The One Where We Walk Before We Run

from The Ostrich Running Podcast · host Nick Meraz

The One Where We Walk Before We RunIn this episode, we sit down with Tyson Black—a laid-back, hard-working trail runner from Southeast Tennessee who just last year decided to stop making excuses and start walking. Fast forward a few months, and he’s knocking out 50Ks and 50 milers with oatmeal creme pies in hand (and sometimes on his face).We talk about what it’s like to go from walking to ultramarathons in under a year, how self-talk keeps him moving through the pain cave, and why most people underestimate the power of slow, steady, stubborn progress. Tyson gets real about juggling life, family, and the grind, and shares the mindset that’s helping him cross the entire state of Tennessee on foot.From ripped shirts at finish lines to UTMB dreams, this one’s full of grit, growth, and straight-up heart.
