With this episode, I welcome Ryan Posonby to the show. Ryan Ponsonby coached Leo Manzano to an Olympic Silver Medal in 2012 in London after working with John Cook and his group including Shalane Flanagan and Shannon Rowbury.  Ryan is now the head XC and track coach for St. Edwards University in Austin. He also coaches the Rogue Team Rogue Dawn Patrol that meets on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.  With Ryan, I talk about his coaching philosophy which has evolved from his time as an assistant coach at the University of Texas as well as what it's like to coach an Olympian and how that compares to the everyday runner. Ryan also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at Leo's silver medal run in London in 2012.

Episode #138: Olympic Medals and Hill Training with Ryan Ponsonby

On this episode of On The Line with MileSplit, we chat with St. Edward's University's Ryan Ponsonby, who was hired as the Hilltoppers' head coach in March of 2018 and will lead entirely new men's and women's Division II track and field teams in 2020. The university is jumpstarting the men's program, which last had a team in 1970, while the women's squad will begin for the first time in school history. Ponsonby is a graduate of the University of Texas, where he was a 4-minute miler, and was a six-year coach at Nike, where he led Leo Manzano to a silver medal in the 1,500 meter run at the 2012 London Olympics.
