltraRun and one of the most important towns in the history of Historic Route 66.

    We talk about the race, what it takes to cover 140 miles of Route 66, the people and history behind Seligman, what runners should expect out there, and some of the places you absolutely need to eat along the way.

    You’ll also hear from people who know this road and this race firsthand.

    My hope is that this becomes a recurring series — a reason to go find cool places to run, interesting people to meet, and good food to eat afterward.
    For now, this is where it starts.
    Places to Run: Route 66.

    Run Scared.
