In this powerful episode of Runnah, I sit down with Matt Carroll—a Navy veteran, recovered alcoholic, and passionate leader in the Cape Cod running and recovery communities.

Matt opens up about his journey through addiction, recovery, and reintegration after military service. Through programs like Heroes in Transition (HIT), WellStrong, and Spaulding Rehab’s Adaptive Sports and Veteran Programs, Matt has transformed his life and now helps others do the same.We talk about:His experience in Ruck4HIT—a team-based endurance challenge to support veterans.The power of physical movement in sobriety and healing.

Why spaces like WellStrong, a fitness and wellness community for people in recovery, are essential.

The role of Spaulding Rehab’s Adaptive Sports programs in helping veterans rediscover strength and joy through activity.

How community, connection, and movement can change lives.

This episode is a tribute to resilience, purpose, and the incredible strength that comes from service—to others and to yourself. If you're a runner, veteran, in recovery, or someone who believes in the power of community, this one's for you.💛
