Beards and Dun return to the podcast this week with guest Don Kardong. Don has had an exciting running career from marathon winner, Olympian, author, Road Runners Club of America President, and race director. Don's passion, knowledge, and sense of humor make for a whole slew of great stories.

This week on the podcast Beards and Dun got the pleasure of visiting with running legend Benji Durden. With modest high school and college credentials, Benji went on to become an Olympian and a Road Runners Club of America's Hall of Fame member. His running career includes being ranked in the top ten American marathoners for SIX consecutive years and being ranked 7th in the world in 1982.

By Davy Crockett Sue Ellen Trapp was one of the elite women pioneer ultrarunners who burst into the sport in the 1970s. She was the fourth person to be inducted into The American Ultrarunning Hall of Fame. She quickly achieved world and American records and showed how fast and how far women could run. With a busy life including her dental practice and family, she rose to the top of the sport twice, after an eight-year ultrarunning retirement, setting world and American records in her 40s and 50s. Learn about the rich and long history of ultrarunning. There are now eleven books available in the Ultrarunning History series on Amazon, compiling podcast content and much more. Learn More. If you would like to order multiple books with a 30% discount, send me a message here. Sue Ellen (Hamilton) Trapp (1946-), of Fort Myers, Florida was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. Her parents were Robert Roy Hamilton (1908-1971), a tool and die maker, and Marie Blanche (Festner) Hamilton (1910-1999). She had a brother, Ross Hamilton (1942-2014) of Chicago. Her ancestors were from Pennsylvania, Germany, Austria, and Denmark. Sue Ellen and Kristina In the late 1960s, Sue Ellen went to dental school and married Ronald Edward Trapp (1943-), of Minnesota, who was also a dentist and entered the navy in 1969. He had been a cross-country runner in college. In 1971, Ron was stationed in San Francisco, California, as Sue Ellen was finishing dental school at the University of Illinois Dental School in Chicago. She gave birth to her daughter Kristina Trapp (1971-)  in April while in California, and then graduated from dental school in June. Ron and Sue Ellen training in 1975 Trapp said that she thought the baby weight would melt off, but it never did, so she took up competitive tennis and swimming, with some running to help her get into shape. Her first road race came in 1971, San Francisco's 12 km Bay to Breakers. She said, “I thought I'd just try it, and it was awful.” Later that year, the family moved to Lehigh Acres, Florida, a suburb of Fort Myers. She and Ron set up a dental practice together and Ron took up running and tennis, too. Results of her tennis tournaments would appear in the paper and starting in 1975, she was doing well in running races, too. In 1975, Sue Ellen ran her first marathon at Gainesville, Florida, with 4:04, but gained speed quickly. She placed second in the 1976 AAU Marathon Championships in Crowley, Louisiana, with 3:10:32. The two of them won husband/wife division of that championship. That marathon finish qualified her to run the Boston Marathon by 20 minutes. Trapp won the 1975 and 1976 Melbourne Marathon, in a course record with 3:40:18 and 3:09:46. In 1976, the Trapps started the Rotary 5-miler for Lehigh Acres runners before there was even the Fort Myers Track Club. That race became a 5K and lasted for more than 40 years. Trapp was one of the very early women to run the Boston Marathon. She finished in 1977 with 3:52:33. She would run that prestigious marathon for several years and brought her time down to 3:00:42 in 1979. First Ultra Florida Space Coast 50 km After stacking up many wins during 1978 of distances from 5 miles to the half marathon, it was time for Trapp to try an ultramarathon. Her first ultra, held on December 30, 1978, was an unusual one. She ran with a field of 54 runners in the Florida Space Coast 50 km, thought to be the world's longest beach run. At age 32, she was the first woman finisher and the tenth overall, with a time of 4:09:42. That impressive time on such a rough surface, ranked her 5th in the world for the 50 km distance. 1979-1981 – World and American Records Lydi Pallares running the 100K In February 1979, Trapp went to run a road 100K in Miami, Florida, with a massive field of 88 runners. It was also the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) National Championship. They ran a 3.3-mile loop in a park 19 times.

