Mikkipedia Dom Harvey - For the love of running
This week on the podcast Mikki talks to Dom Harvey, podcaster, former radio DJ, avid runner about how running has transformed his life through some of his more challenging times. Dom is such a great personality and we talk on a range of topics in this podcast, including his training, his time on early morning radio at The Edge, his move away and now as a podcaster, his fertility challenges and how this impacted him. Importantly, as a runner, he shares his love of running. Something that we have in common. Usually Dom’s the one asking the questions, so it was a great opportunity to have him on the other side of the mic.
Dom Harvey is a broadcaster, writer and runner.
He was the host of nationwide The Edge breakfast show from 2001 to 2021.
He has written three best seller books including Running a Love story which we discuss here. Career highlights include winning the Sir Paul Holmes Award for NZ broadcaster of the year.
Outside of radio, he is passionate about running. He has run all 6 of the world marathon majors (New York, Chicago, Tokyo, Berlin, London and Boston).
His best time for the marathon was a sub 3 hour marathon in Tokyo where he ran in 2.57. He wrote about his quest to run a sub 3 hour marathon in his book Running: A love story.
In 2018 he ran five marathons in five days and in the process him and his friends at The Edge raised $250,000 so a young girl could get cancer treatment in Barcelona. That effort earned him a Kiwi bank NZ Local Hero award and also an Outstanding contribution to radio award.
