While there is no shortage of podcasts that focus on the mechanics of running, I was surprised to find very little that looks at the history of our sport. I created the daily podcast “Today In Running History” to fill this space. In eight minutes or less, listeners will learn the backstories and lasting impact of some of the biggest names and milestones in running history, plus some they might not know about yet. Like the sport itself, Today In Running History is for all of us, from passionate and facts-obsessed sports-history geeks to the most casual of newbies.Hillary Barrett Carrera y Trote

  • September 20, 1942 - first postpartum world record set by Fanny Blankers-Koen
    Oct 2 2025

    Today is Saturday, September 20, 2025, and on this day in 1942, Dutch phenom Fanny Blankers-Koen set her first world record since becoming a mom 13 months earlier on her way to becoming the Female Athlete of the Century.

    In this episode we'll learn more about Blankers-Koen, the only woman in history to win 4 gold medals at a single Olympics, and hear why that first postpartum world record was so unprecedented.

    It is #SaltySaturday, which means that this episode is sponsored by SaltStick. The summer heat is not going anywhere any time soon, which means that we all need to be replenishing electrolytes lost in sweat.

    The FastChews from SaltStick are my personal favorite way to get electrolytes in mid-run, and they come in some great flavors, plus caffeinated and uncaffeinated versions, too! Listeners of Today In Running History can save 20% off of your order using⁠⁠ this link⁠⁠.

    AND, as I mention in this episode, SaltStick's sister brand Bonk Breaker is discontinuing their energy bars. Until they are gone for good, you can get a box for free with ANY Bonk Breaker purchase (I love the OMG! Chews) by using the code "ONELASTBOX" at checkout here.

    This episode and every single other was edited and produced by my good friend Rob Garcia, who many know by his own ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠podcast "Rob on the Run"⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. If you are looking to get into the podcasting or Youtube space, but need some help on the technical side, I HIGHLY suggest reaching out to Rob. His email is robontherunpodcast@gmail.com
