Robert Johnson

Co-founder Let'sRun.com with twin Weldon. Coach at Cornell, 2:22 marathoner. In just five years at Cornell, Johnson has already coached athletes to no less than 12 school records and a staggering 46 top 10 all-time Cornell performances, including five of the top six in both the indoor 800 and 4x800, three of the top five in the 1,500 meters and mile, and four of the top 10 in the steeplechase. Johnson guided Bruce Hyde, a 4:20 high school miler, to a 4:00 equivalent and fourth-place showing at the 2004 USA Indoor Meet. Hyde followed that up with the Ivy League and NCAA regional titles in cross country before earning All-America honors at NCAAs.
