Having assembled a team of first-time marathon runners, who are not only looking to conquer 26.2 miles, but also improve their wellbeing and resilience in the face of adversity, Ant and his team set out to explore whether a marathon mindset can help to improve emotional health. Can Ant successfully mentor the runners, to the finish line and beyond?
