On The Runs

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. Takeaways from Eddie It took a long time to get really reach a level of mental health that I'm at now. the baseball diamond was my sanctuary that running is as a kid. It really was that first step to healing. I am unapologetically unashamed of the things that happened to me. it is okay to not be okay and to talk about those things and be vulnerable. It's got a seat at the table and you need to teach it that you're at the head of the table. I just go out and I'm just leaving it on the side of the road for dead while I'm out there running. The more I opened up to her, the more I was able to open up with really close friends. It's just part of what makes me me. If you're gonna be something, just be kind to people.