By Davy Crockett For most elite ultrarunner, as they reach their mid-40s, their competitive years are mostly behind them. But for Ted Corbitt, his best years were still ahead of him, as he would become a national champion and set multiple American ultrarunning records. Read/Listen to Part 1 and Part 2 of Corbitt's amazing history as he became "The Father of American Ultrarunning." Perhaps Corbitt's most notable achievements in the sport of long-distance running was his groundbreaking work in course measurements. He said, “My initiating the accurate course measurement program in the USA is easily the most important thing that I did in the long-distance running scene.” He understood that “for the sport long-distance running to gain legitimacy, a system was needed to verify performances, records, and ensure that courses were consistently measured in the correct manner.” Learn about the rich and long history of ultrarunning. There are now ten books available in the Ultrarunning History series on Amazon Learn More Course Measurement Standards Obtaining accurate measurements for courses had been important for over 150 years. During the 19th century pedestrian era of ultrarunning, indoor tracks varied in length depending on the size of the arena. Professional surveyors and engineers were employed to measure the tracks down to the inch. This was important in six-day races as runners would circle the tracks thousands of times and massive wagers were made on how far runners would go. Mistakes were made at times. In October 1879, a couple weeks after the Fifth Astley Belt race held in Madison Square Garden, won by Charles Rowell (1852-1909) of England with 530 miles, the track was remeasured for another race and was discovered to be several feet short per lap which meant that Rowell actually instead covered 524 miles. The controversy resulted in a lawsuit because the error affected the distribution of enormous winnings earned by the runners. After that debacle, race managers were much more careful about certifying their tracks. In the 20th century, ultrarunning returned to road courses. With the introduction of the automobile, odometers were typically used. But those devices were rarely calibrated accurately as auto manufacturers liked to have them register more miles than actually traveled. Off-road course measurement was even more difficult. In 1959, a five-mile cross country course was used in the Bronx, New York. A careful remeasurement after the race discovered that the course was short by 490 yards. Another important example: As the famed Western States Trail was used by the horse endurance race, The Tevis Cup, in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, and for the early years of the Western States 100 foot race, it later was discovered in the 1980s the course was not even close to 100 miles, it was no more than 89 miles, more than 10% short. It wasn't initially a 100-mile race. John Jewell As Corbitt went to England in the early 1960s to compete in London to Brighton, he became acquainted with John Jewell (1912-2001), a founding member of the Road Runners Club in England. In 1961, Jewell wrote a paper describing the process of road race course measurement in England. He refined a method of using calibrated bicycle wheels for measurement. Jewell measured the London to Brighton course that Corbitt competed on. Corbitt was convinced that a method of accurate course measurement was needed for America's long-distance races. He pointed out, “The U.S. has sent marathoners and walkers to the Olympic Games who thought they were in a certain time range, but who in reality were several minutes slower on full length courses. This is unnecessary since it is possible to measure courses accurately." He exported many of Jewell's ideas, did his own research, and published a historic 29-page booklet in 1964, “Measuring Road Running Courses.” He evaluated all the typical methods of measuring courses and concluded t...

As runners we are quite conscious of the training process be it the miles/week, the specific paces or the interval durations. But training is not just about how far or how fast we can run; it's also about how well we bounce back and prepare ourselves for the next training run or race. The backbone to achieve performance goals without getting injured, is to have a good recovery strategy alongside the training. More often than not we are guilty of ignoring recovery all together, especially when we are juggling family, work and running.

