But before we get into that, I want to know a little bit more about your running journey and how you actually became a runner.

Ryan DownsGUEST
I had a couple of little stints in 2017 and 18 where I would do a little bit of running, but it never really stuck.

And then while I was at CIT for my apprenticeship, probably four years ago, I would run before I went to school because I had like a little bit of extra time in the morning.

And then once we had a child, Jesse, in 2023, and as soon as he kind of turned one, I trained jiu-jitsu and wrestling for six years before that.
