Henry Holme joins Mick Coyle for this week's edition of Mental Health Monday. Mick is away this week, but wanted to give you chance to catch up on a story from a week or so ago. Four lads set off from James' Place in Liverpool in early July with the intention of running 240 miles over 8 days, all to raise money for the men's suicide prevention centre and their new project in London. Lead runner Henry lost his dad to suicide in 2012, and shares his story on this week's programme. Henry, Andrew, Conor and Chris (we're pleased to say) completed the run a few days after Mick had this chat) Details for the fundraising can be found here: https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-display/showROFundraiserPage?userUrl=theworldrun&pageUrl=3 Follow @MrMickCoyle on Twitter.

What is it like to participate in the world’s toughest ski race? Would you be up for the challenge? Listen in as I tell you all about it and take you through the journey! Who knows? The Arctic Circle Race just might be the next extreme adventure you’re looking for! Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/podcasts-blog for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: The Arctic Circle Race and why we did it How we prepared for the race My thoughts on the journey What the experience was like Key Takeaways: Both mental and physical endurance are very much needed to take on this kind of challenge. Incredibly powerful things happen when you push yourself into your discomfort zone. You don’t have to go as big as we’ve gone with The Arctic Circle Race, it might be learning an instrument, going online dating, learning a new language, or playing a sport. Taking on a challenge and achieving something is good for your confidence and your resilience. You get a bit more comfortable in very uncomfortable situations. You feel a little more comfortable with unpredictability, and life is unpredictable. A key part of resilience is not your toughness. It’s not what you can endure. It’s more around if you have the tools to cope with the various things that life throws at you and the emotional bandwidth to deal with them. Action Steps: If you are doing a fundraising event, set a really big target and don’t be afraid to ask people to support you. Do something that takes you into your discomfort zone. Have a think about what that thing might be and make sure it’s the appropriate level of challenge at the appropriate time. Leanne said: “[The Arctic Circle Race] is absolutely brutal. It’s the most extraordinary challenge. It’s more like the world’s toughest herring boning and walking race with bits of skiing.” “If you feel that life is pretty smooth and you want to test yourself in some way, then start to look at what you can do. Kick some ideas around.” Thanks for listening! If you want to ask any questions about this, give any feedback, or perhaps kick out some suggestions for future events that we could do or that you’re thinking of doing, we’d love to hear from you!

"No one thinks they'll get cancer...especially not at 33. It really does not fit in with life as a working mum of two under 5's, but I did it and sadly there is no big medal given for completing treatment - so off I go in search of something that will" Rebekah shares her incredible story of battling breast cancer and now being just weeks away from running her first ever marathon, less than 12 months after completing radiotherapy.

What does it mean to be a business athlete? And what is the “energy jar”? Take a listen and find out how these concepts can apply to you. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/podcasts-blog for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: The concept of the “energy jar” What it means to be a “business athlete” How I’ve been preparing for the Arctic Circle Race Key Takeaways: The energy jar is a metaphor for the amount of energy that we have in our body. Our energy is a finite resource. The energy we have in our body is just in one place. We haven’t got separate pockets of energy that we can distribute or dip into. We need to see ourselves as business athletes. Action Steps: Take a look at your schedule, understand what are the peak points for you, and then figure out how you can get yourself fit so you can be in your prime when that peak time comes. After that peak period, take a little bit of time off and start to do more fun, relaxing things. Do lots of active rest. Don’t hit the gym as hard, and let your body recover. Learn to adapt your schedule according to how you’re feeling. Leanne said: “Why so many of us are falling out of love with life, why many of us are experiencing chronic stress, many of us are experiencing burnout, and that’s simply because we are not planning and pacing ourselves.” “If you start to think of yourself as a business athlete, then I think you’re going to start looking at things in a more intelligent way.” Thanks for listening!

"That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run." - Forrest Gump I'm extremely excited to welcome Rob Pope, the real life Forrest Gump, to this week's show! Over the last few years, Rob has taken on the EPIC challenge of recreating Forrest Gump's famous run. Over 15,000 miles across the United States 5 times, he tested the limits of his own endurance and experienced the U.S. to the absolute fullest. Over his year and a half adventure he experienced highs and lows, received major support from strangers along the way, and ran through some of the most iconic places in the country. The human connections he made, along with the places he explored were life changing. Completing the challenge was absolutely unprecedented. Today's episode is all about this INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE. Rob shares how one of his last conversations with his mother about "Doing one thing that makes a difference in this world" inspired this challenge. He also chats about the adventures he had along the way, along with the obstacles he had to overcome (including a torn quadricep..yikes!). We also talk a lot about one of my favorite subjects....Tom Hanks! Please check out Rob's website. He would love your help supporting two excellent charities- Peace Direct and World Wildlife Fund. Enjoy!!
