Episode Description
EO25 Runners Only! with Dom Harvey & Josh Komen _______________ Big thanks to this week's sponsor of the podcast, Rockburn wines. I've been a fan of their pinot noir for years so it is great to collab with them: https://www.rockburn.co.nz _______________
Josh Komen was the fastest 800-metre runner in New Zealand and on track for Commonwealth games selection when he got diagnosed with a rare leukemia. Josh is an exceptional New Zealander who has literally been to hell and back. Twice. It's a hard listen in parts, because of Josh's incredible storytelling.
It's exhausting for him to relive his nightmare that lasted for years so I can't thank him enough for his openness and willingness to share.
