90 Miles, 12 Marathons and a Bigger Purpose: Nathan Hinckley on Men’s Mental Health

At just 21, Nathan Hinckley has already pushed himself further than most of us would ever contemplate, including running around 90 miles in 24 hours and completing 12 marathons in 12 days.But this episode of Inspired Men Talk is about much more than running.Nathan joins Gary Johannes and Peter to talk openly about being bullied over his weight, rejection from football, drinking and partying, and the moment that ultimately led him to discover running and change the direction of his life.Nathan explains how his motivation has changed from wanting to prove himself to other people to wanting to discover just how far he can go and how taking on extraordinary physical challenges has helped him build confidence, find purpose and raise awareness around men’s mental health.He also shares the story behind his 12 Marathons of Christmas, which raised almost £8,000 for the Young Lives Foundation, helping support young people in his local community.It’s a fascinating conversation about rejection, resilience, motivation, mental health, fitness and purpose  and a reminder that you don't need to run an ultramarathon to start making a positive change.How far could you go if you stopped trying to prove yourself to other people and started doing it for yourself?
