Remove the Guesswork: Health, Fitness and Wellbeing for Busy Professionals


Ep. 27: Running for mental health and joining the marathon club with Dominique Drayson

December 20, 2017

Dom is an old friend of mine, and very recently she completed the Bournemouth Marathon, an amazing achievement which only about 1% of the population of the UK will do. Whilst she’s always been a runner, Dom made the connection between running and mental health, and found that if she was able to make exercise one of her non-negotiables, she felt better. In this episode, we discuss the other things that Dom does as part of her routine such as meditation, fresh air, cutting down on alcohol, prioritising sleep and ensuring she had the buy-in of her family so that these things were a consistent part of the diary. We also discuss how she blends this into a busy family life, including two children and an important role to play in the family business. This is a great episode to listen to if you struggle with prioritising exercise or time for yourself, suffer from stress or anxiety and are looking for some motivation and inspiration. Enjoy!
