What happens when the community you're searching for doesn't exist? You create it yourself. That's exactly what Sasha Wolff did when she founded Still I Run, a nonprofit dedicated to raising mental health awareness, breaking down stigma, and bringing people together through running.

In this episode of Wired To Run we're joined by Sasha for an honest and meaningful conversation about her personal journey with mental health, the role running played in her life, and the deeper purpose behind creating Still I Run.

After struggling with her own mental health, Sasha went looking for a running community where people could openly talk about their experiences with anxiety, depression, and mental health challenges. When she couldn't find one, she took a courageous step and decided to build it herself.

Sometimes the most meaningful part of running isn’t the miles we cover, but the connections we make along the way. We explore the connection between running and mental health, the importance of finding people who understand your experiences, and why community can be so powerful. We also discuss how anxiety and depression can coexist with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence, and why conversations about mental health belong in the running community.

Through Still I Run, Sasha is helping change the conversation around mental health while reminding runners that they don't have to navigate their challenges alone. Whether you're a longtime runner, just getting started, navigating mental health challenges, or looking for a community where you belong, this conversation is for you. Still I Run is a national nonprofit that works to promote the benefits of running for mental health and wellness.

We kick off the episode with some road tripping adventures and a quick recap of Disney’s 2026 Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend.

What happens when you bring two breast cancer survivors, two runners, and a whole lot of honesty into one conversation? You get an episode that goes well beyond pink ribbons and finish lines.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we're turning the mic over to two women who have plenty to say about life beyond a breast cancer diagnosis.

Meet Roxanne and Stephanie. They're runners, friends, breast cancer warriors and two strong women who aren't afraid to get real about what they've been through.

In this episode of Wired To Run, we're skipping the polished inspirational speeches and getting into the stuff that doesn't always make it into conversations about cancer. The unexpected challenges, the changes nobody prepares you for, the moments that make you laugh and what it really means to navigate life after breast cancer.

We're talking running, resilience, mental health, self-advocacy, and how these experiences can change the way you see yourself and the world around you. Plus, Stephanie brings another layer to the conversation as a fellow ADHDer.

And while October puts breast cancer awareness in the spotlight, Roxanne and Stephanie remind us that the conversations, challenges, and need for support don't magically end on November 1st. Because there's a whole lot more to these women than a diagnosis, a race bib, or a finish line.

What happens when two married runners throw a bunch of running questions they’ve never dreamed to ask each other into a shoebox… and agree to honestly answer whatever gets pulled out?

You get Episode 23 Off The Record: Running Questions We’ve Never Asked Each Other.

This week, we ditched the usual format, filled a running shoebox with candid questions our friend put together, and took turns pulling them at random. Some were hilarious. Some were completely unexpected and some got way more personal than we thought they would.

And a few had us wondering why we ever agreed to answer these things out loud.

We talk about running, racing, marriage, pet peeves, the things we’ve learned about each other through this sport, and a few confessions we definitely did not see coming. Come along with us for this wild ride!
