017 - Deaths Door To 100km Ultra Marathons: Stryde-ing Forward - Owen Lancelot (@bagontherun)

In Episode 17, I sit down with Owen Lancelot, an ultra runner and ostomate whose story goes way beyond ulcerative colitis.Diagnosed at 16, Owen shares what happens to your mind when your body starts betraying you: the anger, the loss of fear, the reckless coping, and the brutal cycle of meds, steroids, and hospital stays. He also opens up about the lesser-known “domino effects” of treatment and surgery, and the ripple impact on the people who love you.Then we get into the rebuild: how endurance sport gave Owen control again, his philosophy on the “pain cave,” and why community matters so much for men living with chronic illness.We also talk about Stryde, the support garment Owen is building to help ostomates train and live with more confidence. Owen is an amzing advocate who raises money for Crohns & Colitis charites for every race that he does.This conversation was made possible today by Salts Healthcare.Their app Ostique Connect is fantastic tool to prevent the isolation that can come with chronic illness and its completely free.If you'd like to check it out you can download at the links below:Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ostiqueltd.ostiqueconnect&hl=enIOS: https://apps.apple.com/ar/app/ostique-connect/id6463715231You can check out Owens social and his business Stryde:@bagontherun@strydeactive