By Davy Crockett Thomas Joseph Osler (1940-2023) of Camden, New Jersey, was a mathematician, former national champion distance runner, and author. His published running training theories have made a deep impact on distance running for multiple generations. His book, Serious Runner's Handbook became a classic book on running. He was the first to verbalize in a way that was really understandable to most athletes. Runner's World wrote, "Tom Osler was among those who helped push and pull America toward the running mania of the 1970s." His pioneer 1976 24-hour run in New Jersey brought renewed focus on the 24-hour run in America. He won multiple national championships and was inducted into the Road Runners Club of America Hall of Fame. During his running career, he ran in more than 2,100 races of various distances. Of his youth, Osler said, “I was a sickly little kid at 12 or 13 and didn't have many friends. This annoyed me, so I decided to leap head-first into every sport there was. I was terrible. I came home night after night looking like an ad for the Blue Cross." He was an excellent student, but purposely lowered his grades for a while in order to fit in as a “regular guy.” He said, "One day a bunch of us decided to see who could run the most around a field and to my shock I could out jog everybody. So that's when I realized I was born to be a runner!" His gang in his neighborhood picked distance running as "that day's form of athletic torture." When he was still 13 in 1954. He jumped in head-first and started to run. He learned about track from his brother-in-law and discovered that there were races of a mile and further. He also learned about the current local running hero and Olympian, Browning Ross (1924-1998). Browning Ross wins the 1954 AAU 30K Championship. Young Tom Osler on left. "I read in the newspaper that there was going to be this big race in Atlantic City, the National 30-kilometer championship and it was going to start and finish on the Boardwalk at Steel Pier. I got myself a bus ticket and went down there and stood in front of Steel Pier and waited for this race. I remember thinking that runners must be very powerful people—big muscles, well developed like Mr. Atlas! And what shows up but all these skinny people. It was a national championship, but I doubt it had more than 20 or 25 people in it. That's how it was in those days. Browning Ross showed up and I couldn't believe what a small rather insignificant looking human being this hero of mine that I'd read so much about was. The race was several laps, so you saw them come by several times." Someone asked Osler to hold the string at the finish line as Ross won the race and he got in the finishing picture. Osler said, "I lived in a row house in Camden, New Jersey and there was a Mack truck factory at the end of the block that we estimated occupied a quarter of a mile. So, I ran around the block four times. My brother-in-law looked at the kitchen clock to time it and it came out to something like six and a half or seven minutes. We figured with a year's training we could probably get it down to a good racing speed. Which I did." He had dreams he would be the first person to break the four-minute mile. He said, “When you are young, you have dreams that seem very attainable. Every day, I went out and ran four times around the block as fast as I could. So, in a year I went out for the track team as a sophomore at Camden High and was their best miler-- I ran a 5:10. I was the only person running year-round that I knew of. In 1954, England's Roger Bannister was the first to break the four-minute mile barrier, which crushed Osler's dream. His best mile was 4:54, which was disappointing to him, but he was one of the best high school milers in Camden. He finished his first marathon when he was 16 years old with a time of 3:27. In high school, he excelled in his classes, especially in the sciences.

We spend far more time training than we ever will racing. By learning to love the process of improvement in all of its forms, you'll come to enjoy the journey of training just as much as the outcome. Kenzie Barlow, a sponsored ultra endurance athlete, has finished in the top 10 of races like the Wasatch 100 and the Old Cascadia 100 Miler. She is also a USA Track and Field and Road Runners Club of America certified coach. But Kenzie has also dealt with setbacks and long term health issues, and has had to take time to rediscover her love for the process of training. Kenzie and I talk about how she came to running later in life, and how her path to racing and coaching was something her younger self never could have anticipated.  Kenzie's outlook on longevity in the sport contains so much wisdom for every runner, including: Her unique introduction to ultrarunning (on the road!) Learning to love being uncomfortable - whether on the trails or in the weight room Finding a balance between intensity and longevity in the sport Coping with her first DNF Rediscovering her identity as runner - on her own terms Developing the skill set to turn a negative into a positive The importance of process-oriented goals Kenzie's enduring love for the sport and her willingness to share her story make for a conversation you won't want to miss.

By Davy Crockett You can read, listen, or watch Dan Brannen (1953-) of Morristown, New Jersey, has made a lifetime contribution to ultrarunning and the running sport in general. His dedicated work, mostly from behind the scenes, helped to establish world and national ultrarunning championships. His efforts have affected thousands of ultrarunners in America and around the globe for decades. Dan was inducted into the American Ultrarunning Hall of Fame in 2022. Early Running Brannen's senior picture The Brannen family were Irish Catholics from Upper Darby, a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He went to Catholic schools growing up, including St. Joseph's Prep in Philadelphia. In high school, he was required to participate in an athletic extracurricular activity. Dan explained, “I was a shrimpy little kid. I played little league baseball, but I wasn't particularly athletic or coordinated. One of the sophomores who came in to give the orientation, said, ‘If you can't do anything else, go out for cross-country.' So, I did, my freshman year even though I was terrible at it.” St. Joe's Prep Cross Country Team During Dan's senior year, a new coach, Larry Simmons (1942-2004), a successful distance runner and racewalker took over the team. He lit a fire into the team and into Dan whose course times dramatically improved, resulting in his promotion to the varsity team. His rapid success, instilled by the inspiration of Simmons, turned him into a runner for life. The cross country team at Bucknell Dan went to Bucknell University in Central Pennsylvania and got in on the ground floor of a new cross-country team. His coach, Art Gulden (1942-2001) developed the team into a highly successful running program at Bucknell. Dan continued to improve under his tutelage and recalled, “Each year Gulden was able to recruit faster and faster high school runners. They included state champions, and it was very competitive. I was able to stay with the second tier of those guys. One of the best feelings I had about myself as an improving runner was when I was running and keeping up with state high school champions.” Brannen as a coach Dan ran a few marathons during college, graduated in 1975, and joined the well-established road-racing scene in the Philadelphia and New Jersey area. He was a self-described “running bum,” living a subsistence lifestyle as he concentrated on his running passion. His weekly mileage would average about 100-120 miles per week. Boston in 1979 His personal best marathon occurred at the 1979 Boston Marathon which he ran in 2:31:13. He was intoxicated with distance running and it would later evolve into a true career for life. Part-time he worked editing research manuscripts which enhanced his writing skills. He also coached cross country at his former high school for a few of these years in the late 1970s. Dan was a member of the Haverford Athletic Club. Road running was very competitive in the Philadelphia area during the late 1970s. He became acquainted with the future ultrarunning legends in the area. “One of the prime organizers in the area was Browning Ross who was a great Villanova runner and Olympian. Browning founded the Road Runners Club of America and started the Long Distance Log which was the very first running magazine. I would go over to South Jersey and met Ed Dodd, Tom Osler, and Neil Weygandt in those races.” Dan ventured into the shorter ultrarunning races in 1978, running the Knickerbocker 60 km in Central Park, and ran in a few others the next year, including the classic ultra, Two Bridges 36-mile Road Race in Scotland. Win at 1980 JFK 50 In 1980, Dan ran a 50-mile race for the first time at JFK 50 in Maryland.  To convince himself that he could do well, he ran two sub-3-hour marathons on back-to-back days leading up to the race, a 2:58 at Kane, Pennsylvania, and 2:57 at Johnstown, Pennsylvania. He also did a 60-mile training run,

