Running Interviews

by Jackie Linehan

Running Interviews are a fantastic way to learn about what great runners are doing and how they have succeeded in their sport. The more we learn the more power we have to fulfill our dreams of becoming better runners and running injury free forever.

The following experts have given their time freely and shared their knowledge with us. We truly appreciate their opinions and their contribution to this site. I have learned something from each person I have interviewed. I hope you will too.

Please check out the interviews below. (More to follow soon.)
