To runners in Boston, there are few athletes more legendary than Bill Rodgers. Boston Billy may have been born in Connecticut, but when you win the Boston marathon 4 times and run 100 laps of the one and a half mile loop at Jamaica Pond in one week, the city of Boston is going to name you as their own. Bill is one of the greatest marathoners in American history. He’s won every road race you can think of, many of them more than once, and has manage to log over 180,000 healthy lifetime miles. Today on the show, my good friend James Randon and I talk with Bill about how he managed to turn himself from a smoker into a marathoner and have fun, all while winning more races and running more miles than you or I can ever imagine.
