Tell the Truth and Run - Jim Stalker
Recovery without dogma. Fitness as discipline. Culture that matters. No BS. No paywalls.
About Jim Stalker’s Substack: “Tell the Truth and Run”
I’m a writer and fitness instructor. Sober since 1987. Over 5,000 classes taught. Thirty years in corporate sales with undiagnosed ADHD — which taught me plenty about running and truth-telling.
The name “Tell the Truth and Run” comes from experience: speaking truth often makes people uncomfortable, including yourself. That discomfort is where growth happens.
I write about recovery without religious dogma, fitness as spiritual practice, and the philosophical questions most people avoid.
What you’ll find:
Recovery insights from 38 years of lived experience
Movement as meditation, not vanity metrics
Culture, music, and meaning
No clickbait. No gurus. No BS.
