Running on Empty is not just a book about running-it's a story of survival, resilience, and rediscovery. After years in the Army, I was certain I'd never run again. The endless PT sessions, forced marches, and punishing routines had left me broken and burnt out. Running was a chore-something to be endured, not enjoyed. But life on the outside brought its own invisible battles. And when nothing else worked, I did the one thing I swore I never would: I ran. What started as an act of desperation became a lifeline. Told with raw honesty, dark humour, and the unfiltered perspective of someone who's been to the edge and clawed their way back, Running on Empty explores how lacing up and hitting the trail can quiet the chaos and reconnect you with who you really are. This isn't a how-to guide. It's a reminder that you don't need to be fast, fit, or even prepared-you just need to move. Whether you're a veteran, or burnt-out from the day to day, or someone searching for something they can't quite name, this book is for you. Because sometimes, the best way to find your way back... is to run straight into the storm.
