Running looks different for both Sydney Cassidy and Lara Sullivan, but the outcome is the same; it’s helped them better understand their minds. For Sydney, diagnosed with ADHD, it slows her racing thoughts and offers emotional regulation. For Lara, diagnosed with autism, the rhythm provides calm and clarity before sensory overload sets in. Together, they share how movement helps them manage their mental health.
If you’re looking to add a little adventure to your training, reconnect with nature, or just try something new, trail running might be the easiest upgrade you’ll ever make. And who knows? That next climb might just be the moment you fall in love with it.
For autistic people, inertia is the difficulty to start, stop, or switch tasks which can feel like an invisible roadblock. After her autism diagnosis, Lara Sullivan began to understand that her struggle to “get going” wasn’t laziness, but a neurological reality tied to executive functioning. Lara reflects on how this understanding has reshaped her relationship with running.
