It's like that natural drive for us as humans is, like you said, is to move and not run away from things, but to run because of things and run toward things.
What happens when you mix ultrarunning with a mission for addiction recovery? You get an inspiring conversation between Coach Blu Robinson and Dean Karnazes. Dean, known for his incredible feats like winning the Badwater ultramarathon and running 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days, shares his journey in this episode of the Addict II Athlete podcast.
He dives into how running has been a powerful tool in his life, not just for physical endurance but for emotional and mental resilience too. Coach Blu and Dean discuss the importance of emotional connectivity and balance, especially when overcoming addiction. They reflect on how running can serve as a metaphor for life’s challenges, teaching us to run towards our goals rather than away from our problems.
