This week on Runnah, I’m sitting down with Melissa Lonergan — a recovery coach, a deeply positive force in the Falmouth running community, and someone who is truly committed to creating good, right now.

Melissa shares her running journey and how movement has become a place where she gets to be fully herself — not just as a runner, but as a person in recovery. We talk about sobriety, showing up honestly, and what it means to help create a safe, supportive, and protective space within a community that doesn’t always talk openly about these things.

This conversation is about more than miles or races. It’s about using running as a grounding tool, a connector, and a way to move through life with intention. Melissa also opens up about her goals with running, how recovery has shaped them, and why community care matters just as much as personal progress.

If you’ve ever felt like running gave you a place to breathe, belong, or start over — this one’s for you.
