Pulled one from the vault for a little holiday bonus. We may do this from time to time.

Happy Holidays from the Running Scared team of Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts. To get you in the festive spirit, we're reviewing a Canadian cult classic Black Christmas (1974). Although made on a small budget, it features some big Canadian acting talent and several key innovations for the genre of horror. That being said, is this a comedy or a cop movie? A genre bending art film or a cop out? What Benny HIll skit is Mrs. Mac from? Is Mr. Harrison the worst father on the planet? Crush a couple of Labbat 50s and get ready for a full 60 minutes of Running Scared Christmas convo.

She shares her background in running, detailing her motivation from competitive challenges at her gym and her experience with local fun runs, including the themed "Dirty Wookie" race in Reno. They talk about Cora's passion for event coordination and the "Life of a Runner Girl" virtual 5K/10K she organized, which was inspired by a Taylor Swift album and served as a fundraiser for the mental health organization Still I Run. They finish off by discussing how running support positive mental health, fundraising tactics, and Cora's training for her upcoming first full marathon in Honolulu, while always highlighting the supportive nature of her local running community, the McKellar Run Club.

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.

On todays episode of Rucking Around, host Ari Fleman chats with guest Chris Vick, owner of Squatch Survival Gear. Chris, a former airborne infantry soldier, explains that his business was born out of modifying his uncomfortable military Alice pack and later using rucking to manage PTSD and chronic injuries following his service.

The company's core mission is to overcome existing industry flaws by prioritizing comfort and endurance in pack design, recognizing that proper fit is crucial for both physical and mental resilience during long events. Chris emphasizes that packs intended for carrying significant weight must incorporate a true pack frame and be ergonomically designed to distribute the load across the body’s power zone rather than relying solely on connective tissues. They also cover market trends, noting the importance of considering biometric differences when designing gear, leading to new products like a specialized chest strap for women. they wrap it up by offering general advice for new ruckers regarding how to safely adjust the variables of weight, speed, and distance in their training.
