The Other Side - The One with Ben Smith

The Other Side is the 成人快手's first and only show dedicated to LGBTQ+ individuals and groups in sport, shining a spotlight on under-reported stories and showing the sport is a place where everyone belongs.

Today's guest is the incredible Ben Smith - the man who ran 401 marathons in 401 days, and raised more than 拢250,000 for good causes in the process. He's been talking to me about why he started running; about coming to terms with his sexuality; about the 401 Challenge itself; and about The 401 Foundation, which builds on the legacy of the original challenge.

Got a story we should be talking about? Why not get in touch by emailing jack.murley@bbc.co.uk, or Tweeting @jack_murley. And if you've enjoyed the programme, why not share it on social media, so more people can hear it as well.
