A lighthearted conversation by runners about their lives as runners and the issues that are interesting or important to them and guests of the show. TJM is meant to be a companion to you as you run. Think of us as your running partners on days when you just need some friends to get you out on an easy run. The show is composed of 10 segments, one for each mile, and every 10 minutes or so we move on to the next topic, to keep things interesting. Among the hosts' experience are ten 100-mile finishes, dozens of half and full marathons, plenty of 50-milers, and some speedy 5ks and a BQ (and a handful of DNFs).
Your host, Scotty Kummer is an attorney, doberman owner and quite possibly the most painstakingly average runner known to man. Scott has stumbled through numerous plus 4 and 5 hour marathons. He's DNF'ed the 150 mile, 100 mile, 50 mile and marathon distance. Okay, and he is a member of the Order of the Hrimthurs for having completed the Arrowhead 135, the Tuscobia 160 and the Actif Epica 120K in the same calendar year (more people have walked on the moon) as well as finshed 50+ ultramarathons including several 100 mile races. He was once kicked out of an ultra runing group due to allegations of cyber-bullying. He has a habit of offending people by accident while trying to help them. He is a co-founder of the Flatlander Ultrarunners in Chicagoland which has rapidly grown to over 2000 members. He came up with the idea for Ten Junk Miles after becoming frustrated with hearing interview after interview of Scott Jurek and deciding that runners needed more: more discussions of bathroom breaks that went wrong, pacer stories from hell, DNF reports, stories of getting lost on the trail and other related matters.

Customer Reviews
Levity and some running
Great mix of related to running and related to people too.
Running With Friends
Where would my long runs be without my TJM? Nine years ago I could not even run around the block. After completing a C25K (which is the gateway drug to running) I fell in love with running and started increasing my mileage. TJM is my go to for all those double digit runs. Over the years I have laughed, cried, and been inspired by this pod. My goal: fly from California to WI and run my first 50k at the Badger! Keep moving forward!
Ok fine. I’ll write a review.
I started listening because of Kent Cowgill. Then started listening from the beginning because I can’t not. But I just jumped ahead because of Oscar Delgado. Now I’ll go back to where I left off in 2017. Good to hear not much has changed in the next 6-7 years. I think that’s good?
I only listened while running for a while, but I’m dealing with some plantar fasciitis so now I’m listening while doing a jigsaw puzzle. I’ll catch up eventually.
Oh yeah and I enjoy the show. Relatable, funny and my only issue is when someone starts eating food into the mic 😭. #misophonia
Might run St Pats this year. Wonder if that is still a TJM thing. Already signed up for a Ragnar, Run Woodstock and Hungerford. Gotta heal up!
