Ryan Lyesiuk, 40, is an avid marathon runner. Rather than running for better health, Lyesiuk runs for pure enjoyment. It all started at a young age, he says, running in the summer with his brother as his brother trained for the upcoming football season. From then on it slowly became a major part of his life.

After a break during the college years from age 20 to 25, Lyesiuk started running competitively at the age of 30. The 2011 Manchester City Marathon was his first marathon.
“Besides feeling exhausted, I felt really accomplished,” said Lyesiuk.
In 2014, he completed the Baystate Marathon, finishing 26.2 miles in 2 hours and 54 minutes.
Lyesiuk ran the Baystate Marathon again in Lowell on Oct. 20, his first full marathon in 5 years.
