#10: Reece Calvert - From Addiction to Ultra-Marathons: One Man's Journey of Transformation and Resilience

Maximum Mileage Running Podcast

Ever felt like you've hit the wall, and not just any wall, but The Wall, a brutal ultra-marathon in the North of England? That's where our guest, Reece, found himself, in the middle of an intense physical challenge.
Rhys, an inspiring runner, will take you through his journey from competing in his first marathon to tackling a gruelling 70 miles. As an average guy who mastered the extraordinary, Reece isn't shy about sharing his trials and triumphs, including his recent 5K PB all the way to his experience with the David Goggins' 4x4x48 challenge.
Reece opens up about a deeply personal struggle with addiction and how running became his lifeline. Listen to his compelling story of how he replaced alcohol addiction with running, and the impact of a supportive family on his journey to sobriety.
Running served as a catalyst to re-evaluate his perspective on wellness. He shares his insights on the mental and physical benefits of running and how it has changed his life.
Today, Rhys is an ultra-marathoner standing testament to the transformative power of running and the resilience of the human spirit. Listen in to find that spark that will push you to take on your own Wall.
