Running Scared Media

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.

On todays episode of Hybrid Horizons, we chat with Dustin Needham, a prominent athlete in the functional fitness and HYROX communities. We talk about Needham’s transition from a multi-sport background in track and football to becoming a specialized competitor in obstacle course racing and hybrid events. Needham shares insights into his rigorous training regimen, which he largely conducts in his EPIC home garage, and stresses the importance of disciplined recovery and sleep. We also explore the rapid growth of HYROX, noting its high-production value and its appeal as a professionalized "mixed modality" sport. We finish off by discussing his future ambitions, including his upcoming move into the pro solo division and his goal to qualify for the Boston Marathon.
