About this episode

Jake Smith is one of Britain's most talented marathon runners but his journey to the top nearly cost him everything. In this episode, Jake opens up about his battle with an eating disorder, the doctor who warned him he'd be in a wheelchair by 30, and how he fought his way back to run 2:09 this September at Berlin Marathon. What a seriously inspiring bloke, a story that carries so much weight. Pleasure chatting to him!
