In this episode, we talk to Rhys King, aka the Heavy Mental Runner. Rhys is no stranger to podcasting, having previously recorded the Heavy Mental Podcast with his wife for several years, a show dedicated to normalising mental health discussions.

Those who know Run Riot know we don’t just say ‘Running is Release’, we mean it, and we live by it. For us, running is so much more than times and distances, but a positive way to support mental wellbeing. We talk to Rhys about how he uses running to help manage the everyday ups and downs of life, as well as his ADHD. We also cover addiction, heavy metal, and a lot more!

Most important, we talk about Rhys’ mammoth Blink 182-related running challenge coming up in November, and the very personal motivation for raising money for Maggie’s Swansea. If you’d like to donate, please do so on Rhys’ fundraising page here.
