Ep18: Loss, Faith & Finding Strength, with Ryan — Herefordshire

About this episode

Ryan shares his personal story of loss and resilience, discussing how running and faith have helped him cope.

Ryan joins us to share his personal story shaped by loss, resilience, and perspective. From an ectopic pregnancy with a previous partner, to the loss of his partner, Olivia, and later a miscarriage of twins with his wife, Beth, Ryan reflects on how grief has evolved over time — and how he’s found ways to keep moving forward. He talks about the role running plays in processing difficult moments, the strength he’s found in family, and how faith has helped him hold onto hope. This Sunday, we head to rural Herefordshire for Marathon 19, with Ryan joined by his sister, Kathy, for what promises to be a stunning outing. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube 👉 Follow the journey and support the cause at marathonsformiracles.com All episodes contain sensitive discussions around pregnancy loss and grief.
