The Running Ape is built on a simple idea. Real health comes from movement, connection, and choosing adventure even on the days it feels easier to stay still. It’s the steady work of taking one step, then another, letting the miles strip things down until you remember who you are and what you’re capable of.

Ryan coaches from that place. Years of endurance training. Countless hours on trails. Wins, setbacks, breakthroughs, and the quiet miles where everything clicks again. He’s an ultrarunner who knows the sport in his bones, so his coaching leans on lived experience, not theory. He helps athletes train with purpose and stay grounded through the ups and downs of the long haul. Because endurance sport isn’t just something he teaches. It’s something he’s walked through, grown through, and continues to choose every day.
