The One Where It Gets Sweaty

from The Ostrich Running Podcast · host Nick Meraz

The One Where We Get SweatyIn this episode, we sit down with Joseph Proctor, aka Apache Joe—a husband, father of three, and a former high school and college runner who took a 23-year detour through the chaos of mental health struggles before lacing up again. What brought him back? Nose breathing, miles in the dark, and something deeper that couldn’t be ignored.We dive into Joe’s raw and honest journey: the battle back to running, the rituals that ground him, and the philosophy behind doing hard things—sweaty things—with purpose. This is one of those conversations that’ll stick with you long after your run is over.Whether you're just getting started, burned out, or running toward something you can’t quite name, this one's for you. Listen in, get inspired, and remember: it's okay to get weird with it.🎧 Available wherever you get your podcasts.Visit The Ostrich Running Store:Ostrich Running StoreMake sure you contact Joe's wife Caitlin to see how she helped him with his nervous system reset.
