Can running transform your life? Todd Crush's incredible journey from battling schizophrenia and PTSD to becoming a beacon of hope in the running community offers a resounding yes. Todd shares the pivotal moment he discovered running as a powerful tool to manage his hallucinations and anxiety, turning a daily struggle into a source of strength and purpose. His story doesn't just stop at crossing finish lines; it's about harnessing physical and mental discipline to achieve sustained improvements in mental health.

Through dedicated running and writing therapy, Todd experienced a profound personal transformation. He recounts how increasing his running mileage significantly reduced his symptoms, and how writing about his traumatic experiences became a path to self-acceptance and healing. We dive deep into his process, exploring the therapeutic benefits of both physical exertion and creative expression, and how these practices have become integral to his mental well-being, even during challenging times.

But Todd's story is also one of advocacy and challenging stigmas. He candidly discusses the misconceptions surrounding schizophrenia, the impact of media portrayals, and the scientific reasons behind why physical activity enhances the effectiveness of medication. Todd's upcoming 100-mile race is not just a personal milestone; it's a powerful statement in his mission to change the perception of mental illness. Join us to hear Todd's inspiring journey of resilience, advocacy, and the transformative power of running.
