Ramona Tyler is the founder of Pace Berlin and a Lululemon ambassador in Berlin.

In this episode, we discuss Ramona’s upbringing and their early relationship with running, how biking took center stage when they moved to Berlin, and finally how all of that came together in the creation of their running club. Ramona’s story is one of growth, care, and building community, and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Bryce didn’t come to build a run club. He just wanted to meet a few people.
But what started as a weekly jog with strangers has grown into Optimistic Runners Run Club—a community where the loop matters more than the finish line, and where showing up—on time, in the cold, with a smile—is an act of care.

In this episode of Crew Cast, Bryce talks about:

• Growing up on Réunion Island and finding rhythm in movement
• His journey into triathlon and endurance sports
• Building a welcoming space for runners of all levels in Berlin
• Why running loops can feel like meditation
• How Optimistic Runners became a soft landing spot for people new to the city
• And the quiet beauty of simply being recognized by name

It’s not just a story about running. It’s about belonging.

This week on Crewcast, we sit down with Tim, founder of Founders Running Club, to talk about building community through running. Tim shares how a high-pressure startup life and marathon training in San Francisco led to the birth of a global run club with over 30 chapters. We explore how FRC blends entrepreneurship and fitness, why it's more about conversation than pace, and what it takes to scale a community across continents. If you're curious about launching a chapter—or just love a good runner's origin story—this one's for you.

They talk leadership, burnout, brand politics, and rebuilding community after the pandemic. We dive into what it truly means to create a safe space when everyone’s watching—and how to hold that line when it counts.

Most runners hit a wall, mentally and physically. What if the pain was the point?

Katarina is a Berlin-based artist, coach, and community builder who stopped chasing numbers and started treating running like a game. In this episode she breaks down the mindset shifts that took her from overtraining as a college athlete to running on feel, and why that switch made her training more sustainable, more joyful, and a lot harder to get injured doing.

We get into:

• Vibe-based training, and what it actually means to run on feel instead of metrics
• How to read your own body well enough to trust it
• Simple at-home work (lunges, stride drills) that cleans up your form
• How to spot overstriding using video of your own run
• Real stories from the Euro Trip relay: the near-misses, the mishaps, the unglamorous reality of ultra-distance teamwork
• Her unconventional race strategy and how she runs long with joy
• Why community, not stats, is what keeps her going

Whether you're chasing a faster 5K, training for your first marathon, or just tired of quantifying every mile, this one's a reset. It's for anyone who wants to run on their own terms and actually enjoy it.

Press play and run your own way.
