The Dom Harvey Podcast

Meet my coach, Ian Kostrzewa.  I got him on for this bonus episode to talk about how to return to training (safely) after testing positive for Covid-19.In a nutshell the message is simple- DO WAY LESS THAN YOU THINK YOU SHOULD AND EASE BACK INTO IT SLOWLY. This articles summarizes  how Ian said it should be navigated:  https://www.healthnavigator.org.nz/health-a-z/c/covid-19-positive-exercise/And for more about what Ian does, check out Competitive Edge Sports Science:  http://cesports.co.nz/ Hosted on Acast.

There is so much more to Jeremy Wells than just that RIDICULOUSLY good looking face that we see on TV and Billboards.  As well as holiding down two high profile media roles (a breakfast radio show and a 7pm current affairs show).  Jeremy also finds time to run most days of the week.In this wide ranging conversation we talk about his why- why he started.We chat about  being raised posh, the most troule he got into as a youth, the lowest point in his life, his big break on TV, his co-hosts, cancel culture and why he will never ever go back to Gore.I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and I really hope you do as well.This weeks episode sponsored by Triumph & Disaster:  triumphanddisaster.co.nz  Hosted on Acast.

Rachel was a highly strung investigative journalist.  Her life pivoted when her editor asked her to do a "fish out of water" series of stories where she tried different fitness fads.  This is how she discovered running and fell in love with the marathon disance.Good conversation for any non runners who would like to know where to start.  Also contains traces of real talk about alcohol, depression and relationship break ups (Its not as bleak as it sounds- we also share lots of laughs). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hayden Wilde blew up the internet with his post-race interview in Tokyo after he just won a bronze medal in the triathalon.  In this conversation we discuss everything!  From the experience of losing his dad as a kid to a blow by blow of how he finished 3rd at the Olymic games last year.Warning to non-runners:  There is ALOT of runing chat in this one...but hopefully there is still something for everyone in this conversation.  Hosted on Acast.

Brad Smeele was one of the worlds best wakeboarders.  7 years ago while attempting an insane new trick, he crashed into the ramp and became quadraplegic.  His story is both heartbreaking and inspiring.  Brads resiliance, positivity, wisdom and attitude is mindblowing!

Matt Fenn is a bad-ass mental health advocate.  He does mind-blowing and ridiculous running challenges all with the goal of getting the conversation going about mental health.In 2021 he ran 654km continuously.  Each km represented a New Zealander who lost their life to suicide.We get pretty deep.  If any of it is triggering, feel free to text the legends at Lifeline on this number:  4357  Hosted on Acast.

Ok its time to launch this thing.  Warning:  this podcast is basically just ten minutes of me talking.  What is Runners Only all about?  Why am I doing a podcast about people who run?  When is it launching (Spoiler:  Monday Feb 28, 2022) and who are the first two guests.  If you like the sound of it (or you think you know someone who would) please spread the word.    Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I am so excited about this project I have been working on.  I am also nervous as hell.  I love run chat....but will anyone else?  Also, after 30 great years of breakfast radio, this is something very different I am trying and the fear of failure is huge!  Please subscribe and come along for the ride as we build a community and go from sucking a lot to sucking less.  Thanks,  Dom.
