Former Notre Dame School Record Holder Ron Markezich Shares Stories & Lessons From His Successful Career On & Off The Track + Lessons From Parenting An NCAA Champion
Today on the podcast is former Notre Dame school-record holder, Ron Markezich!
On April 13, 1989, Ron ran 28:44 in the 10k to set a new Notre Dame school record that would last two decades. He was also an All-American in XC placing 11th on the grass.
In high school, Ron won state titles and did some crazy things, like running 9:05 in the 3200m as a sophomore (unheard of for the 80s).
After his successful years in the sport, he transitioned into corporate life where he was unbelievably successful, becomingan executive at Microsoft. He is currently the CEO of Lighthouse.
He has four kids: Jordan, Cambria, Olivia, and Andrea. Three of them went onto run in the NCAA and Olivia is currently a professional runner for On and won an NCAA title in the Steeplchase last June.
In today's conversation, Ron takes me through his years of running growing up, what training was like back in the day, his legendary recruiting visit to Notre Dame, his years at Notre Dame, transitioning out of the sport, lessons from his successful years at Microsoft, parenting, and much more!
This was genuinely one of my favorite conversations I've had this year. It is thoroughly entertaining, while also beingjam-packed with wisdom. The perfect podcast for your next run.
