Ben shares how running helped transform his life and provided a way for him to find happiness and greatly improve not only his physical but his mental health too. We’ll chat about some of the hardest parts of the challenge, the annoying injuries, his secret rice and chicken post-race fuel, the people he met and the lessons he learned.
