Lee Bennett
Lee is an experienced Mindfulness Practitioner, Speaker and Mental Health professional with 15 years’ experience of working both in the UK and in Jersey, across statutory and charitable organisations, practicing and teaching evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness.
Lee grew up in wild places and loves talking about and with people about being involved in nature. Personally, he has walked, swam, cycled, run and climbed his way through these environments, sometimes competing in various types of adventure sporting events. Throughout his professional life and adventures, he has developed a greater psychological understanding of what it is to be human while travelling through these environments
Lee has known Paul for a number of years on and off and with Paul’s experience of running, adventure and race organisation, it made sense for a podcast collaboration.
Paul Burrows
Paul is the race director and owner of Trail Monkey Jersey. He has been a runner first and foremost for 10 years, and in that time has taken part in the London Marathon, The Marathon Des Sables, multiple UK based Ultra Marathons & Marathons and is now enjoying running from a more sedate perspective. Most Saturday and Sunday mornings he will be found out on the cliff paths of Jersey with his Dog Jessie having a nice little shuffle along.
The podcast came about as a result of lock-down frustration at not being able to organize events and the need to channel his excess energy into something! In the podcast we will be chatting to runners either from Jersey or with a link to Jersey and asking them about their running stories, experiences and running advice. Each episode will be released on a Wednesday and an initial run of 12 are planned. Paul has known Lee for several years and they have some exciting plans in the pipeline! Stay tuned!
