The Dom Harvey Podcast

In June 2023 Sam Harvey from Christchurch came painfully close to breaking the world record for ultra distance running, after running pretty much non-stop for more than four days.Sam ran for 101 hours and covered 677km at an event in Queensland. His heart and mind are so unbreakable that he was FORCED by organizers to pull out of the race after he fell over and collapsed on the course.Sam is a fascinating guy with an unbreakable mindset so this episode is so much more than a podcast about running.For most listeners, as well as getting to know a bit more about this average ordinary guy who is on a mission to redefine what the human mind and body is capable of, most of us will get to learn a bit more about the fringe running events known as backyard ultras.To learn more about CurraNZ (the exceptional black currant supplement that Sam and I talk about) you can check them out here:https://curranz.co.nz/Use the code DOM for 20% discount on CurraNZ Original 30sThanks to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode.I know I’m supposed to say how much I like them because of our professional arrangement, but I genuinely was a fan of their products even before they approached me to sponsor the podcast.

Arch Jelley is one of New Zealand’s greatest running coaches. He coached the great John Walker through his entire career and all the highlights that entailed including an Olympic goldmedal in 1976 and 3 Commonwealth Games medals, over 100 sub 4 minute miles and the first man to run a mile in under 3.50.But this podcast has very little to do with running. I met Arch last year when he was 99 when we recorded a podcast and we have remained in touch since then. On the week of this podcast being released, Arch turns 101. So, I invited him back for a podcast where I would put YOUR questions to him. Arch is still in tremendous health, physically and mentally, so this was a real treat- it’s not often you get to pick the brains of someone who has seen and done so much and is still around and able to share that wisdom. I really enjoy spending time with Arch and I hope you guys do too. He really is a national treasure.Thanks to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode.I start every day with a protein shake made with protein powder from Radix. They do the best flavors made with the best ingredients. They have just introduced 2 new flavor to their range – mango and blueberry. Like all their other flavors, these 2 don’t disappoint.Check out their incredible nutritional products at:https://radixnutrition.co.nz/  Hosted on Acast.

Fun fact: Ryan Hall and I raced each other in 2011 at the Boston marathon (only, he had no idea we were racing). I finished in 5528th place with a time of 3 hours 20 minutes. Ryan finished in 4th place with a time of just under 2 hours and 5 minutes, around 2 minutes per kilometer quicker than me!That day he set a record that still stands now as the fastest marathon ever run by an American.On this episode, we trace the highs and lows of his illustrious running career, from that epic run in Boston to the disappointment of having to pull out of the Olympic marathon in London and the career ending injuries he endured.Ryan gives us a peak behind the curtain on the massive physical and mental effort that goes into preparing for these huge races- both for himself as a runner, and now in his role as coach to his wife, Sarah Hall, who is a total badass.We talk so much more than running though:Ryan's now a tank as a result of years of weightlifting so we chat about that transformation.He was 63 kilos when he stopped running…now he kind of looks like Dwayne Johnson.We also chat about Ryan and his wife Sarah's decision to adopt 4 sisters from an orphanage in Ethiopia and the challenges of raising a family who know very little English language or American culture.Ryan's story is about resilience, perseverance, and the courage to let go, pivot, and embrace new paths. Ryan has such a good attitude. He might be the most laid back and chilled serious athlete you could ever meet. I loved our time together in Boston and I hope you do too.Thanks to Radix for sponsoring this episode.If its protein powders, smoothie recovery powders or freeze dried just-add-water meals that actually taste nice and give you the nutrients you need, check them out: https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ Hosted on Acast.

Last week we hit a massive podcast milestone- the one millionth download.To celebrate, we have taken a departure from the usual weekly podcast. On this episode, Jay-Jay Feeney takes over and asks me the questions- all centered around the podcast journey so far. Some of them are her questions but most of them come from you guys on social media.Some nerdy podcast stats here - 1 million downloads puts us firmly in the top 1% of all podcasts worldwide which is insane. And we reached this milestone in 17 months.For that I cannot express enough gratitude to YOU for listening. Especially if you have been along for the ride since the beginning or early into the podcast journey.Also, thanks to all the businesses who have supported the podcast so far. In particular, Radix Nutrition who have been the longest and most loyal sponsor. I love you guys!!https://radixnutrition.co.nz/And a final shout out. During the podcast I talk about some of the team helping out now behind the scenes. Marcus, the social media guy I mention can be contacted here:Marcus@Viadigital,co,nz Or check what he is all about here: https://www.viadigital.co.nz/We have only been working together for the past 6 weeks but I have already been blown away by what he has done, and I'm very confident the podcast is only going to get better with his input.

