Please note: This programme contains discussions about mental health. If you are suffering distress or despair and need support, you could speak to a health professional, or an organisation that offers support. Details of help available in many countries can be found at Befrienders Worldwide. www.befrienders.org

The co-founder of campaigning charity Black Trail Runners, Sabrina Pace-Humphreys tells us how the group was founded as a safe space for people of colour to enjoy the outdoors. Pace-Humphreys recalls the racism she has encountered in running, which included being left for dead in the French Alps.  She also explains how getting into running helped her cope with severe postpartum depression.

Canadian Paralympic shot put champion, Greg Stewart, says his decision to come out of retirement is about more than trying to win a second gold medal in Paris. Stewart tells us he learned a lot about his identity after quitting the sport in 2022.

And – Jack Smith discusses overcoming cancer twice, impending fatherhood and how a rugby accident as a teenager left him paralysed. The Great Britain wheelchair rugby player was part of the squad that made history by winning their first ever Paralympic gold medal at the Tokyo Games.
