015 | Dominique King | On Running with Your Spouse and Connecting with the Run

Dominique King from Lean in With the Kings joins episode 15 to share her running story. She offers a ton of useful advice including tips for running with your partner, advice for connecting with the run, insight on the benefits of moving meditation and so much more.

Here are the highlights:

Dominique and her husband Ken now regularly run together. Their couple runs began after Ken asked to tag along on Dominique's runs as a way to spend more time together in their hectic lives. She offers useful tips for running with your partner and how to recruit a non-running spouse to join the sport. Safety is a top concern for female runners. Dominique runs primarily on isolated trails and has refined her strategy for running safely in remote areas. She offers actionable tips for staying safe, including the importance of letting someone know your running route. In addition to Ken, Dominique's top running companion is her dog Storm. She shares what it's like to run with a canine companion and gives advice for runners who may be thinking of finding a canine running companion. Dominique views running as a form of moving meditation. She discusses the benefits of using running to achieve mental clarity and how she has learned to carry the clarity that she achieves while running into other areas of her life. During the discussion, she references Episode 11 of the Runner Moms Podcast featuring Zuisei Goddard. Dominique ends her online posts with the tag line, Be Well. You are Worthy. She shares the meaning behind that phrase and also discusses her commitment to connecting with the run each time she hits the trails.
