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!

Hamilton, ON! A gritty town. A tough town. A virus has broken out and all hell has broken loose! This audio was a clip from the first story of the 6 week horror story (Jogcast) event! I made this with the ever talented Rob Lendrum because we love horror and running!

This is how the 6 week event will work! Each week a new jogcast drops, put your headphones in. Press play and start running.

We’ll track that you completed the story and even see if you were paying attention by uncovering the secret artifact.

6 weeks. 6 stories. A little competition, with weekly and overall prize winners!

Back at it after a few days off to let my feet recover (no pics necessary! 🤣 Big thanks to 5 Peaks Adventures ND Jacob Puzey and Ontario RD Lisa Sweetman and Carrie for creating an exceptional race community and experience. I worked hard on Albion track and finished 18th overall. Pretty stoked for that. Now my sights are set on the Creemore Vertical Challenge. Really excited to see what that race has in store! Also may need to sneak into that last 5peaks event. You should too! Also have our True Course Podcast host Adam tackling the Haliburton Forest Ultra today. Good luck ma man! And lastly it’s my wife’s birthday. She is amazing and I love her very much. Happy Birthday! 🎉🎉🎉

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.
