The RMA Podcast Episode 41. Freeing myself through running down under. With Travis Ireland.
On episode 41 of the RMA Podcast we speak with our second male guest, Runs of the World, commonly known as Run Down Under founder, Travis Ireland. I talk with Travis about his journey into running, and most importantly the catalyst of events that led to the formation of Run Down Under, a hugely successful running platform and app that takes you on a running journey around Australia and beyond! Travis openly shares about his battle with a gambling addiction that ultimately led him to question his life choices, leading him down a path to a healthier and happier lifestyle. It was during this journey that Travis used his energy for good, to not only help others but himself form positive connections and goals to help him on the road to freedom from his addiction when he created Run Down Under. Since its conception in 2014, Run Down Under has evolved to now be called Runs of the World and includes maps of Australia, New Zealand, Uk, Ireland, Europe and the USA and has attracted over 9,000 members this year alone! I talk to Travis about how Run Down Under and running in general helps him and others, especially men, with mental health and wellbeing. How running can break down barriers and form important connections, and how having positive motivating goals like what Runs of the World provides can create an active, healthier more connected society.
