Tom Mulchinock: How one runner went from alcoholism to taking on 10 marathons in a year
When Tom Mulchinock left school with little more than an addiction for video games and a 'class clown' nature, he found himself numbing real world pressures with increasingly heavy drinking.
Nights out turned to day drinking - to avoid hangovers it was better to just not stop.It wasn't until he reached 30 that Tom realised he needed to get help.
After seeking therapy and moving to Iceland, Tom started practicing mindfulness, going on walks, listening to podcasts - and running.
