About Alberto Salazar
Head Coach
Before he was coaching the world’s best distance runners, Alberto Salazar was one of the best distance runners in the World. Inducted into the National Distance Runner’s Hall of Fame in 2000, one could never have predicted that, from this scrawny Havana-born youth, would he one day go on to reshape the status of American distance running.
Proven a man of formidable mental toughness, in addition to the World Record he also set six American Records: 13:22.6 for indoor 5000m in 1981 which destroyed the previous mark just shy of 20 seconds, outdoor 5000m record (13:11.93) in 1982, and outdoor 10,000m (27:25.61) in 1982.
In 1994 Salazar took his adept ability of pushing limits and endurance by winning the 53-mile Comrades Marathon in record-setting time across the blazing hot South African terrain.
In witnessing the decline of American distance running, employed at Nike, Salazar made it his mission to resuscitate a dying presence. Thus, the Oregon Project was born and with it the return of American distance running.
