An Unexpected Detour (Feat. Kieran Healey-Ryder)

from The Adaptive Athlete Podcast · host The Adaptive Athlete

Mat Hotho sits down with Kieran Healey-Ryder, a Glasgow-based adaptive athlete navigating a rare, progressive skeletal disease that's slowly taking the use of his left leg. Kieran shares the story of a camping trip discovery, a devastating second opinion delivered in a Scottish palatial estate, and the quiet grief that arrives in micro-moments.He talks about losing his career and his mobility at the same time, CrossFit Glasgow refusing to let him quit, his daughters training alongside him, and the humor that keeps it all livable. He's been in the Adaptive Open, he's still lifting, and he's still figuring it out — which is exactly the point.Send us Fan MailFollow the podcast on Instagram: @TheAdaptiveAthletePod
