## Resource

This week on the Built For Life podcast Ben Shephard and Andrew Tracey are joined by Paul 'The Warrior Walker' Harris, who explains how something as simple as walking became the foundation for rebuilding his life. After a mental health crisis left him lost and struggling, the former Royal Marine set out to walk the UK coastline with no plan and just £300. He didn’t just finish it – he did it twice, covering over 20,000km. A powerful conversation on mental health, resilience, and why more of us need to get out and walk. Want more from Men’s Health?
