From tasting his own blood while running hard as a Notre Dame miler
to producing the top US marathon legends in the epicentre of the
running boom of the 1970s and into the 80s, Bill Squires not only
survived being born with a misdiagnosed and potentially fatal
defective heart, but the late-developing skinny kid also amassed
numerous track records as a collegiate All-American while
struggling academically. As the first coach of the ground-breaking
Greater Boston Track Club, Bill Squires was the key figure in the
creation of the greatest generation of American distance runners.
Coaching for years at all levels, it is with this vast accumulation
of first-hand knowledge and experience that legendary Olympians and
major marathon champions such as Bill Rodgers, Alberto Salazar,
Greg Meyer, Dick Beardsley, wheelchair champ Bob Hall, and more,
individually and with GBTC dominated the landscape and set the pace
for future generations via Bill's innovative race simulators and
group-training techniques that are still used today. Proof of his
determination and perseverance appeared early as he survived the
physical and emotional childhood trauma and effects of a
misdiagnosis that stunted his emotional and physical growth. He
continually pushed himself through personal pain in competition and
maturation; found his eventual athletic calling as a record-setting
runner; and became the highly sought-after benevolent ambassador of
running as a coach. He is proof that one should never give up.
