The NCAA record books still hold RonoÂ's name three times, as his 5000m, 3000m, and3000m steeplechase records remain the fastest times ever run by a collegiate athletealmost three decades after he set them. During a three month span of the spring andsummer of 1978, Rono set four world records, a feat that many in the sport considerunmatched by any distance runner.
Online coaching may be a new area for Henry Rono, but this is not his firstexperience as a coach. He has coached several world class runners, includingIbrahim Hussein, winner of the 1987 NY Marathon and 1988, 1991, and 1992 BostonMarathons. He has obtained USA Track & Field Level I and Level II certifications toimprove his scientific knowledge of the sport.
A frequent visitor and contributor to running message boards like letsrun.com, HenryRono has not been shy about sharing what he knows about the sport with aspiringathletes, both elite and middle-of-the-pack runners alike. The next step takesHenry to the blossoming industry of online coaching, which allows him to interactwith people more hands-on than the tidbits that he offers to the masses on messageboards.
 I am thrilled to have Henry joining our staff, says Lowell Ladd, founder of 2LCoaching.  We have a staff of experienced coaches from varying backgrounds, but noone who has climbed to the top of the sport as Henry has. His experiences as aworld class runner provides Henry with an invaluable perspective that will be agreat asset to some of the runners who enlist our service for personal onlinecoaching.Â
There have been other prominent runners who have offered their coaching servicesonline. Jeff Galloway, a former Olympian for the United States, has become famousfor his run-walk programs. While Galloway has tried to entice the masses to thesport of running with the easiest, softest approach possible, Henry Rono takes adifferent stance. He pushes people to achieve the best possible results and doesthis with a contagious passion.
 We live in the age of online communication and mobile phones and I'm excited to beable to reach many people around the world, says Rono.