Runners of all levels can benefit from coaching, but it's important to find the right match to get the most out of your relationship. If you're looking for a coach or considering getting certified as one, you'll benefit from learning more about both sides of the coaching experience. This week's guest on the podcast is a fellow coach and my roommate from a recent running retreat, Bertrand Newson. “Coach B” (as he is most often referred to) came to running later in life, leaving a long career in the hospitality industry fueled by his love of running.  Coach B is a Road Runners Club of America certified coach, co-host of the Race Mob podcast, and on the Board of Directors at the 80/20 Endurance Foundation, which seeks to promote diversity in coaching. He is not only an outstanding coach and a prolific competitor, but he is also a master at bringing people together. Coach B's love of running and community led him to become the founder of Too Legit Fitness, a Bay Area group with more than 700 members. Whether you're looking for a coach or thinking about becoming one yourself, Coach B and I discuss a variety of topics that can help you on your journey, including: How Coach B's unique background benefits his coaching Various types of coaching certifications and their benefits What makes a runner coachable Why coaching is both an art and a science, and the role of intuition in coaching The importance of relatability and other qualities athletes should look for in a coach This is both a thoughtful and pragmatic discussion you won't want to miss!

The Strength Running Roast is designed for performance: it's electrolyte-infused coffee that can be ordered as light, medium, or dark roast. It's also free from sugar, additives, flavorings, and dyes.  Earlier this year, Tom - the founder of Long Run Coffee - got in touch and sent me a bag of their coffee. I was skeptical at first (would electrolytes added to coffee affect the taste?) but my hesitation was misplaced. This stuff is delicious! This was an easy partnership for me because I love coffee. Caffeine is actually the safest, most studied, and legal performance enhancing drug on the market.  Partnering with another small business like Strength Running was a no-brainer for me. I love supporting the small businesses that keep this sport moving forward. If you're not running stimulated, you're running slower. Order your bag.

