Madison "Coach" Tucker.

There aren't enough superlatives. Madison is a father, a husband, a middle school teacher, a volleyball coach, and a PGA Certified Gold Instructor. He's run countless races of every distance from 5k to 50 miles.

That's just the surface of who he is and what he does. When you dig deeper, you'll uncover a man who has battled demons, overcome alcohol and xanax misuse, and channeled his checkered past into a passion for inspiring others to live a purpose driven, full life.

To know Madison is to be inspired by his seemingly endless positivity and energy. Enjoy.

Dave | Runner

One of the greatest gifts recovery has given me is the occasional moment when I'm able to apply new ideas to my running journey. I'm endlessly fascinated by those profound "aha moments" when I connect the (sometimes obvious) dots between sobriety and endurance. I think it's safe to say Dave feels the same way.

Dave is a family man and an ultra runner with 12 years of sobriety. He was gracious enough to publicly share his experience, strength, and hope. We talked about what his life was like then and what it's like now.

Conversations like this remind me how important it is to remember that so often when we meet a stranger, we're only seeing a small glimpse of their life in what could be one of their best moments, or their worst.

In one moment, we can decide to change, and who we were then can be miles apart from who we are now.

Andrew Griggs. A brother from another mother. A long lost cousin. A kindred spirit. More to the point- he's a runner in sobriety. Andrew stopped drinking over two years ago, but he's been a runner and an endurance athlete for even longer.

Andrew's athletic prowess was built on the foundation of a long soccer career, but what fascinated me most was his mental game. He isn't afraid to spend several hours on the trail reflecting on his past, his purpose, or his relationship with running and sobriety.

Andrew walks a fine line that not everyone can. He is inquisitive without being overbearing, intentional without being pretentious, and inspiring on social media without being inauthentic. Follow him on TikTok @andrew_roadrunner and Instagram @andrew_road_runner and I'm sure you'll agree.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
