In this powerful episode of Maybe This Helps, I sit down with Josh (@joshjsa), who’s running 5,656 kilometres in a single year — one kilometre for every life lost to suicide in England in 2023.
Josh opens up about:
Why he chose the charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably)
The mental and physical toll of running nearly 15K every day
How accountability and vulnerability are helping him push through dark moments
The pressure of doing something so big — and what it’s taught him about life, presence, and purpose
We also talk about resilience, rest vs. pushing through, what it actually feels like to run through illness, and how connection with others can make or break your mental health.
Whether you’re a runner, someone who’s struggled, or someone supporting a loved one — this episode is for you.
