Breaking Free from Exercise Addiction with Micheál Costello

Breaking Free from Exercise Addiction with Micheál Costello

This week on The Toughest Finish Line, I’m joined by Micheál Costello to hear a powerful story of recovery, resilience, and redefining what success really means.

Michael opens up about his battle with an eating disorder and exercise addiction, sharing how these challenges once controlled every aspect of his life. He explains how, through hard work and a shift in mindset, he was able to build a healthier relationship with training and use his passion for sport as a positive force instead.

We also talk about the incredible sporting achievements that followed, including earning a place on the Irish triathlon team, the lessons he's learned through endurance sport, and why true progress is about far more than results.

This is an honest conversation about mental health, identity, recovery, and proving that your toughest finish line isn't always the one you cross on race day.
