As voters across the UK go to the polls, we take the pulse of the ways a potential Labour government could change the energy landscape. Kier Starmer is committed to a clean power system by 2030, rather than maxing out gas and oil output. Whilst the right-wing Reform looks set to opt for a “burn baby, burn” policy, what are Labours other plans. Listen to a discussion with Regen CEO Merlin Hyman and Montel's Phil Hewitt on the possible future energy trading arrangements between the UK and the EU. Host: Richard Sverrisson, Editor-in-Chief, MontelGuests: Merlin Hyman, CEO, Regen; Phil Hewitt, Director, Montel Analytics

Phil Hewitt (UK runner, author and journalist) woke up to a sunny morning in Cape Town, South Africa and a day filled with his favourite sport, cricket.  He was thrilled to have got tickets and make the journey.  But by the end of the day, Phil's life had changed forever.  A decision to walk back to the city on his own led to a near-fatal knife attack, his life miraculously saved by a passing pizza delivery man.Returning back to the UK, it became clear that Phil was suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).  How could he get back some control and heal his shattered spirit, overcome the sense of helplessness and the panic attacks?  By leaning in to his love of running.  Putting one foot in front of the other, step by step, moving forward, the healing journey began. He decided to share his experience and the learning by writing a book called Outrunning the Demons (Bloomsbury).  In it, his story is one of 35 true life accounts of how people have healed themselves through running after suffering trauma.  It's an inspiring collection.  Does he wish that day in Cape Town had not happened?  His reply is a surprising "no".  On the contrary, it has enriched his life, and he explains why.Find Phil: Twitter @marathon_addict

Meet Paul Shepherd everyone. A guy who has been through the darkest times with depression, alcohol and drugs but lived through it, a guy who is facing his demons and telling his story. After feeling three years ago like there was no other option in his life other than to end it, Paul has come a long way. He’d been struggling with a lifestyle in which he was constantly exhausted with night shifts and medicating with alcohol and drugs, and one January night in 2017 he waded into the freezing British sea with the intention never to return. Paul’s story was featured in Outrunning the Demons, the collection of survival stories by former podcast guest Phil Hewitt. Paul’s now a running mentor for the incredible charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) and is determined to help others feel there is another option out there, that they can feel connected to the world again. In the UK every day 12 men under the age of 45 take their own lives – a truly shocking statistic. If you know anyone who you suspect might be struggling hard, ask questions, be there regularly and share the work of CALM. Please share this episode too and check out Paul’s hashtag #someonecares.

In this episode you'll meet Phil Hewitt. Phil is a journalist, marathon runner and author (11 books and counting!) living in Hampshire. In 2016 he suffered a sudden and violent attack in South Africa. His life was nearly taken by the perpetrator, yet saved by a stranger. He struggled to come to terms with the tidal wave of trauma in the months after, his mind awash with unanswered questions and unable to sleep. Over time he has started to process this trauma and begin to accept, managing to transform parts of the experience into gifts that have expanded his consciousness, relationships and connection with others. Running has played a starring role in his recovery and he recently wrote an inspirational book - Outrunning the Demons - which draws together a collection of stories from others who have been through traumas and found healing through running, as well as his own account. Phil is living proof that we don’t know how strong we are until we have to go through something like this, and we can face our internal demons without hating humanity. Please share Phil's story with anyone in your life who may have been through a trauma. A quick warning that this episode includes a description of violence.

Outrunning the Demons with Phil Hewitt “Even when you have gone as far as you can, and everything hurts, and you are staring at the specter of self-doubt, you can find a bit more strength deep inside you, if you look closely enough.” Hal Higdon In this episode, I chat with Phil Hewitt about his journey of transforming his life through the power of running. After being viciously mugged in 2016 and left for dead and then suffering the acute symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, Phil found that dedicating himself to running was the healing path forward. As Phil suggests, running can take us to fantastic places and bring us back from terrible places. Enjoy this conversation on how running can help change lives.

SUMMARY British journalist and marathon addict Phil Hewitt extols the multiple virtues of running in his newly published book, Outrunning the Demons: Lives Transformed Through Running. His “celebratory exploration” of running includes 34 compelling true stories from runners around the world whose reasons run the range from overcoming trauma to honoring the death of a loved one. In each story, Hewitt champions the power of running to steady a life rife with trouble and trauma or to simply help access joy and exhilaration. Every story is proof positive that running provides power to outrun demons, transform lives, and unlock resilience needed to face life’s everyday challenges. Even more, “running can so often be the answer to everything when we find ourselves in extremis.” Whether heartwarming or heartbreaking, the stories in the book inspire us to believe in the transformative power of running. After attending a cricket championship in South Africa, Hewitt is brutally mugged walking through Cape Town and, as a result, suffers severe PTSD. Even when his physical wounds heal, Hewitt’s emotional and mental wounds beleaguer him until he returns to running.   “Outrunning the demons” can mean leaving them behind OR, more often, finding a way to live with them. The universal appeal of running may lie in its ability to transport us back to the present moment (like mindfulness). Running can feel like a sacred experience, giving yourself time and space to process. The National Health Service in England is increasingly recommending running as better than low-level antidepressants. Running can restore a sense of control, power, and reconnection. Camaraderie is a powerful pull for runners. The sport of running can be either solitary or social—or both! “parkruns” – (started in London and now wildly popular in England and Australia) allow people to simply show up at a park or green space to run a few miles without paying a fee Running can give us a safe place to grieve. Many healed and strengthened through running have formed nonprofit organizations to help others. Men tend to bottle up feelings, causing them to become subject to staggering suicide statistics. Rapper “Professor Green” writes a song about the terrible effects of his father committing suicide. QUOTES FROM HEWITT “Something lifted, something just cut through the total mess in my mind…[that] I sensed the power of running.” “Being able to come back [from a run] physically tired was bliss—absolute bliss!” “Running to me seems to be such a terrific answer to trauma…that horrible past is like this endlessly rerunning, constantly replaying present, and running is one of the things cuts through that.” “Since the trauma, I’ve stopped running to music. [Now,] when I run, I just want to attune to the surroundings, to just look at the trees, smell the roses, be present in the moment.” “I love being part of a pack at the start of a race. You don’t know all these people…but in that race you are united in a really profound, spiritual, uplifting way.” “People who’ve been to hell discover that the quickest, surest, safest way back is to run.” “If you’re firmly in the mid-pack where I am, there is a terrific camaraderie—a great ‘looking after’ [each other.]” “Ever since what happened to me, I’ve become terribly un-British. I don’t remotely have a stiff upper lip now. I talk about my emotions and struggle to stop talking about them!” 30:00 ish “It’s all about awareness that it’s OK not to be OK.” “Running is a privilege. Obviously, it’s not something that everyone can do. But if you’re fortunate enough to do it, you might just find that running is potentially a big part of the solution to whatever you’re going through.”  BUY Outrunning the Demons: Lives Transformed through Running RECOMMENDATION: A book for beginning runners as well as those aspiring to qualify for the Boston Marathon BUY Galloway's Book on Running Connect with us on social media!