Listeners know I'm a relentless advocate of strength training, whether you're doing bodyweight exercises at home or lifting heavy in the gym. But some runners take strength training to a level above and beyond the rest of us - and find great success along the way. This week's podcast features a fellow running coach and one of my private coaching clients, Elizabeth Corkum. Elizabeth - who goes by the nickname Corky - is a 2:58 marathoner and 5-day per week weightlifter. Coach Corky has multiple coaching certifications, including USA Track and Field, Road Runners Club of America, and the Lydiard Foundation. She is also a certified personal trainer and specialist in sports nutrition.  Your path may or may not look exactly like hers, but you can learn a lot from her journey and our discussion, including: How Elizabeth incorporates her extensive strength work into her race training The unexpected path she took to reach her sub 3 hour marathon goal How you can go all in and have fun at the same time The importance of being patient and trusting the path you're on Why every training cycle will help you get somewhere new, even if it's not what you planned Links & Resources from the Show: Learn more about Coach Corky Follow Coach Corky on Instagram Learn how to get strong with Strength Running Listen to a podcast about running a sub 3 marathon Periodize your weightlifting with High Performance Lifting Thank you Elemental Labs! A big thanks to Elemental Labs for their support of this episode! They make electrolyte drinks for athletes and low-carb folks with no sugar, artificial ingredients, or colors. And you can get a free sampler pack of 4 flavors and 8 individual packets when you pay $5 in shipping. Elemental Labs' products have some of the highest sodium concentrations that you can find. Anybody who runs a lot knows that sodium, as well as other electrolytes like magnesium and potassium, are essential to our performance and how we feel throughout the day. The citrus flavor has quickly become my favorite. I'm drinking one a day now to help me get enough fluids in our dry Colorado air. It's tasty and delicious and I find that I'm not peeing every 45 minutes throughout the day, which might be an indication I wasn't eating enough sodium. There's now mounting evidence that higher sodium intake levels are not unhealthy – and athletes need substantially more than your typical sedentary person. Of course, ask your doctor if you're worried. But for those athletes running outside in the heat, an electrolyte replacement makes a lot of sense. So check out Elemental Labs to try their new flavor or get a free sampler pack.  Thank you Impossible Sleep! We're also supported by Impossible Sleep, a new performance sleep drink to help high performers get the most out of their nightly rest. Impossible Sleep is a melatonin free sleep drink mix that provides deep recovery while gently lulling you to sleep. It only has two ingredients, with magnesium to promote muscle recovery and deep sleep, and L-theanine for a subtle calming effect that helps you wind down at the end of the day.

Heather has been an athlete for most of her life. She took her love of swimming and entered the triathlon world, eventually crushing Ironman. She eventually married her love of running and all things Disney and tackled a number of runDisney runs. This is where she met Jen. Jen began running during her weight loss journey half a dozen years ago. She previously only ran from base to base as a varsity softball player and loathed running. But thanks to her friends and a supportive network, she ran her first 5K. Heather and Jen met as Jen was training for her first half marathon and eventually her first full marathon thanks to Heather's encouragement. The two are now dear friends and share a coach/athlete relationship. This friendship and love for running comes through on their podcast.    All information provided by Heather Jergensen Coaching and Runners Without Limits is of a general nature and is furnished only for educational/entertainment purposes only.

Even when we've grabbed the gold ring, it's possible to feel like something is missing. That was the case for Dr. Michelle Quirk, a pediatrician whose career and life were firing on all pistons … and yet. She felt burned out and boxed in. On this episode of She Turned Entrepreneur we learn how, step by step, the founder of Mindful Marathon, a coaching practice devoted to aspiring runners, hit her stride! Michelle didn't want to abandon her medical practice, but still had to face the fact that it wasn't bringing her enough of what she wanted. For anyone else who has experienced this gnawing feeling, she has some advice: First, take a pause. Spend some time with yourself. In Michelle's case, she cleared space for taking long runs. And before she knew it? Michelle had completed her first marathon and gotten clarity about this much: She was passionate about running! Knowing what you love is the entrepreneur's first challenge. What Michelle did next was equally important, however. She looked for a sounding board, in her case a fellow physician who had found a way to add a new venture while keeping her medical practice going at the same time. It was an “aha” for Michelle, who envisioned Mindful Marathon for the first time. Today she's got a thriving practice, coaching one-to-one and in small groups, offering a virtual race series, designing training plans and running retreats. Whatever your goal – running a marathon or building a business – Michelle will inspire you with her story, resources and simple tips for shifting from stuck to full steam ahead! Here are key takeaways from the conversation:· You don't have to run a marathon. Just lace up your shoes and start with five minutes!· As was the case for Michelle, entrepreneurial ventures offer an opportunity to reimagine or reinvent our identities. · If you undertake an entrepreneurial venture, some people will ask if you've lost your mind. But you will also find plenty of cheerleaders. Stick with the latter!· Have a passion? With time and patience, you can find a way to turn it into a business. · Burnout Remedy: Take a step back and spend some time with yourself.· If you're feeling stuck, don't hesitate to seek counsel from a friend, a therapist or coach.· Are you a new runner? Start low and go slow. Find a pace that's comfortable for you!· If you stay consistent you will get there – in running, in business, in life! Here's a quick look into the episode:· Michelle's evolution from being a kid who hated running to being a periodic runner in her young adult years to becoming a devotee when she discovered the restorative nature of running as part of a self-care plan during a particularly stressful period of life.· At the peak of her career as a young pediatrician, Michelle hit a patch where she was training but felt like she needed something more. The decision to run her first marathon proved transformational.· Michelle hasn't quit medicine so much as folded it into her coaching enterprise and overall identity. She felt the desire to get out of the box and try something new.· Mindful Marathon offers one-to-one coaching, group programs for beginners, a virtual race series, training plans and running retreats.· Creating a Niche: Michelle followed her passion and evolved it organically, which afforded her time and space to find ways to marry medicine with running.· Michelle has been able to maintain a medical practice and a coaching practice by setting up dedicated work hours for both.· When she felt stuck on a treadmill, literally and metaphorically, Michelle got intentional. She took time to pause and be with herself, which she did while out on long runs that ultimately helped her get clarity about her purpose and the direction she needed to go.· Confiding in a fellow physician who had started a coaching practice in addition to her medical practice proved a gamechanger for Michelle, for whom it opened up a new path.· Tips for Wannabe Runners:1. Wherever you are in terms of conditioning, get moving.2. Start low and go slow.3. Find a “conversational” pace that's comfortable for you.4. Leave your technology at home and just be present to how you feel.5. Try run-walk intervals to build up stamina.· Even though we live in a “compare and despair” social media culture, Michelle urges runners at whatever level not to get caught up in trying to keep up with anyone else.· Recommended Reading:o "The Miracle Equation: The Two Decisions That Move Your Biggest Goals from Possible, to Probable, to Inevitable," by Hal Elrod.o "The EntreMD Method: A Proven Roadmap for Doctors Who Want to Live Life and Practice Medicine on Their Terms," by Nneka Unachukwu. About Michelle:In the midst of a lively career in pediatrics, Dr. Michelle Quirk discovered that running could change her life. She embraced the sport by becoming a certified run coach with the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA), a local Girls on the Run coach, and a Disney World-loving marathoner.

