From Drinking Every Morning to Running 340 Miles: Tommie Runz on Recovery, Running & Redemption

September 3, 2026·2h 16m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Tommie Runz is a runner, sobriety advocate, and co-host of the PR Project. This conversation explores addiction and redemption through Tommie's insistence that sobriety comes first and everything else is downstream. We discuss his backstory, the denial and the delusion of functional drinking, the moment he told the truth, nine years sober, ultrarunning as a spiritual practice, who belongs on the trail, and more. Tommie is a beautiful representation of a real runner. Enjoy!
