In this episode we catch up with runner, athlete and 401 foundation founder Ben Smith ahead of his USA 2020 challenge. Starting in April, Ben plans to run a marathon in each of the 50 US state capitals, cycling between each one. It will be a journey totalling 14,000 miles and he plans to do it in just 104 days. Along the way Ben is aiming to raise £1m to support mental health related charities both in the UK and the US, and wants to raise the awareness of the positive effects that physical activity can have on mental wellbeing as well as inspire and challenge individuals to achieve things they never thought were possible. We spoke with ben about how his training is going, and how the logistics are shaping up with only a couple of months to go.
