Running Scared Media
Welcome to Running Scared Media!
In this collection of shows, we will bring you stories straight from the people who live them. Imagine lacing up your shoes, hitting your favourite route, and joining us as we literally go for a run with inspiring athletes. This isn't just a recording; it's an innovative, in-the-moment experience, capturing raw, authentic conversations as they unfold. Our brand is built on these real-time, unscripted interviews with real people, cultivating a trusted community where you're directly with the source, sharing in their journey. Through these unfiltered conversations, you'll hear their triumphs, struggles, and "why"—all while putting in your own miles—and discover what truly motivates someone to push their limits, conquer challenges, and find joy in every step.
Whether you're training for your first 5K or your next 50K, every step has a story.
Explore all our amazing shows, including:
- Running Buddies: In-depth interviews with incredible runners.-
- Sole Sisters with Justine and Kylie: Candid conversations with inspiring female athletes.
- Rucking Around with Ari: A dedicated show for all things rucking.
We also create original horror audio narratives intended to motivate joggers (aka jogcasts).

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.
