From Rock Bottom to Sub-3 Marathons: How Running Rebuilt Austyn Farrell's Life

From Rock Bottom to Sub-3 Marathons: How Running Rebuilt Austyn Farrell's Life

"Last year, I was learning about myself. Now, I am myself."


This week on The Runna Podcast, Ben and Anya speak to dancer, content creator, and marathoner Austyn Farrell.


Austyn Farrell's online feed is full of joy, from hilarious skits to viral dance videos. But this conversation goes deeper.


Austyn shares his history of mental health struggles, substance misuse and a loneliness that performing couldn't fix - and how everything changed two years ago when he started running. He joined us in the studio having just run a sub-3 marathon in London!


This episode is a perfect mixture of inspiring honesty and comedic gold.
