Breaking the Cycle - Erika Reyes (Paperback)

Breaking the Cycle: How I Ran My Way to a New Beginning Through Ultrarunning, Resilience, and Self-Belief by Erika Reyes

Part memoir, part quiet pep talk, Breaking the Cycle is for anyone in the middle of a hard season and wondering if they have what it takes to get through it. Erika Reyes traces her own path out of self-doubt and into a new sense of strength, told through the lens of ultrarunning — a sport that demands the same resilience it takes to rebuild a life.

Written for readers who are tired of playing small and ready to break the patterns holding them back, this book offers an honest, grounded perspective on what's possible when you stop underestimating yourself. It's a reminder that endurance — on the trail or off it — is something you build one step at a time, and that no matter how far the road ahead looks, you're more capable than you think.

Perfect for:

• Book clubs interested in memoir, resilience, and personal transformation

• Runners, endurance athletes, and anyone drawn to sports-as-metaphor stories

• Readers going through a season of change who want an honest, encouraging voice
