64. Coach Ron Tabb: One of Team USA’s best runners during the early 1980s & the Old School Approach to Training

Update: 2023-06-21

Description

If you enjoy this episode, consider checking out my ongoing work on The Running Shorts Podcast.

Ron Tabb is perhaps one of the most underrated runners of America’s golden age of distance running. He finished 4th at the 1980 US Olympic Marathon Trials and 2nd at the crazy deep 1983 Boston Marathon. His 2:09:31 personal record would still be one of the top times in the country. Back then it was different. No super shoes, no fancy watches. And there was little to no attention paid to things like nutrition and strength training. In this episode we talk about how Ron trained himself to a world class level, how legendary coach Bill Dellinger modified his training, and how many of the principles that he followed 40+ years ago is yielding success for the recreational runners he is now coaching.
