David Ribich was a 4:10 1500m and 2:04 800m runner in High School. The thought of going pro was always in the back of his head, but he knew he had to put in a tremendous amount of work to get to that level. With the help of tremendous coaching and his patient approach to training, he progressed over the years. He now has the 1000m, 1500m, and 3000m DII records. Having just signed his first professional contract with Brooks, he has shown that with the right attitude dreams can become a reality. On this episode of The Underground Running Project, David our host interviews David Ribich and breaks down his career and progression over the years as well as his new book, Small School Big Dreams.
