About this listen
Running doesn’t just build fitness; sometimes, it rebuilds a sense of self.
For carpenter and father of three Craig Parsons, running began in a rather unique way. Balancing long hours, physical work, and family life, Craig has faced anxiety, alcohol, and self-doubt head-on... proving that strength isn’t about muscle, it’s about mindset.
In this raw and honest episode of Runbelievable, Joshie and Matty talk with Craig about the challenges of opening up in a tough, masculine industry, the lessons learned through injury and recovery, and how running helped him find focus, purpose, and community.
In this episode:
- How running entered and transformed Craig’s life
- The shift from casual jogs to marathon milestones
- Overcoming injury during Ned’s Uncomfortable Challenge
- Managing anxiety and alcohol for long-term wellbeing
- Redefining strength and balance in work, family, and running
