🎙️Martin Dugard - runner, best-selling author, coach
Ever wonder how a sport that once seemed on the fringes transformed into a global phenomenon? Or how icons like Steve Prefontaine, Frank Shorter, Joan Benoit, Grete Waitz, and Bill Rodgers, influenced not just running, but the culture and identity of a generation?
We lace them up and jog into New York Times Best-selling author, Martin’s latest book, The Long Run, which explores the transformative decade when running went from an outsider activity to a global phenomenon.
Get insight into the legendary runners, shifts in culture, and what the history of running teaches us about resilience, identity, and human potential today.
