John Robins

Rob is out in the country with John Robins, who's running the London Marathon for Standing Together Against Domestic Abuse. Featuring managing marathon training on a shonky ankle, the mental health benefits of running in the woods and the hills (the Chilterns in this case), recovering from addiction and how running and exercise fits into that - not to mention therapy and meditation - and ultimately owning the more uncomfortable moments in running, and in life.