Maia Wilson first made the silver ferns in 2016 when she was still 19 and has been there shooting goals, and lots of them ever since.But she is so much more than an awesome netballer- sports wise, she made the NZ women's basketball team when she was just 16.In this conversation we chat about a whole range of stuff like body image, self-worth, and the societal pressures faced by professional athletes. Also coping with the death of her nana and dad in quick succession. Then getting through the lockdown while helping nurse her mum through a diagnosis of lung cancer.Maia has dealt with a tonne of adversity which has helped make her the fierce bullet-proof resilient waihine that she is today.She is a real breath of fresh air and so much fun to talk to- as well as being talented, fiercely competitive and driven…she is also bloody hilarious!Thanks to the legends at Radix Nutrition for bringing you this episode.Follow them on social media or check their website out to see the incredible game changing products they are making at their state-of-the-art factory in the Waikato. Their products have been a go to for professional and elite spots people for years. But all of us can benefit from the radix range:https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ Hosted on Acast.

Hannah Wilkinson or “Wilky” as she is known by her team mates is one of the star players of the New Zealand Footballs Ferns, a team she has played in since she was a teenager. 13 years ago.She has played over 100 games, been to three Olympics, played in 3 (soon to be 4) FIFA Women’s World Cup tournaments and that’s just the tip of her football iceberg.I would like to think this episode is a good glimpse into the mind of one of New Zealand’s greatest footballers of all time. And hopefully you’ll come away with a better idea of who Hannah the person is on and off the pitch.Thanks to the sponsors of this episode, Skin Institute and Radix Nutrition.6000 Kiwis are diagnosed with melanoma every year and 300 people die from it. Skin Institute are THE skin cancer experts. Go and see them for a full body skin check:https://www.skininstitute.co.nz/0800 754 637And Radix Nutrition who have a special deal right now which you should get amongst. They want YOU to try their breakfasts…for FREE. Just select a couple of flavors you like the look of and you will pay for postage and nothing else:https://radixnutrition.co.nz/products/free-breakfast-sample-pack Hosted on Acast.

Mils Muliaina would dispute this, but he is one of the Greatest All Blacks of all time.He was only the second All Black to play 100 tests (less than a month after Richie became the first).He was part of the team that won the 2011 Rugby world cup against France in that nail biting final. He was also part of the team that lost the world cup 4 years earlier after being beaten by France.But Mils is so much more than a former All Black and accordingly, rugby only makes up a small part of this epic 90-minute conversation. I can’t thank Mils enough for being so willing to open up about his life, especially the messy stuff. He is by his own choice a reasonably private person these days, so this was a rare glimpse into mind of Mils.Thanks very much to the sponsors of this episode. Please check them out and support the legends who support the podcast.Radix Nutrition:https://radixnutrition.co.nz/And Skin Institute.https://www.skininstitute.co.nz/0800 SKIN DR (0800 754 637) Hosted on Acast.

*BONUS EPISODE: VERY MUCH ONE FOR THE RUNNING NERDS*James Constantine is a keen runner (he’s bloody quick, too) and he is also part of the huge team putting on this year’s Sydney marathon, presented by Asics, on Sunday September 17. It is a very special event this year- it is a “candidate race” in hunt to join New York, London, Berlin, Boston, Tokyo and Chicago as a World Marathon Major. To earn major status, they have a checklist of 104 requirements, one of the key requirements being the number of runners participating. Already they have over 10,000 people signed up which will make it officially the biggest marathon event ever held in Australasia.In this conversation with James, we talk about the process of Sydney trying to join the ranks of the world’s most prestigious marathons.I’m signed up and I cannot wait- I’d love to see you there too! They have an “early bird” entry available until the end of July ($165)And Air New Zealand have some decent priced flights that weekend ($600 return)https://sydneymarathon.com/marathon/https://www.airnewzealand.co.nz/Follow James on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/that.guy.who.runs/ Hosted on Acast.

Marcus Daniell is New Zealand's fifth greatest tennis player of all time (According to a random website I found with a google search).  Questionable website rankings aside he is a phenomenal tennis player, especially in doubles. He won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics. And has beaten Novak Djokovic!He is so much more than a good tennis player though. Off the court, he is the founder of an epic charity called HIA (High Impact Athletes) which we discuss in this podcast.He also shares his remarkable journey in the world of tennis, philanthropy, and mental resilience.

