Ardent Run Club: Episode 46 - Andy Ball - Running and Mental Health

On this episode, Tomi speaks with Andy Ball - a member of Elswick Harriers, who runs 5k to half marathons.

Andy shares his running journey; what got him into it and how he has progressed. He talks about how his half marathons especially have improved and what sort of training he has done to see these results.

Andy is very big on not putting pressure on himself and he shares his goal setting strategy, offering another perspective on how to see goals and improvement.

Beyond the physical aspect of running, though, Andy has a very big passion for the mental side of it - mindset and mental health. He shares his thoughts on why athletes should care more about mental health and what clubs and club members who don't struggle so much with mental health can do to look out for those who do struggle with it.

Andy has a big focus on removing the stigma of mental health, so that people can come forward without worrying about how they sound and confidently, knowing they can get help.

Lots to think about in today's episode.

We hope you learn something, we hope you get inspired and we hope you Find Your Fire
