A chain-smoking grad student and Vietnam-era conscientious objector, he stumbled into running as a lifeline, only to unknowingly ignite the 1970s running boom. Four Boston Marathon titles (1975, ’78, ’79, ’80), four straight NYC Marathon wins (1976–’79), a 2:09:27 American record, and over 60 race victories across 100,000 lifetime miles.Bill pulls back the curtain on his transcendent memoir Marathon Man: My 26.2-Mile Journey from Unknown Grad Student to the Top of the Running World. Not a victory lap, but a raw excavation of how the marathon became his teacher, his therapy, and his tribe. What emerges is pure gold for every runner: how to keep the marathon from breaking you, the art of racing with joy over grimace, and unforgettable stories from his 60+ marathons where the clock was never the point. Humble to his core, Bill preaches one truth above all, running isn’t about the podium; it’s about showing up, inviting everyone to the party, and letting the miles build something bigger than yourself. If you’ve ever laced up wondering why, this episode is your invitation to go deeper. We thank Bill for becoming a RUNEGADE. His passion, his sheer joy of running, community and inclusion to the sport is undeniable.More Bill Here:​Book - Marathon Man​Bill Rodgers Running Center​Bill on Instagram​Bill on FacebookIn a world of runners, be a RUNEGADE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Save $$$ with RUNEGADE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - check out our Linktree, as our Friends of the Podcast are offering great savings to RUNEGADE listeners.Connect with Todd, Mark and Harvey:​Email: [email protected]​Todd on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@altramarathonman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​Mark on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@runclemark⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​Harvey on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@altra_harvey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RUNEGADE on Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Path Projects⁠ | our favourite running gear and apparel.
