Press Release Summary = Several world class runners have delved into the ever
growing world of online coaching, but none have had the running resume of Henry
Rono. In addition to having held four world records in Track & Field, the
Washington State University alumni has also coached New York and Boston Marathon
champions. Now, he offers up his passion, knowledge, and personal experiences to
the online running community.

Press Release Body = Henry Rono left his mark on the running world in the late 1970s
and early 80s as an athlete, and now looks to leave his mark as a coach. "Coach
Henry" has joined the staff of 2L Coaching Services and will be providing training
plans, guidance, and motivation to runners online.

The NCAA record books still hold Rono's name three times, as his 5000m, 3000m, and
3000m steeplechase records remain the fastest times ever run by a collegiate athlete
almost three decades after he set them. During a three month span of the spring and
summer of 1978, Rono set four world records, a feat that many in the sport consider
unmatched by any distance runner.

Online coaching may be a new area for Henry Rono, but this is not his first
experience as a coach. He has coached several world class runners, including
Ibrahim Hussein, winner of the 1987 NY Marathon and 1988, 1991, and 1992 Boston
Marathons. He has obtained USA Track & Field Level I and Level II certifications to
improve his scientific knowledge of the sport.

A frequent visitor and contributor to running message boards like letsrun.com, Henry
Rono has not been shy about sharing what he knows about the sport with aspiring
athletes, both elite and middle-of-the-pack runners alike. The next step takes
Henry to the blossoming industry of online coaching, which allows him to interact
with people more hands-on than the tidbits that he offers to the masses on message
boards.

"I am thrilled to have Henry joining our staff," says Lowell Ladd, founder of 2L
Coaching. "We have a staff of experienced coaches from varying backgrounds, but no
one who has climbed to the top of the sport as Henry has. His experiences as a
world class runner provides Henry with an invaluable perspective that will be a
great asset to some of the runners who enlist our service for personal online
coaching."

There have been other prominent runners who have offered their coaching services
online. Jeff Galloway, a former Olympian for the United States, has become famous
for his run-walk programs. While Galloway has tried to entice the masses to the
sport of running with the easiest, softest approach possible, Henry Rono takes a
different stance. He pushes people to achieve the best possible results and does
this with a contagious passion.

"We live in the age of online communication and mobile phones and I\'m excited to be
able to reach many people around the world," says Rono.
