Coach Elisabeth is joined by Kallup McCoy, a running coach, personal trainer, marathoner, Ironman, and founder of RezHOPE, a nonprofit supporting individuals in recovery. Kallup’s incredible story of transformation is a testament to the power of resilience, purpose, and community support.

From battling drug addiction at the age of 11 to completing some of the toughest endurance races in the world, Kallup shares how running and ultra endurance sports helped him overcome personal struggles and find healing.
