Australia’s chief operating officer at Bank of America, James Barrett-Lennard, works long hours. But in his (rare) spare time, the 62-year-old Sydneysider doesn’t relax by watching Netflix like many of us. On a Saturday morning, he disappears into the bush for several hours, running up to 100 kilometres at a time.

“Family is number one, followed closely by work. And then my running is the thing that allows everything else to make sense,” he tells The Australian Financial Review.
