Today's NZ Sporting History goes back the days of moustaches, short shorts and a time when New Zealand punched above its weight in the middle distance running world.
For 17 years Rod Dixon represented New Zealand, winning and Olympic bronze, and dominating the cross country and road racing circuits.
In 1983 he won the New York City marathon in the one of most dramatic finishes in running history.
Today he joins Jesse to talk about his running career and current work advocating for children's health and fitness.
