How does a man who has spent 15 years presenting on national radio breakfast shows find his balance? He runs. Really, really far.

This week on The Green Runners Storytime, Laura chats to the irrepressible Vassos Alexander, sports presenter, author, and veteran of some of the world's toughest ultramarathons.

Vassos shares his captivating philosophy of being a "minimalist maximalist": chasing massive, logic-defying distances (including the legendary 153-mile Spartathlon) while stripping away the noise, the over-complicated gear, and the ego.
