  • Summary

  • Joan gaps the field as her friend, former Olympic marathoner and then TV commentator Bill Rodgers watches in awe from his ABC news vehicle at the front of the race. Bill first met Joan when she ran the 1979 Boston Marathon and discovered the distance that she was made to run. Before then, Joan was one of the first women to be sponsored by the fledgling shoe company Nike, whose first employee, a running coach, saw her win a high school race by a country mile.

A most inspiring listen!

I’m so impressed with this original podcast series telling the important stories of women who pioneered the sport of running for those who came after them. Thanks to this series for introducing me to some of my life heroes I previously didn’t know!!!!
