from Today in Running History · host Hillary Barrett

Today is Thursday, September 4th, 2025 and on this day in 1972, Kenyan superstar Kipchoge Keino won Olympic gold in the men’s 3,000 meter steeplechase, setting a new Olympic record in the process.   In this very special pod-ception episode, I am joined by Tommy McClellan, host of the Laugh and Run Podcast, and together we break down Keino’s background, Olympic performances, and lasting legacy. You can find the Laugh & Run pod on Youtube here.   This episode and every single other was edited and produced by my good friend Rob Garcia, who many know by his own ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠podcast "Rob on the Run"⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. If you are looking to get into the podcasting or Youtube space, but need some help on the technical side, I HIGHLY suggest reaching out to Rob. His email is [email protected]   And as always, if you enjoyed this episode, make sure to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠follow me on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or send me an email at ⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠
