From Incarceration to Healing Through Running | Casey Vanderhoef & Katy Hall
What does running mean when freedom is taken away?
In this episode of The Ostrich Running Podcast, I sit down with Casey Vanderhoef, a formerly incarcerated runner who helped launch Fit From Within—a prison run club that led to something almost unbelievable… a marathon run inside the prison walls.
Joining Casey is Utah State Representative Katy Hall, a 12-time Ironman triathlete and the mentor who helped make this movement possible.
Together, we talk about the healing power of running, the discipline it creates when excuses disappear, and the kind of community that can form in places most people never think about.
This isn’t a political episode. It’s not a highlight reel. It’s a conversation about suffering, resilience, second chances, and what happens when one person chooses to say yes.
If you’ve ever needed proof that running can change a life—this is it.
