Reid Burrows | Ultra Running, Mental Health, and Attempting the Mid South Double

Reid Burrows joins The Stable Cyclist Podcast for an honest conversation about endurance sport, mental health, and what it means to bet on yourself when life no longer fits. Reid shares his path from small-town Canada into triathlon, ultra running, and now a new crossover into gravel racing. Along the way, he opens up about trusting his gut, leaving jobs and sponsorship situations that no longer felt right, and learning how to build a life that is sustainable both mentally and physically. JP and Reid also dive into the darker seasons of life, including burnout, depression, substance use, therapy, and the process of asking for help. They talk about why endurance sport became both survival and healing, why curiosity drives Reid more than comfort, and what makes the Mid South Double such an exciting next chapter. It’s a conversation about resilience, reinvention, and chasing the kind of adventure that still makes you feel alive. https://silca.cc/discount/thestablecyclistpod  or use the code is "StableSilca15" If you’d like to ask JP a question for an upcoming Ask JP Anything episode, send him a DM on instagram @thestablecyclist or send an email to [email protected] The companies supporting JP and this channel: Maplelag Resort - https://www.maplelag.com/ Wark's Cycling Services - https://www.warkscyclingservices.com/ Ignition Coach Co. - https://www.ignitioncoachco.com/  Use code StableCyclist100 Gulo Composites - https://gulocomposites.com/ Flow Formulas - https://flowformulas.com/discount/JOHNPETER15 Wahoo Fitness - https://amzn.to/48RUSqe Owl City Cycles - https://www.owlcitycycles.com The Black Bibs - https://amzn.to/3XRlMtm Dawn to Dusk - https://amzn.to/48zKi8p Some of the above are affiliate links, but all are personally vetted and recommended Mental Health Advocacy - Go4Graham - https://www.go4graham.org/ Resources: 988 Lifeline: https://988lifeline.org/ International Bipolar Foundation: https://ibpf.org/ National Association for Mental Illness: https://www.nami.org/
