In the long list of published inspiring sport stories are great feats by well-known athletes from well-know teams from around the world. While John Hurd’s may not be as famous, his story is as uplifting as any and his achievements are beyond remarkable. John has won 169 gold medals, including 9 at the national level, in track and field. The amazing part of those achievements is that they all came after age 61 and continue today into his 91st year. His story is documented in his two books, <a href='https://www.amazon.com/JOHNNY-RUN-LATELY-Adventures-Champion/dp/163490513X'>JOHNNY RUN LATELY: The Life and Adventures of a Latter Day Sprint Champion</a> and <a href=' https://www.amazon.com/Sprint-Gold-National-Olympics-Without/dp/1647195926'>A Sprint to The Gold: How I Won the National Senior Olympics Without a Coach or Trainer</a>. In this conversation with Matt, John shares many more details about his childhood, his career, his faith, his health, his training, and his latest goals. His message is inspiring for all ages, all athletes, and anyone who wants some advice on how to get more out of life. John even faced a health scare and was fitted with a pacemaker, but he has adjusted to the changes and still continues to compete.
