chats with Running Influencers, Researchers, Olympians, Experts & Everyday Runners

The shoes were made of leather, the tracks were cinders, the sport wasn’t popular; the list goes on and on.
But, that doesn’t mean there isn’t lots when can still learn from legends of that age.
One of the top American runners of the 1960s was Bob Schul, who won a gold medal in the 5000-meter race at the 1964 Games in Tokyo, is on our podcast today to share some of that knowledge.
In 1964, Bob set an American record for 5000 meters and a world record for 2 miles. Bob went on to coach thousands of runners, including a stint at Wright State University in his native Ohio from 1996-2007. He has also published an autobiography and a training manual.
Bob’s training was very different from most programs in use today, as were the surfaces he ran on and the equipment he used. Only recently have parts of the system Bob used to train come back into the running mainstream, and of course all of the equipment has completely changed.
In this podcast, Bob and I discuss:
We’d like to thank Bob for his time and wish him the best of luck with the athletes he is currently coaching.
If any of Bob’s experiences or advice resonate with you, we’d love to hear about it. We also love to hear what you all think about our podcasts.
