About this listen

 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 Exercise & Fitness Fitness, Diet & Nutrition Hygiene & Healthy Living

    In this episode of the Ostrich Running Podcast, Nick sits down with ultrarunner and coach Steve Epifano to talk about the story behind his new documentary and what it means to chase big goals as a regular runner. Steve has raced everything from short distances to 200-mile ultras, but instead of focusing on podium finishes or elite performances, his film highlights the reality of endurance running — the long hours, the uncertainty, and the personal growth that happens when you keep moving forward. The conversation dives into:
    • Why Steve chose to tell the story of mid-pack runners
    • The lessons learned from filming his own journey
    • Being told his limits early on — and pushing beyond them
    • The mindset required to keep going when things get hard
    • What ultrarunning reveals about who we really are
    This episode is about more than racing — it’s about finding out what you’re capable of when you commit to something difficult. 🎧 Listen, subscribe, and join the flock for more real conversations about running, mindset, and the stories behind the miles.
