In this episode, we were in conversation with Ron Mann, a distinguished coach who has been and still is a guiding force to some of the fastest long distance runners in the world. Coach Ron takes us through his journey of training the Korir brothers, Wesley and John, who went on to win the Boston Marathon in 2012 and 2025 respectively. Coach Ron also touches upon what a training regimen looks like for an elite marathoner and how amateur runners can implement those techniques in their training plans. We also learned about his collaborative initiative in Kenya called the Transcend Talent Academy which identifies and nurtures talents by helping them with their education and training.