Shorty Clark from New Plymouth is officially the worlds best triathlete in the 70-74 category.He became a world champion in Abu Dhabi late in 2022 at the age of 71. 9 months later, in this podcast, he still gets emotional talking about that moment.It’s a sport he only took up in his late 40s and back then he couldn’t even swim so its been a long journey- a 26 year apprenticeship he jokes.I thought Shorty's story would be a good one to share for a few reasons. The main one being what YOU and I can get out of it. It’s a good boot up the arse and reminder that with hard work, persistence, and some good old fashioned self discipline, even things that might seem impossible can become possible.Thanks very much to Skin Institute, the sponsors of this episode. https://www.skininstitute.co.nz/0800 SKIN DR (0800 754 637)6000 Kiwis are diagnosed with melanoma every year and 300 people die from it. Skin Institute are THE skin cancer experts. Go and see them for a full body skin check!   Hosted on Acast.

Mea's life today as a mum of 5 in her early 30s looks very different to how it did just a few years ago. Through her 20s she was stuck in marriage as a victim of relentless and brutal domestic abuse with unimaginable violence and cruelty.Mea bravely opens up about her past and how she managed to survive and rebuild her life. By sharing her story, she hopes to empower others to find their own strength and use their voice to make a difference.I absolutely adore Mea and I know you guys will too. I think we can all get something from Mea’s journey from rock bottom to the top of the world. If she can get through this, still smiling and laughing. We can all get through whatever adversity life throws your way.This episode needs to come with a strong warning and I would urge anyone who feels triggered by this discussion to reach out and ask for help. In the words of Mea herself:“Speak and do not be ashamed.”https://www.instagram.com/mea_meamotu/Thanks to Skin Institute for sponsoring this episode.Did you know 6000 Kiwis are diagnosed with melanoma every year and 300 people die from it? So getting checked is so important- early detection can save your life.Skin Institute are the skin cancer experts. I went in a couple of weeks ago for my first ever full body skin check and I wish I did it years ago. I was in and out in 20 minutes and it was covered by health insurance (yours might be too).They have 12 clinics nationwide so there’s probably one near you.You can book an assessment online:https://www.skininstitute.co.nz/Or phone 0800 SKIN DR  0800 754 637 Hosted on Acast.

DEAN BARKER:Dean Barker is a name that is synonymous with yachting in NZ. Especially the Americas cup. When you think of that event his name is up there with Coutts and Butterworth back in the day and now Burling and Tuke.Unfortunately, he is probably remembered most for being the Team NZ skipper when we were on the receiving end of one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history- remember that? San Francisco 2013.  Team NZ was up 8-1 then we ended up losing to Jimmy Spitalls Oracle boat by 9 races to 8. We reflect on that period in great detail in this conversation. We also chat at length about Deans battle with bowel cancer recently. Bowel cancer is the most commonly reported cancer in New Zealand…and probably one of the least talked about cancers. As a country we have 3000 cases and 1200 deaths each year. https://bowelcancernz.org.nz/Dean has always struck me as being like an old school kiwi guy- stoic, strong, silent and intensely private. So I really appreciate him coming on the podcast and being so open about some really personal and painful stuff.Thanks to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. Even before they jumped on board as a sponsor, I was a fan of their products. Now their protein powder is part of my daily plan. Every morning without fail. They are so much more than just protein and smoothie powder though. Check out their website to learn more about this kiwi company doing special things.https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ Hosted on Acast.

Sarah Gearhart is a New York based sportswriter and now author. You name the organization; she has probably written for it! USA Today, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, ESPN, Runner's World, Vice Sports…In April 2023 she published her first book: “We Share the Sun: The Incredible Journey of Kenya's Legendary Running Coach Patrick Sang and the Fastest Runners on Earth.”https://www.booktopia.com.au/we-share-the-sun-sarah-gearhart/book/9781639363551.htmlI met Sarah in Boston during the 2023 marathon weekend, and we sat down for this podcast conversation about her experience writing this book including how she convinced the notoriously private Patrick Sang to take part in it, the many many months she spent in Kenya and her observations and experiences with the greatest marathon runner of all time, Eliud Kipchoge. And his coach, Patrick Sang.I’m a sucker for a running book. I’ve read just about every single one imaginable. This is my new favorite. (Disclosure: I am a Kipchoge fan boy. But this is so much more than a book about running or the guy behind the guy). Whether or not you buy or read the book. I do hope you enjoy the conversation with Sarah.Thanks to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. Even before they jumped on board as a sponsor, I was a fan of their products. Now their protein powder is part of my daily diet plan. They are so much more than just protein and smoothie powder though. Check out their website to learn more about this kiwi company doing special things.https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ Hosted on Acast.

