About this listen

Ronnie Melao is one of the most consistent and quietly driven runners you’ll ever meet. In this episode, we break down how he’s improved little by little over the years, most recently running a 2:34 marathon.

We discuss the decade-long arc of his development: the habits that kept him improving year after year, the accountability required to juggle full-time work with 80–90 mile training weeks, and the mindset that allowed him to continue improving even after his collegiate career ended.

We talk about his recent top-50 performance at the Philadelphia Marathon, his accomplishments representing the Stevens Institute of Technology, and his humble high school running beginnings.

If you’re a runner who loves stories of long-term growth, discipline, and sustained improvement well beyond college, this episode is for you.
