But despite all this she managed to run a Guiness World Record at the 2023 London Marathon. We discuss what running means to Adele and how it has helped her through these difficult times as well as her new book “Personal Best”.

In this episode we chat with Colin Jackson. He's an Olympic silver medalist, two time world champion, and was undefeated at the European Championships for 12 years but that's not why we wanted to talk to him. It was his adjustment to life after athletics and his battles with panic attacks that we felt was a story that people needed to hear.

Topics that we discuss in this episode:

Anxiety
