Training and Racing with two time Boston Marathon champion Geoff Smith
Hailed from Liverpool, Geoff Smith’s approach to training and racing mirrored the City’s reputation as tough, gritty, and resilient. In his youth soccer was his passion and he was good at it, running the midfield tirelessly. Join us for this episode as Geoff recounts his remarkable career from firefighter to Olympian then on to Providence College to join one of the best teams in the country at the time. Although there was no Strava to document it, Geoff's training in Providence was legendary one time running two consecutive “Doompas” in 1:40 (The “Dump Run” was a standard 10-mile loop from either PC or RIC that went by a working open dump) along with his all out 200s at RIC’s track.

A life of running, coaching, and community with Sue McNatt
As a 10-year old Sue McNatt’s equestrian coach suggested she supplement her training with running to improve her endurance.

Sue’s impressive competitive career spans decades as a high school all-American, Division One runner at Northwestern, and top masters runner. Impressive as her running resume is, Sue's personal qualities as a coach and community member are even more notable.

The 50th Anniversary of "Run For The Hoses" Marathon Tour
In this episode the Runners Reunion podcast was at the Morse Tavern in Natick recording live on January 14th. The Morse Tavern is the second stop on the 50th anniversary of the “Run For The Hoses” tour celebrating Jack Fultz’s memorable win. The “tour” was organized by Jack’s wife Jan in celebration of Jack’s long and storied history with the Boston Marathon. We hope you enjoy this episode that features insights from Jack, Jan, Hodgie, and other local runners. The next stop on the tour is scheduled for February 19th at the Lower Falls Wine Company. The establishment is owned by Phil Minervino who just happens to be a Georgetown track alum where Jack went to school. Lower Falls is not only along the famous marathon course but also played a unique role during the running boom. On any given day in the 1980’s you may have seen Phil consulting on the latest fine wine, Bob Fitzgerald manning the register, Ron Gillooly managing the Bottle Returns, Tom Ratcliffe training for the Grape Stompers track club, Shawn Whalen working in the convenience store across the street, Charlie Spedding refueling at the convenience store after reps on Pump House Hill, and if you stayed up late enough, you would see Greg “Slammer” Lautenslager running by with shorts on in 20 degree weather at 10:30 p.m. We hope to see you on the 19th! Thank you Grant for the live recordings!

About The Runners Reunion Podcast
The first running boom in the 1970’s produced some of today’s most iconic road racing events such as Falmouth and Litchfield that attract capacity fields year in and out. The era also produced mega marathons such as NYC and Chicago that are now destination events attracting runners from all over the world with elite international fields. Athletic shoe companies such as Nike and New Balance went from little known brands to global enterprises fueling the sport with the sponsorship of road races, track events and the elite athletes that competed in them.The running boom also produced a unique cast of characters that made running events, and their post race parties, extremely entertaining. The era was pre internet and the randomness of who would show up at the races made it even more special. This podcast is about their stories and walks you through how they got involved in the sport and what they are doing now.
