About this listen

Some runs change your pace. Others change your life. Helen Hanson joins us to share how a 15‑minute first mile became the start of an eleven‑year journey through recovery, resilience, and community—culminating in a grit‑filled New York City Marathon that doubled as a release valve for a hard year. We go deep on the moments that shaped her. Helen breaks down how small, repeatable wins built trust in herself. She’s candid about navigating family loss and setting boundaries, and she shares how running for a recovery‑focused charity gave her purpose when chasing a PR wasn’t the point.
