Training and Racing with two time Boston Marathon champion Geoff Smith

Hailed from Liverpool, Geoff Smith’s approach to training and racing mirrored the City’s reputation as tough, gritty, and resilient. In his youth soccer was his passion and he was good at it, running the midfield tirelessly. Join us for this episode as Geoff recounts his remarkable career from firefighter to Olympian then on to Providence College to join one of the best teams in the country at the time.  Although there was no Strava to document it, Geoff's training in Providence was legendary one time running two consecutive “Doompas” in 1:40 (The “Dump Run” was a standard 10-mile loop from either PC or RIC that went by a working open dump) along with his all out 200s at RIC’s track.
