In 2006 I made the 800m final at the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Moscow. A year later I quit the sport for rock and roll. I was only 24 years old. I lost my way and put on weight over a 12 year period of boozing and rocking. In 2019 I decided something had to change, so I started running again. 5 stone later I ran a 34 minute 10km and I feel better than ever. Here is my story via the Megabus to the Ritz - your weekly night time commute to a better version of yourself.

I didn't expect to do an episode like this after all the jubilation of last weeks 27 mile run, but it's been a tough week for me mentally. I spent a lot of time battling with negative thoughts and emotions, and running has helped pull me through it once again. It's time now to look ahead at the Llanelli Half Marathon on Sunday and worry about which way my hat needs to be facing on the day.
