Miles, Mindset, Oreos & Growth

What happens when heartbreak turns into a starting line and a single run becomes a passport to the world? In this energizing episode of Fireside Chat from Run Tri Bike, host Jason Bahamundi sits down with marathoner, tech professional, and unapologetic Oreo fan Derrick Song to talk running, mindset, and keeping perspective while chasing big goals.

Derrick shares how his running journey began during a major life reset, inspired by his father’s late-in-life marathoning and fueled by quiet, music-free miles that became a space for clarity and growth. From there, one marathon turned into many with each race offering culture, community, and connection beyond the finish line.

The conversation dives into mental resilience, consistency over motivation, and breaking challenges down one mile at a time which are lessons that apply to training, work, and life.

Derrick also introduces the Aletheia Run wearable, exploring how thoughtful use of running technology can reveal biomechanical insights and support injury prevention.

And because this is Fireside Chat, food matters. Oreos? Yes. Candy corn? Hard no.

This episode is for everyday runners who value growth, humor, inclusivity, and showing up—no podiums required.

Welcome to Food Fight Friday at the Aid Station presented by 7 Summits Snacks, the weekly podcast where endurance athletes, trail junkies, and snack enthusiasts gather to debate the most important question in ultra running: Which questionable food will get you through mile 41?

On today’s episode, we dive into the hilariously unhinged game of Eat, Toss, or Carry, featuring guest Mariah Zavala, who brings Oaxacan, Pascua Yaqui, and Puerto Rican flavor and the culinary wisdom to back it up. Hosted by Jason Bahamundi, this episode blends cultural food stories with endurance athlete chaos in a way only Run Tri Bike can deliver.

This week’s contenders?
🌮 Tlayuda — the ultimate ultra “Mexican pizza.”
🍪 Coyota — sweet, dangerous, and mile-41 questionable.
🍤 Alcapurria — the fritter that could fuel world peace.

Mariah breaks down which food she’d eat, which she’d carry, and which she’d toss into the bushes. Jason disagrees loudly (and incorrectly), because of course he does.

If you love running, culture, comedy, and fueling strategies that may or may not destroy your stomach, this is your new favorite episode.

He opens up about childhood trauma, the emotional weight of creativity as a tattoo artist, and how running became a form of self-therapy long before he understood why he needed it.
