Marathon LEGEND Dick Beardsley (Live from Grandma's Marathon) | RunChats Ep.131
It was a HUGE honor to host and share this live convo from Grandma's with marathon LEGEND, Dick Beardsley!
We discussed his iconic 1982 'Duel In the Sun' with Alberto Salazar, his co-win in the 1981 inaugural London Marathon with Inge Simonsen, and his 2:09:36 course record at Grandma's in 1981 that stood for a remarkable 33 years!
Dick is a great motivational speaker, a gifted storyteller, and an all-around amazing human. I'm so grateful for him sharing his time to lead our shakeout run, take photos, offer advice, and answer questions after our chat. Sharing some solo miles and stories with Dick will be something I'll always treasure!

Customer Reviews
Positive vibes and insight from one of the BEST!
Ron does an amazing job of interviewing people in an authentic way. He has a gift of bringing out the best nuggets of information from the people he is interviewing. I value his experience in the sport and the guidance of the people he interviews. Ron is a natural interviewer, amazing athlete and overall the most caring human being who spreads positivity to all around him!
Great on theme
Ron does a great job highlighting stories across the marathon community, shining light to both the accomplishments and purpose behind what makes the sport so great.
Truly awesome!
I met Ron in Tokyo a couple of weeks ago. We instantly connected: it was as if I had always known him. Ron has a HUGE heart. He is incredibly authentic. He loves people and it transpires in this incredible podcast. I have been catching up on episodes during my runs and I know of no other podcaster who gets to the human drama the way Ron does. This is not about pacing, cadence or HIIT (even though you do learn a lot about all that!) and much more about human stories, with their ups and downs, struggles and victories. Because Ron is so authentic, and because he opens his heart to people, they reciprocate unconsciously and it makes for a deep conversations. I particularly loved the recent episode with Neely Gracey who is my amazing coach.
Thank you Ron for the amazing work!
