Episode 22 of The Blind Sport Podcast - The First Blind Marathoner is out.

 In episode 22 we chat with John Stratford from New Zealand about
being the world's first blind person to run a marathon. In 1965,
distance runners had a very different approach to racing in the
marathon. Wearing tennis shoes, no water during the race and a 20 mile
recovery run the day after was just the way things worked. There are
some great stories of how he would train alone, running the streets
totally blind and dealing with injuries and attitudes.

I also include some motivational quotations.
