The Enemy is Complacency - Comedian, Presenter and Runner Paul Tonkinson

Our guest this week is Paul Tonkinson, a stand-up comedian, radio presenter and a tv personality. He’s been in the limelight for nearly 35 years and performed worldwide with some of the top stars. He's also a runner and has written two books on the subject. 26.2 Miles to Happiness(he's run a marathon in under 3 hours) and Running through Sand, the latter about taking part in one of the world's most famous ultra races - the Marathon Des Sables(MDS). Paul shares his experiences on the stage and there's a great chat about the deep connection between humour and resillience. We discus running as therapy, moving out of the comfort zone and we hear about performing to the troops overseas in the most harrowing of circumstances. Thanks for listening.
