Running Toward Recovery: Coach K's Journey on Addict II Athlete Podcast

Your identity is based around your drug use, and if you can switch your identity to who I am. Yeah, yeah, you know what you are speaking, exactly what we preach here on team addict to athlete, and that's the.
Can running really be a path to recovery? In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu Robinson sits down with Herb Kieklak, a seasoned running coach and sobriety mentor. Herb, affectionately known as Coach K, shares his transformative journey from addiction to becoming a guiding light for others seeking sobriety. They dive into how running and service have been pivotal in his healing process and discuss the hurdles he faced along the way.
Herb opens up about his work with inmates, using running as a tool to help them overcome personal challenges and find a healthier path forward. The conversation also touches on the importance of building a positive identity in recovery, the role of community support, and why finishing strong is crucial—not just in running, but in life.
For those who love a bit of controversy, there's even a chat about the pros and cons of using headphones while running and the benefits of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR). Whether you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, this episode offers a fresh perspective on using physical activity and community service as powerful tools for recovery. Tune in to hear how you can start your own journey toward a healthier, happier life.
