John Freeman’s story is one of movement in every sense of the word. Born in Australia and drawn to landscapes that shaped his identity, John’s journey took him through bike racing in New York, years of undocumented life in the U.S., and the hard-earned clarity of sobriety. Along the way, running became more than a sport, it became a practice of presence, self-love, and spiritual grounding.
In this conversation, John opens up about navigating recovery, the empowering edge of unsanctioned races, and the ways running and farming reconnect him with both family and land. We talk about the rebellious spirit of high school teams, the meditative calm of start lines, and how creating a DIY running zine is helping him reclaim his artistic voice. This is an honest, layered look at resilience, creativity, and the power of putting one foot in front of the other.
