Welcome to the first-ever Running Free Variety Pack — a new monthly tradition where we let our hair down, field listener questions, react to surprise prompts, and riff on everything from the meaningful to the ridiculous.

This week:
• Is flexing in the mirror a crime?• The origin story of Justin's nickname• Who is the more mature gentlemen?• Our gym pet peeves• Our go-to healthy fast-food spots• Gas vs. electric vehicles

It’s unfiltered, fast-paced, and fun—but as always, packed with substance (the healthy kind).

Got a question or topic for the next Variety Pack? DM @runningfreepodcast on Instagram and we might tackle it on the next one.

Running Free is a podcast about optimizing health, and breaking free from the habits and distractions that hold us back. We cover fitness, parenting, mindfulness, addiction, mental health, and everything in between.

Hosted by veteran, fitness expert, and health advocate Jesse Carrajat, each episode explores what it means to live fully—through honest conversations with thinkers, creators, and everyday people who teach and inspire us to trade distraction and frivolousness for healthy, long, meaningful lives.
