Running Scared
Share
We aim to build a community around the running motivational tool we call Jogcasts.
These cinematic audio dramas are specifically created to not only entertain you but motivate you to run!
New Episode of True Course out now! Look for Running Scared Media wherever you get your pods! How did a construction industry executive end up training for a 50-kilometer trail race he never planned to run?
In this first episode of True Course, Adam Melnick shares the real origin story — the decision that started it all back in January, the road to Haliburton Forest, and the honest why underneath a season most people would assume he’d talk himself out of.
No elite background. No shortcuts. Just one real amateur build, told as it happens.
True Course follows a working professional’s ultramarathon season in real time — training that works, plans that fall apart, and conversations along the way with coaches, athletes, and experts who understand what it actually takes to go the distance.
Your true course is never the line you planned. It’s the one you actually run.
New episodes every other Thursday.

We have a new show! 🎤🎙️ 🎉 A 4th podcast added to the network and most excitingly, a video pod! Meet Adam Melnick, your host of Running Scared Media’s new podcast, True Course. Adam is not an elite runner. He hasn’t completed multiple 50 and 100 mile races, but he’s fallen in love with trail running and now wants to share that journey with you! He is a self proclaimed mid-pack athlete whose path to the trail ran through a Sprint Triathlon, a bodybuilding stage, and the Highland Games before ultras ever entered the picture
True Course works on a simple premise: endurance sport reveals who you actually are.
— True Course follows one real athlete season in real time, alongside conversations with coaches, race directors, nutritionists, and fellow amateurs who found something true about themselves out on the course. Episodes every Second Thursday with the first one next week!

Chill 8km today. Home stretch now with 6 days out from 5 Peaks Adventures Albion Hills Grit. Feeling good . Reading a great Erik Larsson book “The Splendid and the Vile - about WW2 and Churchill. Inspired me to snap a pick of a WW2 era plane. Very cool. Lastly, on to the next challenge. The Creemore Vertical on Oct 17. Doing the 14km “Dip”. I hear it’s challenging. 😂 Had a great chat with the good people at and we will be having the Owner and RD on the podcast soon. Lots of other exciting things coming up as well.
In the latest episode of Sole Sisters, Justine and Kylie talk to 5 Peaks Adventures RD Laurie For the full conversation head to Running Scared Media wherever you get your pods. Partners: Hettas THN Labs. On Trail Nutrition
