"Your Story Your Why " - Tommie Runz - Episode 4
About this episode
Tommie Runz shares his transformative journey from addiction to ultra-marathon running and the importance of authenticity in content creation.
What happens when you trade addiction and "thirst traps" for 100-mile mountain races and intentional, community-driven content? In this episode, we sit down with Tommie Runz (formerly "Tommy Guns"), an ultra-marathoner, content creator, and founder of PR Project, who is gearing up for the legendary Western States 100 in June. Tommie opens up about his profound journey toward sobriety starting in 2017 and how finding running a year later completely shifted his life's trajectory. From running a 3:13 in his very first marathon to surviving a grueling 340-mile solo trek from LA to Vegas on the Speed Project's OG route, Tommie delivers a masterclass in shifting your perspective, choosing your own suffering, and staying radically authentic in a world full of manufactured content. He also breaks down his strict requirement for brand deals, his goals for the silver buckle, and why he wants you to run across the finish line with him. 馃帶 Listen Now Connect with Us: Our website: https://www.marathonjournal.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningpodcast YouTube: https://youtube.com/@marathonjournal Follow us on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/30798607
