About Mind Over Marathon

Mind Over Marathon was a landmark BBC One documentary series presented by Nick Knowles, following ten runners living with mental health challenges as they trained for the London Marathon.

Backed by the Heads Together campaign led by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, the series helped open up a national conversation about depression, anxiety, grief and recovery.

It remains one of Nick's most personal pieces of work - a documentary about the everyday courage it takes to keep going.
