About this listen

Training your body for a marathon is tough. Training your mind is even harder.

Unless you have Ant Middleton as your mentor....

The former special forces soldier, and star of SAS: Who Dares Wins, has recruited five first-time Virgin Money London Marathon runners who have recently faced-up to a variety of mental health challenges.

Supported by elite marathon runner Mara Yamauchi and sports psychologist Dr Josephine Perry, Ant is on hand to help them battle through their self-doubt, anxiety and fears, can they overcome their psychological barriers to reach the finish line?

A TBI Media production for Audible Originals.

If you or someone you know is affected by any of the issues mentioned in this podcast, please contact the Samaritans on 116 123.

October 9th 2020 Update: Recorded in the run-up to the Virgin Money London Marathon, with a final episode recorded after the postponed event in October 2020, all seven episodes are now available.
