Trail talk, race chaos, and practical suffering.

The Running Mullet is a running conversation with dirt on it. It opens like a pre-race parking-lot chat, full of teasing, half-starts, weather complaints, and quick jabs before the serious details arrive. The show's center of gravity is trail running, especially the race culture around events like Hyner. When Hyner comes up, the talk is specific: hot weekends, missing leaf cover, exposed climbs, competitive fields, expectation management, and the difference between racing hard and spectating comfortably. That practical detail matters. It keeps the show from becoming only banter, even when the banter is loudest. Episodes also wander into oddball endurance adventures, including the Roburrito Run and its large burritos across York-area stops. The point is rarely just who won. The better question is what the challenge felt like, where it got ugly, what the course asked for, and who has a good story afterward. Injury and illness are part of the rhythm as well, with updates on bronchitis, MRI results, time off running, and the slow return to normal training. The show is comfortable admitting that running life includes congestion, bad timing, no running at all, and still showing up to talk about it. Mullet Chronicles episodes shift the format by reading race reports word for word, including Ben Mazur's 2017 Hyner Trail Challenge 50K report. Those installments give the feed a scrapbook quality, preserving older trail-running memory alongside the weekly chatter. The tone stays loose. The pacing is brisk and interruptive. It can be sincere, but it usually reaches sincerity through ribbing rather than speeches. The Running Mullet suits runners who like local knowledge, recurring jokes, race numbers, questionable decisions, and friends who can discuss suffering without making it precious. It is not glossy. That is the appeal.
Made for: Best for trail runners, curious road runners, and race regulars who enjoy banter as much as course detail. It especially fits listeners who want running talk that includes weather, injuries, food challenges, and post-race storytelling.
What sets it apart: The show mixes trail specificity with a loose duo rhythm, so race logistics and bodily reality sit right beside teasing and digressions. Its Mullet Chronicles race-report readings also give it an archival layer most casual running chats do not have.
The Running Mullet is an interactive discussion about everything running related and all the $hit that comes with it. Like a well-groomed mullet, Eric is all business in the front, and Grayce is all party in the back.Tune in live on YouTube Monday nights at 7:30 est. to join in the discussion or catch the recording while you break a sweat on your easy run.

A lap-counting, salt-managing conversation that keeps the numbers and fatigue in view.
