Running boom of the 1970s
In the United States, there was a boom in the 1970s in competitive road running and in jogging for recreation and fitness. It is estimated that 25 million Americans took up some aspect of running in the 70s and 80s,〔(Health Benefits of Jogging and Running )〕 including President Jimmy Carter.〔(Nation: I've Got to Keep Trying - TIME )〕 Many running events, shoe and apparel manufacturers grew and formed to accommodate the demand. The boom also occurred in other countries.
==1972 Olympic marathon==
(詳細はFrank Shorter's victory in the men's marathon is credited with inspiring the running boom.〔(Who Knew? The Running Boom Re-Booms. | C.W. Nevius Blog | an SFGate.com blog )〕〔(Dr J on Running - Running Boom, Racing Bust )〕〔(Notes on a Running Life: The Third Running Boom )〕〔(Chat: Bill Rodgers | Runner's World )〕 He was the third American to win the Olympic marathon, but the first since 1908. The victory was covered by ABC, including dramatic coverage of the finish, when a German imposter ran into the stadium ahead of Shorter.〔(Globetrotting: Marathon Men: The dynamic dozen )〕 Serving as guest color commentator was writer Erich Segal, who called out over the airwaves (but obviously inaudible to Shorter) "It's a fraud, Frank."〔 In 2000, the ''Washington Post'' included the phrase among the ten most memorable American sports calls.〔(washingtonpost.com poll )〕
The television story changed the way Americans viewed the sport of long-distance running. According to Joe Muldowney, at the time "most Americans had no idea what the marathon was, let alone its weird 26.2-mile distance. Some folks may have heard of the Boston Marathon, an event that had been held since 1896, but few Americans had the desire to tackle the race itself."〔(U.S. in another 'running boom' - Sports - Republican Herald )〕
