"The basic idea ... we make a shoe that lets your foot sit in its normal position and doesn't squeeze the toes together. And it's perfectly balanced and kind of gets out of the way of any biomechanical alterations that other shoes might be creating." - Colby Gould
This episode is sponsored by Thrive Protein | Canadian made supplements, nutrition, and hydration to fuel all your adventures. Check them out: Thrive Protein and use the code RUNEGADE to save 20% off your order.
Most runners don’t realize that the shoes they wear could be quietly sabotaging their progress - and their injuries. Fooled by marketing gimmicks and grifters, we keep buying shoes that unfortunately contribute to the injuries we runners seem to run into.
Colby Gould, ultra runner and the driving force behind Altra’s radical, foot-friendly philosophy, reveals how ditching the high drops and narrow toes boxes can transform your run. Whether you're lacing up for long-distance trails or just trying to stay injury-free.
Colby’s journey from college soccer player to trail enthusiast is rooted in one simple idea: your foot was made to move naturally. After discovering that traditional shoes squeeze the toes and restrict movement, he embraced the Altra approach—shoes shaped like feet, with room to splay, zero drop, and the space to run as we were designed to.
We break down the core principles that set Altra apart: the foot-shaped toe box, balanced stack height, and the philosophy of letting your foot be a foot. Colby discusses how these ideas are not just trendy and they can change lives.
Why does this matter? Because ignoring foot mechanics risks endless injuries, lost miles, and giving up what should be a lifelong joy: running - whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out this episode is for anyone sick of injuries, curious about running smarter, or just wondering if your shoes are holding you back.

"I was just a 17-year-old kid, you know, going to high school and one weekend we were going to a party with some friends and that developed into like a major fire" - Masoud Owji
In this powerful episode we sit down with Masoud Owji, a true survivor and unbreakable runner whose life was forever changed at age 17 during the tragic 1998 Göteborg discotheque fire.
That night claimed 63 lives and left Masoud severely burned and fighting for his survival, enduring years of recovery, surgeries, and unimaginable pain. Yet from those ashes and through sheer determination, he transformed trauma into triumph, becoming a dedicated marathoner and striving towards the prestigious Abbott World Marathon Majors Six Star Finisher medal - one of the rarest achievements in the running world, his final star coming in Boston this April.
Masoud's story is a masterclass in grit, mindset, and the transformative power of movement. Runners of all levels will walk away inspired by his lessons: how to overcome physical and mental barriers when everything feels impossible, the importance of finding meaning beyond the finish lines (like turning pain into motivation), and why consistency and gratitude can turn setbacks into comebacks.
Whether you're chasing a PR, recovering from injury, or simply needing a reminder that limits are often self-imposed, Masoud's journey shows that true endurance isn't about never falling - it's about rising every time.
Burned, but never broken. We thank Masoud for becoming a RUNEGADE and we will be cheering you at Boston - go get it!

Episode 49: Karl Meltzer, The Speedgoat, is a RUNEGADE
From the slopes to the podium: scum-bagging, de-fizzing Red Bulls, a signature running shoe, to his latest quest of racing 100, 100 Milers - it's a story that can only be Karl.
Karl Meltzer is a legendary figure in the world of ultrarunning, renowned for his record-breaking performances on some of the world's toughest trails.
We welcome back the Speedgoat, who holds the record for the most 100-mile race wins. The conversation dives deep into Karl's journey in ultra-running, his experiences over the decades, and the mental and physical challenges he faces as he approaches his goal of completing 100 hundred-mile races. Karl shares insights on how running has shaped his life, the importance of listening to one's body, and the mental strategies he employs during races.
The conversation shifts towards the future of ultra running, with Karl expressing his thoughts on the rise of 200-mile races and the increasing professionalism in the sport. He shares his aspirations for his 100th 100-miler, contemplating whether it will be at Hard Rock or Wasatch, and emphasizes the importance of enjoying the journey rather than succumbing to external pressures.
Karl offers valuable advice for new ultra runners, encouraging them to respect the distance and focus on their own experiences rather than comparisons with others.
Takeaways:
"Running has definitely shaped my life.""If it's in your blood, you don't know how to stop.""The satisfaction of doing it is what makes me happy.""I just want to enjoy life now at this point.""It's all so much in your head." "If you just put in your head that this will be over, you can get it done.""Respect the distance. It's hard. It's not just because you run a marathon.""The real heroes of ultra running are not the guys that win all the time. It's the rest of the people.""It doesn't always get worse. You can feel like shit at mile 20, but you can come around if you keep yourself together.""It's not a selfie contest. It's not a buffet. It's not a social media look at me."More Karl:

Boston Billy, never set out to become the face of a revolution. A chain-smoking grad student and Vietnam-era conscientious objector, he stumbled into running as a lifeline, only to unknowingly ignite the 1970s running boom. Four Boston Marathon titles (1975, ’78, ’79, ’80), four straight NYC Marathon wins (1976–’79), a 2:09:27 American record, and over 60 race victories across 100,000 lifetime miles.
Bill pulls back the curtain on his transcendent memoir Marathon Man: My 26.2-Mile Journey from Unknown Grad Student to the Top of the Running World. Not a victory lap, but a raw excavation of how the marathon became his teacher, his therapy, and his tribe.
What emerges is pure gold for every runner: how to keep the marathon from breaking you, the art of racing with joy over grimace, and unforgettable stories from his 60+ marathons where the clock was never the point. Humble to his core, Bill preaches one truth above all, running isn’t about the podium; it’s about showing up, inviting everyone to the party, and letting the miles build something bigger than yourself. If you’ve ever laced up wondering why, this episode is your invitation to go deeper.
We thank Bill for becoming a RUNEGADE. His passion, his sheer joy of running, community and inclusion to the sport is undeniable.
