Our guest this week is four time Olympic Trials qualifier and coach Greg Lautenslager. After a 20 year award winning career coaching in New Zealand Greg is back home in his native state of Texas coaching at Hill College. As many of you know Boston was one of Greg’s stops during his 12 year quest to make the Olympic Team. As with many of the runners in the 70’s and 80’s Boston holds a special place in Greg’s heart for the many friendships he developed during his time running for Nike Boston. This past December Greg was able to attend the annual gathering of Newton and Wellesley area runners at the Cherry Tree in West Newton. Much to his surprise his 20 year hiatus from the Boston scene did not skip a beat as he reconnected with old friends like it was yesterday. Listen in as we continue to catch up with Greg about his experiences in Boston, New Zealand and the many other stops along his passionate journey in running and coaching.
