You keep telling yourself this time will be different.
You’ll finally stay consistent.
Finally follow through.
Finally break the cycle.
Finally become the person you know you’re capable of becoming.
But somehow, you keep ending up back in the same place.
The same fear.
The same frustration.
The same self-doubt.
The same patterns.
The same outcomes.
You push harder. Stay busy. Keep trying to “fix” yourself.
And after a while, it starts to feel exhausting carrying the weight of potential you haven’t fully stepped into yet.
Running in Circles will help you understand why.


In this powerful upcoming book, coach, speaker, and Ironman athlete Chris Camp reveals the hidden loop behind your decisions, actions, and results—and why lasting change doesn’t begin with working harder. It begins with changing the way you see yourself, your setbacks, and what’s actually possible for your life.
Through honest stories, practical insight, and a framework you can apply immediately, you’ll learn how to:
recognize the patterns keeping you stuck
stop repeating cycles that sabotage your progress
rebuild confidence and momentum
make better decisions with clarity and purpose
and finally create different outcomes in your life
You are not stuck because you’re incapable.
You’re stuck because you’ve been running in circles around the same loop.
And once you see it, you can change it.

Chris Camp is a coach, speaker, endurance athlete, and lifelong encourager who has spent decades helping people push past limits, overcome adversity, and discover what they’re truly capable of. Raised in the small town of Walls, Mississippi, Chris built a life marked by resilience, service, and leadership—from serving in the United States Air Force and deploying to Saudi Arabia during Operation Freedom, to building a career in fire and EMS with the Memphis Fire Department’s Special Operations Rescue Team. After retiring due to multiple shoulder injuries and surgeries, he transitioned into education, earning advanced degrees while teaching and mentoring the next generation as a college professor in EMS and leadership.
For more than 30 years, Chris has coached athletes of all ages, from tee-ball to competitive sports, while continuing to challenge himself physically through 33 marathons, ultra-marathons, and Ironman competition alongside his wife, Alicia. But more than titles or accomplishments, Chris is passionate about helping people break free from the cycles that keep them stuck. Through his speaking, podcast, coaching, and upcoming book Running in Circles, he shares practical encouragement, powerful perspective shifts, and real-life lessons designed to help people stop repeating the same patterns and start building lives filled with purpose, momentum, hope, and lasting change.
