Summary

Tighten your shoelaces and brace yourselves! Today we’re joined by British Adventurer, Writer and TV Personality - Ant Middleton. Ant is best known for being the Chief Instructor on the popular Channel 4 Series SAS Who Dares Wins. He's a former Soldier and Marine, and at the age of 42 has become a master of mental fitness, resilience and fear. He’s climbed Mount Everest and K2, and one of his favourite ways to clear the mind and set himself up for the day is by going for a run. So leave your can’t be bothered attitude at the door, save your digestive biscuits for another day, and prepare yourself for the motivational boost that you need.
