Beyond the Run with Storm Reid 

“Anything that is a cultivator of joy, that’s where I want to be at, and running could very much be one of those things.” - Storm 

In this latest edition of the ongoing Beyond the Run series, we document actress, producer, and future filmmaker Storm Reid’s new journey into running. She shares her goals, her thoughts on mental health, and her perspective on how running can activate your body and mind in ways that might change your life.

Why we run.

It’s a given that running can be good for you, but there’s more to it than physical fitness. We reached out to runners to gain perspective on the less tangible benefits. How does running help you improve your mental well-being, overcome challenges, and become the best version of yourself?
