Men’s mental health: ‘I felt like you have to be 100% all the time’

Jake Burnham, a personal trainer from Bristol, hopes to break the stigma around men sharing their emotions.

He did 30 marathons in 30 days and invited anyone to join him on the way to talk about mental health.

He has faced his own mental health battles.

Speaking to 5 Live’s Tony Livesey, he said: “I've always felt that I couldn't talk about the things that were going on.â€

“I was forced to deal with these issues on the running because I had four and a half to six hours of time just in my own head.â€

His next challenge will be 100 marathons in 100 days.
