  • 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.

Expected something different

I was thinking this would be a good listen but it was disappointing and I stopped after the 2nd podcast. Too personalized on the individuals, not the key message or learning and finally too slow.

Horrible

The accents are heavy so it is difficult to understand the people at times. The program started in the middle of something and we as the reader have to figure out what. I was bored quite quickly and stopped reading.