Jay-Jay Feeney is the undisputed queen of music radio in New Zealand. She started the radio station The Edge and grew it into the massive brand that it remains to this day. She currently hosts one of New Zealand’s most listened to afternoon shows on the station, More FM.She is the author of two books and has won too many NZ radio awards to count!.This is a strange episode...jeust because of the intensely personal nature of it. I can’t imagine I will ever record a podcast that is as raw, emotive, and vulnerable as this one is. The reason being- the personal relationship.JJ and I got married in 2004. We separated about 5 years ago but remain very, very close. Because of this relationship, we know everything about one another and had the ability to touch upon some very serious stuff. Because of that a trigger warning is needed- this podcast episode discusses family violence and sexual abuse, infertility and IVF, depression, and suicide.If you listen to this and need some professional help in New Zealand, you can call or text 1737 free of charge to talk to a trained counsellor.This podcast also includes a lot of light moments too as we zoom in on some of JJs many career highlights. Thanks to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode: . https://radixnutrition.co.nz/Adding to their popular Protein range, they have just launched a new range of breakfasts which are incredible: strawberry banana, coconut, vanilla, mixed berry, Apple and cinnamon and chocolate. These are super simple and super healthy. They are filling. And did I mention they taste amazing?You can pour it into a bowl or just pour the water straight into the bag and consume it that way: .https://radixnutrition.co.nz/  Hosted on Acast.

Kelsey Waghorn was a Whakaari White Island tour guide in December 2019 when it erupted. This is a powerful and raw conversation with Kelsey. And it is a tough listen in parts, made slightly easier thanks to Kelsey's ability to find the humor and light in the darkest situations. We talk about Kelsey and her life before, during and after the eruption, the resilience and courage it takes to navigate life after such a harrowing experience.Through her journey of healing, both physically and mentally, Kelsey opens up about her struggles with PTSD and how she learned to be kinder to herself.Her story serves as a stark reminder that even in the darkest of times, laughter and hope can help us heal and move forward.I loved Kelsey's company so much. She left me feeling inspired, moved and motivated. She doesn’t do much stuff like this so I can’t thank her enough.Thanks to Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. They are (currently) a little kiwi company doing big things. Check them out for yourself right here:https://radixnutrition.co.nz/.Also, big thanks to the spectacular QT hotel in Auckland for looking after Kelsey while she was in Auckland.https://www.qthotels.com/auckland/ Hosted on Acast.

Simon Cochrane:A week before this podcast conversation took place, Simon Cochrane travelled from his home in Hamilton NZ to take part in the "Ultraman" event in Noosa as a relative unknown in this event. After 3 days of intense and brutal racing he not only won the event, he also SMASHED the world record.The Ultraman event is a crazy few days of racing. It was created in 1983 by some mad bastards who, I'm assuming, decided the Ironman distance was too easy LOL. This is what an Ultraman weekend looks like:Day 1: 10km ocean swim and a 145km bike ride.Day 2: 276-km bike ride.Day 3: 84-km run (double marathon).This is definitely an episode for the running and multi-sport nerds. But there are takeaways in this conversation for everyone. Including time management and how to get more out of yourself every day, and how you can change your situation if you aren’t happy with it and the importance of enjoying everything you do- and how that’s a mindset you can choose. As Simon says with his endurance events: “Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.”Thanks very much to my pals at Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode:https://radixnutrition.co.nz/    Hosted on Acast.

Hadyn Jones is an ultramarathon runner (that’s one of the caps he wears).  He is also a well-known current affairs TV host. You may recognize the face or voice from Fair Go, Seven Sharp, the good sorts segment at the end of the news on Sunday night (a really cool feature he has done for years).He is also a dad and a husband. All roles that he juggles successfully. His secret includes getting his long runs done when the kids are in bed!We discussed his running journey, his career including his early years working with Sir Paul Holmes and the decision to relocate and work from Taranaki. We talk about his home life, his recollections from losing his dad at the age of 5 and much more. I loved sitting down with Haydn and I hope you guys enjoy it too.Thanks to Radix nutrition for sponsoring this episode.

If you say you don't know who Leigh Hart is, I'd probably raise an eye brow.He has been part of the New Zealand comedy and TV landscape for two decades now.He is also the face of Hellers sausages, the creator of Wakachangi beer and, more recently, the insanely good Snackachangi chips THE best Salt n Vinegar chips in the world).BUT whether you know him or not, I think you’ll be a fan of Leigh after this. It’s a fascinating insight into the mind of a creative genius.We get real deep and talk about his childhood which included a whole year without seeing his parents.His entire TV career and which of his old work he regrets now, and how the famous snackachngi chips came about.Lee also reflects on his marriage breakup, the resilience needed to get through it, and how he has become more emotionally vulnerable with age. This was my favourite part of the conversation. His honestly and vulnerability was profound. Thanks to my friends at Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. I am a daily user of their protein powder. Start every day with a shake for breakfast. Their banana flavor is incredible. They are much more than amazing and delicious protein powder though. You can go to Radix.co.nz to see their whole incredible range of world class products made in the Waikato and shipped to wherever you are on earth.https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ Hosted on Acast.

