Today on the Runna Podcast, we’re joined by Nev Schulman—host of Catfish and a passionate runner. Nev shares his journey of discovering his love for running, pushing his limits in marathons, and finding new purpose by guiding blind athletes. He has embraced this role even more since a severe neck injury in August 2024 that left him unsure if he’d ever run again. Through resilience and support, Nev has made his comeback, returning to running with a renewed joy and determination.
