Episode 24: Running for Recovery (with Steve)

Rise

This week on Rise we are delighted to chat with Steve from Recovery Runners, a new weekly running group in Liverpool where all are welcome, whatever you are recovering from. He shares so openly with us about his own addiction and mental health journey and how running has been such a big part of his recovery, helping him get to a place of true healing and wellness in sobriety. Whether you're an experienced runner already, a complete novice, or anywhere in between, we're pretty sure this episode will inspire you to get your trainers on and give it a go!
Trigger warning for suicide, mental illness and drug use.
