Back to EpisodesEp 7: Chronic Injuries and Open-Heart Surgery... Didn't Stop This Legend | Andy Reddiex
Description
Some runners live for data. Andy Reddiex isn’t one of them.
The chicken-breeding, surfing, DIY-loving accountant has battled abdominal injuries, ankle problems, and even heart surgery; yet somehow keeps running with quiet determination and minimal fanfare. Not on Strava, not chasing medals, just running for the love of it.
In this grounded and inspiring episode of Runbelievable, Joshie and Matty sit down with Andy to talk about resilience, perspective, and how running fits around a full life... not the other way around.
In this episode:
- Overcoming complex foot/ankle injuries
- Returning to running after heart surgery
- Finding purpose beyond Strava and PBs
- Balancing work, projects, and training
- Why sometimes running less can mean living more
Runbelievable: real runners, unreal stories.
