Description
Running can be a transformative experience, offering a means to overcome traumatic experiences and rebuild lives. Phil Hewitt's personal journey with running began after he was viciously mugged in 2016, leaving him with acute symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Through his own struggles and those of others who have used running as a way to cope with trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, addiction, and other challenges, Hewitt explores the power of running to reconstruct identity and create a new normality. This book is an in-depth exploration of how running can be a key to unlocking resilience and finding a way forward. With its powerful and uplifting message, Outrunning the Demons offers a compelling exploration of why running can be a vital tool for overcoming traumatic experiences and rebuilding lives.
