Race Walker by pure chance, Olympic Bronze & Commonwealth Gold by hard work and determination Dane Bird-Smith knows all to well what it takes to be on top of the world. But now he opens up on how it feels with the weight of the world on you. 

Today we speak to both Kieron (Ultra runner) & Phil ( 6 x IBF World Champion) on the importance of mental resilience withing kids, whilst also discussing Kieron's upcoming race the Wild Earth Ultra Trail 500 and what goes through his head whilst running Ultra Marathons. 

Before we went any further I want to give listeners the chance to understand a little bit about me as a host and why Mental Health is such a big thing to me. 3 - 4 Years ago I never would have gone this in depth with my own feelings nor would I have told anyone anything half of this. 

Today we interview Jake Malby. Jake’s life was saved by running. Now he is about to embark on a physical and mental to challenge to encourage others to speak. We also talk about Jake’s childhood, his battle with depression as well as how he got into running! @forest.goat @lachie_ire IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW NEEDS HELP YOU CAN CALL LIFE LINE ON 13 11 14 or BEYOND BLUE ON 1300 22 4636 OR REACH OUT TO US ON SOCIAL MEDIA AT @runningfromtheshadow

Emotional and mental pain has a stigma, a stigma that we are trying to break. This can only be done if we all create a conversation. Stand up, speak out and most importantly be there for each other. A conversation could more then half that number and that conversation starts here!
