Jamie Prokell is the Creative Director of Men's Health Magazine.

He's also a father, a husband, and a middle-aged man who, at 45, felt like he was being left behind in terms of his health and fitness.

In this episode, we learn how Jamie's eldest daughter running a 5k prompted him to start on his own running journey (and failing terribly), but how his persistence took him all the way to the New York Marathon and beyond.

Our conversation takes a wonderful twist from the physical benefits and positive changes that running can have on your life into mental health, the strange things that happen in your head whilst on a long run, and how Jamie's running brought him closer to his recently deceased father.
