Why Running Rewires The Brain- The One With An Ultra Rewire
In this emotionally raw and ridiculously funny episode, Nick and Jarett unpack the emotional rollercoaster of running — from the quiet rewiring of your brain to the full-blown freakouts on the trail.
Nick shares how running reshapes how we manage anger, stress, and even sadness, while Jarett… well, tries to figure out why anyone would choose this madness. This episode blends the serious side of mental growth with hilarious true (and true-ish) stories of runners losing their minds.
You'll laugh, you’ll relate, and you’ll walk away realizing: running doesn’t just make you stronger — it makes you more human.
