Three-time Olympic middle distance runner and mental health advocate
“Running in Silence is not just about eating disorders and recovery—it’s a book that incorporates questions to help others begin dealing with their behaviors. Steil reveals the courage it takes to go to a place of pain and find the strength to heal. She breaks free on her own terms and shows the reader how to do the same. It’s a helpful book for anyone, especially to educate parents, coaches, and athletes.”
Donna Messina

“It’s easy to connect with Rachel as she speaks candidly about her eating disorder. Her openness and ability to bring humor to a very serious issue allows her to be approachable by those that seek help and understanding with their own personal eating disorder battles.”

"I have no idea what’s next. But I do know I’m not alone in these struggles. For those who need to hear it: You are worth it. Your mind and body are worth nourishing. I’m glad you’re here."
