How running marathons turned a homeless man's life around

Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

Marathon running got Ian Brown back on track after years of depression and homelessness. A road accident, marriage breakdown and homelessness had combined to make him contemplate suicide. But taking up marathon running at 56, helped by the On Your Feet organisation, has brought him a new lease of life.
