About the Authors Richard L. Brown, PhD,
is a veteran coach and an exercise physiologist. His career began in
1963 as a three-sport coach at Bullis Preparatory School in Maryland.
It continued at the United States Naval Academy, then at Mt. Blue High
School in Maryland, and with the Athletics West track team as an
exercise physiologist and director. In 1983, Brown was head coach of
the U.S. world championship cross-country team, and he’s been coaching
independently ever since.
He has also served as a personal coach to an impressive list of
world-class athletes, including Mary Decker Slaney, Suzy Favor
Hamilton, and Vicki Huber. He is one of the few coaches to have coached
athletes in the Summer and Winter Olympic Games and the Paralympics. He
has coached athletes in each of the last five Olympic Games (1984,
1988, 1992, 1996, and 2000).
Brown earned his PhD in exercise and movement sciences from the
University of Oregon in 1992. He currently lives in Coburg, Oregon.
Joe Henderson combined his passion for running with his natural
talent for writing and became one of the most prolific running writers
on the planet. Although Henderson never accomplished his first career
goal of becoming a high school or college running coach, through his
advice in hundreds of magazines and books and in frequent speeches to
running groups, he has indirectly coached thousands of runners.
Henderson was born in Illinois in 1943 and grew up in Iowa, where he
began running at age 14. After graduating from Drake University in Des
Moine, he began his work in running journalism at Track & Field
News. Today he continues as a columnist with Runner’s World and as the publisher of the newsletter Running Commentary.
Henderson has twice been named Journalist of the Year by the Road
Runners Club of America. He is also a member of the Club’s Hall of
Fame. Henderson lives in Eugene, Oregon, with his wife, Barbara
Shaw.
