In 1980, Rosie Ruiz was crowned the female winner of the Boston Marathon.But the Cuban runner was not known in marathon circles and her victory instantly raised eyebrows.Men's champion Bill Rodgers was there when Rosie was crowned at the finish line with laurel leaves."I became suspicious of Rosie pretty quickly," he said. "A really fit, strong, marathoner, woman is pretty tough. Rosie was not that fit looking. It's just as simple as that."Bill tells Vicky Farncombe about the subsequent investigation and how Rosie's story, in an odd way, changed marathons for the better.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive and testimony.

Today, I had an amazing chat with Peter Rae, the head coach of ZAP Endurance! We explored the history of ZAP and its mission to boost US distance running since the 90s. It was so interesting to hear his thoughts on why US distance running has made such great strides in the last 8 years and how ZAP performed in 2024! I really enjoyed learning about his coaching philosophy and how it has changed over the past 23 years. What's he doing now that he didn't do back then? Hearing about his mentors, like Bill Squires, Pete Pfitzinger, and Bill Rodgers, was truly enlightening! Peter also emphasized the importance of soft skills in coaching, which often doesn't get enough attention. We wrapped up by discussing Hurricane Helene and what the future holds for ZAP Endurance.

Oh my goodness, I can't wait for you to hear today's show with Billy Rodgers! And despite the weird wording of the title of this show, we're talking about sharing our faith with friends and family (and not just sharing our faith with Billy Rodgers. ha!)    Billy and his wife, Brandie, are some of our very dearest friends in the world. They are amazing people with a heart for evangelism. When Billy recently shared the statistic with me below, I knew we had to have a conversation on MESSmerized about it:   It's estimated that 95% of believers go through their life without sharing their faith even one time.    Heartbreaking yet not hard to believe, because so many of us (myself included) feel so inadequate and ill-prepared to share our faith with a culture desperately seeking hope.    Because I REALLY want you to tune in to today's show, I'm giving you a sneak peek of some of the top five tips today so you can see how do-able this is:    Speak of God's goodness Pray not just for people, but WITH people Simply be willing and ready to share why you believe what you do   Let's not be a part of the 95% who never share their faith. As we start a new school year, it's a perfect time to start thinking and praying about who we're being led to have faith conversations with in the coming months.   All things Cynthia Billy Rodgers You Have Purpose videos  Case for Christ by Lee Strobel Find an Alpha group in your area

Każdy biegacz powinien poznać jego historię! Bill Rodgers aż czterokrotnie wygrał legendarny maraton w Bostonie i zebrał długą listę sukcesów. Długo zastanawiałem się jak ugryźć podcast o tak kultowej postaci. Mógłbym długo opowiadać o jego przygotowaniach, najlepszych występach, pokonanych rywalach i uzyskanych rezultatach, ale gdybym skupił się jedynie na sportowych aspektach, to obdarłbym ją z wartości oraz przekonań, które miał i kultywował wyjątkowy dla naszego środowiska biegacz. Oczywiście Bill bardziej znany jest za oceanem, gdzie rozpoczął biegowe tsunami, a przy jego popularności, nasza małyszomania wydaje się mała i niewinna. Chcę Wam przekazać coś, co mnie uderzyło, podczas przygotowań do tego nagrania. Chodzi o to, że historia Billa wcale nie zaczęła się na Boylston Street czyli mecie bostońskiego maratonu. Nie zaczęła się, jak w przypadku wielu sportowców, wraz z pierwszą poważną wygraną. Zaczęła się zdecydowanie wcześniej, a Boston był w moich oczach bardziej jej zwieńczeniem. *** Partnerem odcinka jest Fundacja Zdrowy Ruch - organizator Ligi Biegowej.

April 21, 1980. The Boston Marathon, the oldest and arguably most prestigious marathon in the world, attracts the sport's top professional runners. So, when a completely unknown woman named Rosie Ruiz, with barely any marathoning experience, crosses the finish line first, many in the media and racing community are shocked… and more than a little suspicious.Over the next seven days, a massive investigation is launched, and eventually a story filled with some genuinely bizarre twists and turns is uncovered.Today, Rosie Ruiz becomes the most infamous cheater in marathon history. How did the race organizers eventually catch her in the act? And at a fundamental level, why did she do it?Special thanks to our guests: Chris Chavez, founder of CitiusMag.com and host of the Citius Mag podcast; Paul Clerici, author of several books on long-distance running, including “Boston Marathon: History by the Mile” and “Images of Modern America: the Boston Marathon”; and Bill Rodgers, four-time winner of both the Boston Marathon and the New York Marathon.

