October 2021. League Finals.
Our 15-year-old son Justus gave everything he had…
and crossed the finish line last.
The car ride home was silent.
Then he said quietly:
"I will become a champion… whatever it takes."
And suddenly we realized something:
We didn’t know how to help him.
So we started learning everything we could about running, recovery, mindset, and belief.
But something unexpected happened.
Running didn’t just change our son.
It changed us.
And that journey became RunnerParent.