Just 4 days before recording this podcast, Jono Ridler had SMASHED the New Zealand open water swim distance record when he swam 99 kilometers (previous record was 80km)His 33 hour non-stop swim without a wetsuit started on a fine Tuesday morning and finished on a very story Wednesday night.I really hope you guys like this chat. Jono is not a big name guest…he’s just a regular guy who has done something incredible and inspiring. Actually, to give you an idea of just how regular he is, after finishing this 99km swim on Wednesday night he spent Thursday in Hospital then was back at work on Friday! .

Campbell Johnstone made a name for himself in NZ rugby circles as an All Black and Canterbury Crusaders rugby star in the early 2000's,He made a name for himself internationally in early 2023 when he became the first ever openly gay all black. This is his story.This is as they say in rugby, a podcast of two halves- the first half zooms in on his sexuality and the second half looks back on his rugby career which included three super rugby titles.We chat about his decision to do the interview on Seven Sharp with Hilary Barry, growing up gay and his earliest sexual experiences, coming out to his parents, dabbling with the Grindr dating app and much more.Then we look back on his rugby career- his thoughts on Razor Robertson as a coach, the hilarious reaction from his dad when he told him he was an All Black, his awkward haka experiences and more.I really enjoyed Campbells company and I hope you guys love this conversation and get something from it.Thanks very much to the absolute legends at Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. I start every day with their protein powder mixed with ice cubes and a bit of trim milk.

William "Billy" Evans.It was an absolute honor and a privilege to spend an hour with Billy Evans in Boston, just 2 days after the 2023 Boston marathon (which he ran with his two sons).Ten years ago, Billy ran the Boston marathon, then shortly after finishing, he and his entire Boston police force had to get to work to try and find out who was responsible for the two bombs that went off near the finish line of the marathon.If you have seen the Netflix documentary series, “American Manhunt: The Boston marathon bombing” you will be familiar with Billy.  He is the first face you see in episode one. He is also the person responsible for capturing one of the two bombers alive after he called for a ceasefire after an intense shoot-out on a boat.Billy has lived in Boston his whole life and spent his entire adult life in law enforcement.He is a passionate runner, husband, dad, and Bostonian. And I could not believe my luck when he kindly agreed to sit down with me while I was in his city.In our hour we talk about his relationship with running, his upbringing and losing both his parents at a young age, his decades as a cop in Boston then the Boston bombing, a case that defined his career.Thanks very much to my mates at Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. These guys are doing incredible work with their small team from their big factory in Waikato. And it’s an honor to have a front row seat as they take on the world: They do a whole range of exceptional products- I start the day with a protein shake using their powder (usually banana or coconut).Check them out online, or follow them on Instagram, as they take on the world:https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ https://www.instagram.com/radixnutrition/  Hosted on Acast.

SUZY CATO.I think for the most part Suzy is a New Zealander who needs no introduction. Chances are if you are in your 20s or 30s now, she was a big part of your childhood (she is the undisputed queen of children’s TV in Aotearoa).In this episode, I had the pleasure of diving deep into her life and career. We explored her beginnings in radio, her transition to TV, and how she met her husband, Steve. We also discussed Susie's experiences dealing with the heartbreak of losing a baby and being let go from TV3, as well as how she bounced back from those terrible experiences. We talked about Susie's relationship with exercise and her childhood growing up in Kaikohe. We touched on Suzy’s personal experiences with prioritizing mental health, coping with grief and navigating career changes.We also discussed her stints on reality TV with Dancing with the Stars and The Masked Singer.She is such fun company and I really hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.Thanks to the legends at Radix Nutrition for sponsoring this episode. These guys are doing BIG things from their factory in the Waikato and I feel genuinely fortunate to be associated with them- great people doing great things:https://radixnutrition.co.nz/ Hosted on Acast.

Mitch James is a well known New Zealand singer. He is also a marathon runner. But he is so much more than those things. He is one of the most authentic, vulnerable and transparent people I have ever met. A true open book. 100% BS free.There are some serious things we touch upon- including mental health and suicide. And I respect Mitch for his honesty. Warning- He DOES like to swear...so keep that in mind if you are with little kids or anyone who is easily shocked.PS: Mitch has a new song called "History" coming out later this week. Look out for it. It's probably awesome. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
