E67: Dave Dunham | If One Run Can Change Your Day, Many Can Change Your Life

Dave Dunham (Double D) is my guest this week.  If you just go by the numbers (if you know Dave, you know he’s a numbers guy) he’s run over 157,000 lifetime miles in 18 countries and all 50 states.  During his five decades as a runner he’s run, raced, and won on all surfaces, in seasons, and across all distances from the mile up to 100 kilometers.  That incredible success has earned him multiple Hall Of Fame recognitions, Runner Of The Year awards, and enough gold medals to start his own bullion depository.  But he’s been much more than just an elite athlete during this time.  His contributions to the sport include coaching, race directing, and advising.  As New England mountain runners and race directors we also have him to thank for the USA Track & Field Mountain Circuit which he founded.  Join us as we discuss the origins of New England mountain running, the challenges it faces, and the opportunities to grow the sport in underrepresented demographics.
