In this powerful episode of the Tulsa Run Podcast, host Kevin Green sits down with Nathan Gormley, Tulsa Run ambassador and recovering alcoholic, whose journey from a state-funded treatment center to the Boston Marathon starting line is nothing short of inspiring.

Nathan shares how he went from struggling to run two minutes on a busted treadmill to logging sub-17 5Ks and sub-1:19 half marathons. Running became his lifeline — a meditative, spiritual practice that helped him rebuild his life, maintain sobriety and transform his physical and mental health.

He opens up about the early days of recovery, how his counselor’s advice changed everything and what the Tulsa Run mug means to him now that he has won it multiple times.

This episode is packed with hard truths, redemption and encouragement, especially for those who might be starting from zero.
