In Episode 2 of Through Their Stride, I run with Brent Burgess, a local runner and singer whose story proves just how life-changing running can be. After a painful divorce, Brent found purpose and healing through training for the 2023 Austin Marathon, a journey we shared together. He opens up about how running helped him rebuild, why it became a lifeline in one of his darkest seasons, and the surprising ways it continues to spark creativity in his music.Hear Brent Ryan's music here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1PxFi...This series combines sit-down interviews with real running footage of each guest — filmed at their favorite spot.
