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.

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.
