The Dom Harvey Podcast

Cam Calkoen was born with cerebral palsy. 20 years ago the only thing that made him happy was watching the TV show "Havoc and Newsboy." Cams mum wrote a letter to Newsboy (Jeremy Wells) and he replied. Cam STILL has that letter pinned to his wall. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Cam Calkoen was born with Cerbral palsy. This has made everything he has achieved that much more difficult than those of us born without the condition. Even though he has done thousands of hours of public speaking, in this moment from our conversation he shares, for the first time ever, the lowest point of his life where he made a spontaneous decision to try and end it all.It's raw. It's vulnerable. It's not pretty. But its 100% honest and unfiltered. Warts and all. Cam is an inspirational individual. If you like this, please listen to our full conversation. Or recommend it to a friend. Thanks, Dom Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Cam Calkoen is a motivational speaker, para-sprinter and mountain climber. He has achieved all this and much more despite being born with a condition called cerebral palsy. It’s a condition I knew very little about so I found it very educational to sit down with Cam. I really hope you guys get something out of this conversation too.

99 year old coaching legend (and all round great New Zealander) Arch Jelley is joined by his 89 year old second wife in this short highlight episode. They share the unromantic (yet still incredibly sweet) story about how they went from friends to life partners.If you enjoy this clip, feel free to listen to the whole exceptional episode with this inspirational Kiwi.

Arch (Archibald) Jelly was the career-long coach of John Walker, Olympic gold medalist and one of our best runners ever.I am so glad I got to meet Arch and now get to share this story with you.In this conversation you'll hear:What it was like living through the great depression of 1930 in Dunedin.His experiences inside submarines during WW2.The story of how he coached John Walker to be one of New Zealand’s greatest evert runners.The (rather unromantic) story of how he got with his second wife at the age of 80.His thoughts on getting a Telegram from the Queen when he turns 100 in August and much, much more.This is so much more than a running conversation- its a history lesson. Arch is a war vet and his father fought (and survived) Gallipoli in the First World War. So it seems fitting to release this episode on Monday April 25th, ANZAC day in NZ. PS: Here is a link if you want to watch John Walkers incredible 1976 Olympic race at Montreal (Arch has some great memories of this which he freely shares):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq2rb7TMx14Massive thanks to the sponsors of this episode, Em’s Power Cookies: Powercookies.com Hosted on Acast.

Lets face it, the last two years has been a dumpster fire for alot of people due to the pandemic.

This snippet is for anyone who skipped Mondays episode with NZ cricket all rounder Jimmy Neesham or just hasn't got round to listening yet (maybe you intentionally didn't listen coz you don't like cricket LOL).High performance sport is mentally tough. And cricket has got to be one of the most mentally taxing sports of them all. In this very short clip, Jimmy talks about what he knows from experience that he needs to do to make sure he can keep himself mentally fit. Hosted on Acast.

Jimmy Neesham is a New Zealand cricket legend who started running at the beginning of the pandemic. As you'd expect there is a fair bit of cricket chat in this conversation.

This snippet comes from Mondays conversation with Laura Nagel. She is a track runner who is unbeaten on the track this year and holds the NZ titles for 1500, 3000 and 5000 metres.5 years ago a Doctor (not Dre or Phil- a real life medical doctor) told her a knee injury was a career ender (LOL).This is how she pushed through. This clip includes a brilliant way to re-frame any sporting injury any of us may suffer. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You name it, she has done it.Marathons. Army. Journalisim. TV presenting. Breakfast radio. Now Dancing on TV! But there is one reasonably common thing that most of us experience that Brodie is yet to- falling in love. If you have been too busy to listen to our full conversation from Monday, you can hear Brodie talk openly and vulnerably (but also hilariously) about her lack of a love life in this bite sized episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

5 years ago a doctor told Laura she would never run again due to a knee injury. This year she has finished the NZ track season unbeaten! She holds the national titles for the 1500m, 3000m and 5000m. Basically, if she turns up to a park run somewhere in New Zealand, she wll smoke you.We chat about her incredible season, her time in the USA on a running scholership, her partners interest (or lack of) in her running, and the heartbreaking reason she started running when she was 12. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A few weeks ago I asked on Instagram who you guys wanted to hear on the podcast. By far the name that came up the most was Brodie Kane.Brodie runs marathons, she makes podcasts, shes worked as a serious journalist, shes presented TV shows, she's been in the amy and now shes going on Dancing with the stars!In this conversation we chat about running (of course), her mums mindblowing sporting achievement, coping with being fired at the start of the pandemic, online bullying, her love life, mental health and much more.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
