Acerca del autor

I was born and lived on Chicago's South Side from 1947-1957 in a working class Slavic neighborhood and then in Evergreen Park where I graduated from High School in 1965, a Chicago southwest suburb. I went to Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois where I graduated in 1969 with a honors major in history. In 1969 I tied a world record in the 1000 yard run at the Big 10 Conference Track Meet. In 1972 I received a Master of Business degree in finance and economics from the University of Chicago. I worked for 35 years in the investment business as a corporate bond specialist and in equipment leasing and structured finance for international banks in Chicago including as a vice-president for Deutsche Bank, the leading bank in Germany. In 2003 I switched to teaching and worked at tribal colleges from 2005-2009 at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota and the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. For the past nine since 2009 I have been an adjunct economics instructor at Central New Mexico Community College. In 1968 I went to Moscow Russia, the Soviet Union, to study Russian language and culture with a USA college group. I was a strategic intelligence analyst in the United States Army. This book is meant to share my ideas about middle-distance track and field performance training and international political and economic issues to provoke analysis and perhaps challenge your viewpoints. I wrote this book because I wanted to express my ideas about running in a system that worked so well for me my senior year at Northwestern University. It's all in here with my commentary, ideas, and I talk to you in a straightforward and folksy way. It's based on what worked for me when I tied a world record of 2:06 in the 1,000-yard run, that was held by Peter Snell of New Zealand. I did very well in many races at the 880 and ran a 4:06 mile my senior year at Northwestern. I think there is a lot to be learned here, and it's probably somewhat contrary to today's training. It's not meant to replace training for the star-studded national caliber athletes, nor to take the place or be competitive with today's coaching methods at collegiate or track club level. It's meant to be a book for the runner who needs some help, who is either isolated or is not part of a major program. I think it works. You can become a highly ranked athlete. And I hope you enjoy reading this and my story and my anecdotes about society. Take care of yourself and good luck I also have written a substantial portion about ideas that matter to me and I want to express to many people. I have a lifelong wealth of wisdom and teach economics at a community college. I also traveled to Russia/Soviet Union in 1968. It made a major impression on me. I think athletes can and should speak out on issues that they think are important.
