The Jordan running push in 2018 was part of a strategy by the late Ciaran O’Lionaird who passed away this week.

Ciaran was an incredible runner, artist, and person.

One of the things I connected most with was his battle with injury and identity as a runner, which he wrote about well.

He took some years off after retiring from pro running to separate himself from the sport, coming back when he found Dromo run crew in Mexico, connecting with TSP in LA. He found a new way to enjoy the sport, separate from his past life as an Olympian and elite miler.
