New York Road Runners Professional Racing:
The Interviews

July 2, 2008 Update: Today, we posted a profile story about New York City Athletic Club steeplechaser Lesley Higgins and an interview with Team Running USA steeplechaser Steve Slattery. Other recent interviews include Rod Koborsi and Oregon Track Club's Beijing-bound Nick Symmonds (who won the 800 meters at the 2008 Olympic Team Trials - Track and Field). Click on their names at the right to read about these incredible athletes! Meanwhile, please don't forget to drop us a line and let us know what you think of these interviews. Your feedback means a lot to the runners and us!

The Professional Racing section of NYRR’s website has been expanded to include the athlete interviews. These interviews were previously posted on fast-women and mensracing, two sites that NYRR launched in 2001 to provide a window into the lives of top professional, collegiate, and high school distance runners and their coaches. Click here for women’s interviews and here for men’s interviews.

Professional Racing now presents these in-depth interviews, as well as runners’ journals, photo galleries, and race reports from world-class events at distances from 800 meters to ultramarathons.

Our coverage extends from prestigious New York-area events, such as Manhattan’s Continental Airlines Fifth Avenue Mile, to premier competitions throughout the world, like the IAAF World Championships in Athletics, the World Marathon Majors Series, and this year’s Beijing Olympic Games.

Interviews are listed at the right and are organized with the most recent interview first.
