He’s now a full-time cross country and track coach at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock with four daughters aged 9 years to one month. Much more has changed for Webb since his pro running days. He briefly explains below that he simply wanted to shed some “bulk,” observing that “most good marathon runners like Eliud Kipchoge are little dudes.” Webb is hesitant to discuss his recent weight loss, worried that it might send the wrong message to young runners. Indeed, at his current 5’ 9” and 124 pounds, Webb is nearly 20 pounds lighter than during his pro racing career. In the recent photo, he appears almost emaciated. In his prime, he was known for his muscular build, and was sometimes even second-guessed about spending too much time in the weight room. A post shared by Alan Webb the Memphis race, Webb posted a photo that startled longtime followers.
