From Bodybuilder to Boston Qualifier: Eli Rodriguez's Running Journey

from DFW Running Talk · host Chris Detzel

Eli Rodriguez went from tearing his rotator cuff as a bodybuilder to qualifying for Boston — twice — in just a few years of running. In this live episode recorded at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza the day before the 2026 Boston Marathon, Eli shares how he went sub-3 in only his second marathon, what he learned from his first Boston, and why he's chasing a 2:49 this year. Plus, his take on how run clubs like Trained Pegasus changed everything.
