Raziq Rauf is the voice behind Running Sucks, a fast-growing newsletter and Instagram account that explores modern run culture with honesty, humor, and curiosity. A former music journalist, Raziq’s storytelling captures what running really feels like for most of us — messy, meditative, and profoundly human.
In this episode, he and Howie dig into the parallels between writing, recovery, and running; how the “just do it” ethos still carries real weight; and why the best thing you can do for others is to take care of yourself first. From his days discovering Coldplay and Muse to posting his slow runs on Strava to help others feel seen, Raziq reminds us that running doesn’t have to be about winning — it’s about showing up, staying curious, and keeping the door open for everyone else to join.
