A Stroke, Kindness on the Run, and the Road to Recovery | IDKR Episode 178
Description
This week’s episode takes a very real — and unexpected — turn.
Lewis and Mitch dive into the chaos of everyday running life, from impatient drivers to moments of pure kindness on the road. But what starts as a lighthearted chat quickly becomes a powerful conversation when Mitch opens up about a sudden stroke that changed everything.
🎙️ In This Episode:
The growing rush of drivers — and how runners can stay safe.
The surprising kindness of strangers (and how we sometimes react).
Mitch’s frightening stroke experience while on vacation — and his incredible recovery story.
What it means to slow down, reevaluate, and find gratitude in the everyday.
A look ahead to the California Fall Classic 100K — training updates, gear talk, and realistic race goals.
A shoutout to Laura for crushing the Mammoth 200 and showing what true endurance looks like.
