    The Runners Reunion Podcast

    About

    Welcome to the Runners Reunion Podcast your hosts are Grant Whitney, John Gorman and Ron Gillooly. The Runners Reunion podcast was inspired by the Runners Reunion event organized by Scott Mason and Gerry Beagan in 2019. John and Ron attended the event and had a great time reconnecting with many friends from the 70s, 80s and 90s. In the spirit of that event we decided a podcast would be a great way to continue to connect with our friends from the running community and share their stories.

    From Walk-On to Category One: Hank Pfeifle's Journey in Running and Cycling

    As a senior at UVM Hank Pfeifle walked on to the cross-country team and instantly became one of the interchangeable top runners on a very competitive team.  The cross-country skier was inspired by the likes of Vermont legend John Dimick who encouraged him to give cross country a try.  Dimick was just one of the many mentors that Hank encountered during his elite running and cycling career that included participating in the famous Dr. Ken Cooper 1975 Elite Runners Study.  We hope you enjoy this episode that covers Hank’s unique journey from running down Gary Bjorklund and Mike Slack at the Maple Leaf Half Marathon to his remarkable  transition to compete as a category 1 cyclist in mid 40’s.