“I look back now and I don't think of myself as a trailblazer. We were setting the standard for other women and encouraging them.” Freddi Carlip started casually running in 1978 as an outlet from her daily life as a stay-at-home mom to two small children. Little did she know that the healthy activity would soon become her life's work. In addition to serving as a founding member of the Starting Line 1928 oral history project, Carlip has served multiple terms as the President of the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA), has been publisher and editor of Runner's Gazette since 1981, and successfully helped lobby for the inclusion of women's 5,000 meters and marathon distances in the Olympic Games.

Eric Wilden began studying mindfulness at age 12, and he's been studying Buddhism for 30 years now. He has a Master of Divinity degree, and he's a Road Runners Club of America-certified coach, both of which play into his success as a mindful running coach. Eric, like our host, does some ... different stuff. In the past few months alone, he's run a marathon on a treadmill, and another in his cul de sac. He also ran across the state of New Jersey to memorialize the beginning of the pandemic. We learned shortly after the interview (to which he wore a T-shirt reading "Kiss My Asana") that he and his wife officiate weddings. When asked why he does these things, Eric's answer is always the same: "Why not?" There is, however, an explanation for why he got into mindfulness. Because he was different from the other kids, he was bullied in middle school. And he found solace in deep breathing and, eventually, Buddhism. Now he's a sought-after mindful running coach, and one hell of a conversationalist. ************************************ This episode was presented by Gateway Foundation.

Oh boy, do we have a good episode for you this week on The Just Athletics podcast. Our guest, Don Kardong, has his fingerprints all over the American distance running scene the last 50 years. Don had a remarkable career at Stanford University, where he held school records in the 2 mile, 3 mile, and the 6 mile, graduating in 1971. Some of the big achievements of Don's running career after Stanford include finishing fourth place the 1976 Olympics in the marathon, just three seconds from the bronze medal, in a sensational 2:11:16, running 12:57.6 in the three-mile race behind these guys named Prefontaine and Shorter at Hayward Field in 1974, and winning both the 1976 Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta and the 1978 Honolulu Marathon in Hawaii. Don's impact goes far beyond his athletic achievements. He has been a prominent journalist in the sport of running since the early 1980s, he served as a contributing editor at Running magazine from 1980 to 1983, and a contributing editor (1983–1985) and senior writer (1985–1987) for The Runner magazine as well. Since 1987, he has been a contributing writer for Runner's World magazine also. He has also been one of the top road race directors in the country and served in a leadership role as the President of the Road Runners Club of America from 1996-2000. He founded one of the best road races in the country in 1977 when he started the Bloomsday Run in Spokane, WA, and has served as the race director at times and been heavily involved in that amazing event. This man also has a bridge named after him and an ice cream flavor. Who else can say that?We can't thank Don enough, this was an amazing episode, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Thanks Don!
