About Running
About Running – people start running for many reasons – fitness, weight loss, qualifying for Boston, in my case, to completely change my life. Join me as we journey together in finding why running change my life.
Ryan is an athlete, blogger, and coach who has inspired people around the world with his open and honest discussion of panic, anxiety, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Having suffered with OCD throughout his life, he first got into running after trying everything else. From diets to conventional medicines, nothing seemed to be any help. He had hit rock bottom when he decided to give running a try. On the verge of suicide, he found himself on a new adventure. Setting goals for himself and escaping from the struggle that had become his everyday life, he dove headlong into the sport and never looked back.
After eight years, Ryan has run more than forty half marathons, four full marathons, and many 5Ks and 10Ks. He finds deep joy in running, and along the way, he has made some lifelong friends. Every time he puts on his running shoes, he knows that he is having fun but also that he is fighting a battle. Passionate about both aspects of his sport, he seeks to encourage others to find their own energy in life just as he has.
Anxiety is a battle that Ryan is willing to fight! #beatnanxiety #endthestigma