For some, a nearly two hour conversation about the future of the sport of running - between three relative bozos - may be a bridge too far. For others of you, this will really help reveal significant changes we feel will revolutionize the sport. Recent NCAA legislation has slowly filtered into the real world of collegiate distance running. The first athlete to sign a significant NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) contract is Katelyn Tuohy of NC State, in signing with adidas, her school's shoe & apparel sponsor. This past weekend, Tuohy won both the 5K & 3K races at the NCAA Indoor Championships, as she continues to cement her legacy. In this episode, recorded in the first week of December, we provide a quick primer on the history the amateur vs professional arguments in distance running. In the 1970's, the legacies of Steve Prefontaine, Frank Shorter & Bill Rodgers transitioned the sport by ushering in a new era of professionalism. But the opportunity to make a living from sport has always been thwarted by the NCAA, where every athlete has been unpaid employee of shoe companies, television networks & athletic directors that truly own sports in America. This "stuckness" as I term it, has traditionally limited athletes - especially distance runners - opportunities to benefit from their success on the track. The new legislation - we argue - will be a huge opportunity for athletes to turn the tables.  Listen in as we delve deep into this topic & its role in social media, the attention economy, sponsorships & how we can expect the sport to change. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. But we are seeing seismic changes in the world of sponsorships & marketing - positive & negative- & how it impacts us all. Somewhere along the way we begin to focus on Atreyu & its marketing challenges & The Story of the Wasp. We delve into our favorite topics: "Steal the culture."; narratives & stories; style & soul; coming home. It's all here in this one, folks.

Largo coach Brent Haley rode the wave of the running boom in the United States in the 1970s. He recruited in PE classes, he created a T-shirt incentive program and he got runners, year after year, summer after summer, to develop the will to prepare for greatness. It wasn't just Largo guys who were putting in the miles, as current Florida State coach Bob Braman and former sportswriter Bill Ward explain. Oh yeah: One of the guys in this photo is nicknamed Moose. Music credit: "Love" by John Gillespie, used with permission; Bill Rodgers footage by Ambrose Salmini  

"It was an astonishing thing. It was one of those defining moments in your life. Everything else was changed from that moment." It was an honor to be invited to the 20th running of the Akron Marathon, Half Marathon, & Team Relay in Ohio this past weekend, and to get to host a live show at the pre-race expo with running legends Meb Keflezighi (Olympic silver medalist and winner of both the New York City Marathon and the Boston Marathon), Kathrine Switzer (the first woman to officially run and finish the Boston Marathon), and Bill Rodgers (four-time winner of both the Boston and New York City Marathons). One quick note: Unfortunately, the first few minutes of the show are missing from the audio recording, so what you'll get here picks up with Meb a few minutes in, answering my question, "Why did you run your first marathon?" The audio skips a few times throughout the recording, but ultimately, you'll still get to hear some inspiring and powerful stuff from Meb, Kathrine, and Bill.

For the 100th episode, we had to go out and bring you all a legend. Please welcome Bill Rodgers to D3 Glory Days. The 4x Boston and NYC Marathon winner, Olympian and Wesleyan graduate walked us through his career. From the early days, Rodgers enjoyed running with his friend and brother as it was a fun activity to do with a group. As he progressed through his high school days, he saw his potential to get better. The idea of going to a big state school was overwhelming and he went 15 miles down the road to Wesleyan College. His teammate and mentor Amby Burfoot played a big role in Bill's motivation to move to the marathon after college. Amby won the Boston Marathon in 1968 while he was a student at Wesleyan. Rodgers took time away from running after college as the Vietnam War made things feel insignificant. After living on the Boston Marathon course and seeing the race, Bill got the spark he needed to get back to training. In 1973, he ran his first Boston Marathon but dropped out at mile 20 and walked home. By 1975, Rodgers figured out it out and won the Boston Marathon in 2:09:55 - which was an American Record at the time. Rodgers would go on to win Boston and New York 4 times each, competed in the 1976 Olympic games and competed in 60 marathons. Rodgers also played a vital role in brining professionalism to the sport of running. He worked with other athletes to fight for the pay they deserved.

He followed with silver at Montreal in '76--the same year Bob Larsen's group of rag tag San Diegans known as the Jamul Toads surprised the country by winning the US Cross Country Championships. American dominance ensued at Boston and New York as Bill Rodgers, Alberto Salazar, and Greg Meyer carried the torch into the 80s. But then, nearly as quickly as Shorter lapped the track in Munich, our preeminence waned. At the 2000 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials only one American male even qualified for the Sydney Games and none of the competitors hit the Olympic A Standard. By 2004 we had Olympic medalists in both the men's and women's races at Athens. And in recent years Americans have won major races at Boston, Chicago, and New York for the first time in decades. So who is responsible for the resurgence? Perhaps no one more than Coach Bob Larsen. In his new book, Running to the Edge: A Band of Misfits and the Guru Who Unlocked the Secrets of Speed, New York Times Deputy Sports Editor Matthew Futterman chronicles Coach Larsen's journey and the parallel rise, fall, and resurrection of American distance running.

A four-time champion of the Boston and New York City Marathons, Bill Rodgers is a global ambassador for the sport, and, now 70, is still tackling road races near and far. Among other roles, he's an ambassador for John Hancock at each Boston Marathon, and can be found bounding around the city each year around the race.  After his collegiate running days at Wesleyan University, Rodgers moved to Boston, worked in a hospital, and his running ambitions diminished.  He dropped out of the first Boston Marathon he ran in 1973, he finished 14th in 1974, and had his first running breakthrough in March of 1975, when he earned a bronze medal in the World Cross Country Championships in Rabat, Morocco.  While racing the Boston Marathon in April of 1975, his shoelace became untied while leading the race in Newton. He went to a knee and laced up, and when he started up again he never looked back, winning in 2:09:55. With the performance, Rodgers set a personal best by about ten minutes, a new Course Record, new American Record, and began a legendary running career.
