Enduring Minds | Sobriety, Sport, and Self-Worth With Guest Loehr Young

What happens when endurance sport becomes more than just exercise? In this powerful episode of Enduring Minds, presented by Run Tri Bike, hosts Jason Bahamundi and Evan Burch talk with Loehr Young, an endurance athlete who shares his raw story of overcoming alcoholism and reclaiming his life through movement and mindset.

Loehr, now 8 years sober, didn’t follow a traditional recovery path. Instead, he created the “4% philosophy” dedicating just one hour (4% of his day) to physical activity. That consistent movement became his anchor for mental health, clarity, and self-worth.

From supporting his wife through cancer to managing grief and imposter syndrome, Loehr leans on a mantra of “relentless forward motion” and prioritizes joy over metrics. No power meters. No ego. Just presence and purpose.

This episode breaks the silence around men’s mental health, addiction, and the healing power of endurance sports. Whether you're struggling, recovering, or seeking motivation for your next workout, this is the episode you need.
