Off The Couch

Eric Schranz has been a staple of the trail running and ultrarunning world for over a decade — both as a passionate runner, and as the host of Ultrarunnerpodcast.com. And since Eric spends so much of his time writing about and interviewing other runners, Brendan Leonard (semi-rad.com) and I thought it would be fun to put Eric in the guest seat. So Brendan and I talked with Eric about how he got into running; his work in the music industry and politics; getting started at ultrarunnerpodcast.com; the art of conversation; how running media differs from other sports media coverage; and a whole lot more — including, a rather spirited discussion about the best bank robbery and heist movies of all time.TOPICS & TIMES:When & How Eric got into trail running (1:45)Working in the music industry & politics (7:20)Joining Ultrarunnerpodcast.com (13:52)Making it full time (17:30)The art of conversation (20:28)Finding stories and guests (24:30)Running media vs. other sports media (33:07)What are your running goal
