What happens when grief knocks the wind out of your life — and you’re forced to find a way to keep moving?
In this powerful and deeply human episode, we sit down with Michael, an accomplished runner and satellite leader for FORDY RUNS Running Club in Catford, to talk about how running quite literally saved his life.

After losing his dad to COVID during the pandemic, Michael found himself battling depression and emotional numbness. Motivation disappeared. Direction vanished. But one step — and then another — slowly changed everything.

Michael opens up about:
Losing his father during the pandemic and the emotional aftermath
How depression showed up in his daily life
Discovering running as a tool for survival, not performance
The mental clarity, discipline, and community that running gave him
Becoming a FORDY RUNS satellite leader and helping others find their stride
Why running is about more than medals — it’s about staying alive

This episode is for anyone navigating grief, mental health struggles, or searching for purpose. Whether you’re a runner, thinking about starting, or just need to hear that recovery is possible — Michael’s story will stay with you.

🎧 If running has ever helped you through a dark moment — or you hope it might — this conversation is for you.
