Major Sam McGrath; from paratrooper to ultrarunner

With his new book 'Be Para Fit' released soon, we're joined in the studio by Major Sam McGrath, a former paratrooper who since leaving the Army has run a number of high-profile ultramarathons, whilst balancing life as a dad of four and working in banking in Singapore. His book explains how the power of running has a way to transform your mindset and allow you achieve far more than you thought possible.
