While there is no shortage of podcasts that focus on the mechanics of running, I was surprised to find very little that looks at the history of our sport. I created the daily podcast “Today In Running History” to fill this space. In eight minutes or less, listeners will learn the backstories and lasting impact of some of the biggest names and milestones in running history, plus some they might not know about yet. Like the sport itself, Today In Running History is for all of us, from passionate and facts-obsessed sports-history geeks to the most casual of newbies.

Today is Thursday, September 18, and on this day in 1960, the first Paralympic Games were held in Rome.
As a reminder, the Paralympic World Championships are taking place from September 27th to October 1st in New Delhi, and I highly encourage all of y’all to check them out.
