Episode description
This week on the UKRunChat Podcast, we speak with adventurer & mental health advocate Alex Staniforth about his most ambitious challenge yet – climbing all 446 mountains in England & Wales in just 50 days. 🏔️
But this episode is more than a challenge breakdown – it's about why Alex does what he does, how he overcame personal struggles, and how he's turning endurance into impact through his charity, Mind Over Mountains.
Alex is a survivor of two Mount Everest disasters which have given Alex a unique perspective on success and failure, and a new purpose to inspire others and leave something bigger behind.
