Protein Rebel Running Festival Interview Series – Episode 1: Helen Ryvar

Back in June 2025, Rob and Ben had the chance to sit down at the Protein Rebel Running Festival and record a series of special conversations with five truly extraordinary and inspiring people from the running community.

For reasons Rob still can’t fully explain… he’s been sitting on these interviews ever since. But the wait is finally over — and we’re excited to start releasing them.

First up is Helen Ryvar.

Helen’s story is one of resilience, determination, and the kind of mindset that reminds you why running is about so much more than pace or distance. In this conversation, Helen shares her journey, her challenges, and what keeps her showing up — not just as a runner, but as a person who inspires those around her.

This is the first episode in our Protein Rebel Festival Interview Series, and it’s the perfect way to kick things off: honest, uplifting, and full of the community spirit that makes events like this so special.

Whether you were at the festival or hearing about it for the first time, you won’t want to miss this one.
