He's already part of our PodFam but finally we get to have him on the pod for his own episode as we're wicked excited to welcome Eddie Ferris to the Pod!

Eddie Ferris, a longtime Manchester runner and familiar face in the local running community, joins us for a candid conversation about childhood trauma, PTSD, therapy, and the role running plays in his mental health. He describes finding a therapist and EMDR therapy after earlier approaches failed, and explains why openness, supportive friends, and everyday kindness matter to his ongoing healing. Guest Eddie Ferris talks with us about an amicable divorce, his Lyme disease misdiagnosis and recovery, and the running community that helped him rebuild. He traces his progress from returning to running after illness to a sub-90-minute half marathon and pursuing Boston qualification, sharing lessons about patient training, supportive friendships, and marathon preparation. Eddie Ferris tells us how he came back from Lyme disease, injuries, and doctors urging him to consider disability to become a Boston Marathon qualifier. He recounts a difficult first Boston, a steadier race and personal best at the next, and shares a hopeful message about kindness and mental health.

And honestly? That same energy is why she’s such a great coach.

No one cares if it’s messy.
No one cares if it’s imperfect.
Just show up and do the thing.
