Our Collective Stories

Living with ADHD as an adult can sometimes feel like your brain has its own playlist on shuffle—jumping from one thought to the next, making it hard to focus, stay organized, or even relax. Running may not be a cure, but it offers structure, routine, and a powerful way to burn off restlessness while boosting focus and mood. For adults navigating the ups and downs of ADHD, running can be a lifeline.

The world of athletics encourages discipline, focus, and strength. These qualities often drive athletes to succeed, but they can also become the very things that put someone at risk. Eating disorders in athletes are a serious concern, and they don’t always look the way people expect. 

At Still I Run, we believe that true self-care runs deeper. It’s about consistently taking care of your mental health, showing up for yourself even when it’s hard, and building habits that help you cope with life, not escape it. Which means it might be time to rethink what self-care really means.
