Do you like running? Well you might owe this guy a “thank you” for making the sport popular in the first place. Frank Shorter is the only American to win 2 medals in the Olympic Marathon, and his 1972 Gold at the Munich games is often seen as the moment that catalyzed the start of the running boom in America. On today’s show, we bounce around Frank’s 60 year running career while talking about wisdom he’s acquired on staying healthy and loving the sport. We get into what active recovery and cross training looked like in the 70s and talk about how how he learned to accurately read his body’s sensory data to help him perform his best. We also bust some myths about legendary workouts he used to do and talk about a few scenes in the famous running novel, Once a Runner, that he inspired. Frank joined James Randon and I for a conversation via Zoom.
