Welcome to season four of the Runners Reunion Podcast and a look back over the past three seasons

As we prepare for season four of the Runners Reunion Podcast, we thought it would be a good time to reflect on the first three seasons and the many interesting and inspiring guests that have been gracious enough to share their stories.  The Running Boom of the 70’s and 80’ was much more than a fad.  During that time, we experienced the democratization of running with women and men of all ages getting involved in the sport.  Fueled by the advent of title nine, many of our guests were breaking barriers and setting the stage for generations to come with the impressive showing at the Paris Olympics this past summer by the United States women’s and men’s teams.

There were also many iconic figures associated with the running boom including Steve Prefontaine, Frank Shorter and Bill Rodgers.  While many of our guests may not be national household names, their stories and contributions to the sport are equally impressive and compelling.  Thank you for listening!
