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 Actividad Física, Dietas y Nutrición Ejercicio y Actividad Física Higiene y Vida Saludable

    Coaching, Motherhood & 100-Mile Wins with Melissa Henderson
    Jan 9 2026
    In this episode of The Ostrich Running Podcast, Nick sits down with his running coach Melissa Henderson—ultrarunner, 100-mile race winner, coach, and mom—to talk about what it really takes to chase big running goals in a full life.
    Melissa breaks down how she trains for ultramarathons while balancing family, work, and real-world responsibilities. We dive into winning a 100-mile race in under 24 hours, building mental toughness, avoiding burnout, and why consistency always beats talent.
    This conversation goes beyond mileage and race results. It’s about discipline without obsession, ambition without guilt, and learning how to pursue meaningful goals the right way.
    If you’re a runner trying to balance training with life—or someone wondering if big goals still fit your current season—this episode is for you.

  • The Psychology of Endurance Running Training Your Mind -Breaking the Comfort Zone

    The Psychology of Endurance Running Training Your Mind -Breaking the Comfort Zone
    Dec 19 2025
    Episode 38 — Training the Mind for the Miles Ahead & The Cost of Comfort In this solo episode of The Ostrich Running Podcast, Nick Meraz speaks directly to the runner listening right now — mid-run, post-race, or somewhere in between. This episode goes beyond mileage and fitness and into the psychology of endurance. We talk about why most runners don’t fall apart at the hardest miles — they fall apart because of thousands of comfortable decisions made long before race day. Nick explores:
    • Why mental readiness matters more than motivation
    • The hidden cost of comfort in training and everyday life
    • How you train your mind for miles you haven’t reached yet
    • Why the edge isn’t dramatic — it’s quiet and earned
    • How discomfort, fear, and consistency shape who you become
    This conversation is designed to feel like a long-run talk — honest, reflective, and grounded in lived experience. No hype. No shortcuts. Just the work that actually carries you forward when things get hard. If you’ve ever felt strong but not ready… this episode is for you. Run Scared.

  • The Psychology of Showing Up and The Origin of Run Scared

    The Psychology of Showing Up and The Origin of Run Scared
    Dec 12 2025
    In this solo episode, Nick goes deep into the mental side of running — the part no training plan really prepares you for. He breaks down why the hardest part of any run is simply showing up, how identity shifts from “I run” to “I am a runner,” and the three voices every runner carries with them on the road or trail: the Quitter, the Negotiator, and the Champion. Nick also opens up about his own story as a veteran struggling with addiction, how running became a lifeline, and how that journey gave birth to the phrase “Run Scared” and the Ostrich Running brand. If you’ve ever battled your alarm clock, argued with yourself mid-run, or wondered why you keep lacing up when life is heavy — this one’s for you. In this episode:
    • The psychology of showing up when you don’t want to
    • “I am a runner” vs “I run” – how identity changes everything
    • The Quitter, the Negotiator, and the Champion
    • How running helped Nick rebuild his life after addiction
    • What “Run Scared” really means and why it matters
    Listen on your next tempo run, long run, or when you need a reminder of why you do this.
