Episode 95 of The Final Sprint Podcast features my interview with ELVA DRYER; an emerging force in the half and full marathon and one of the top Americans set to compete in the November 4th ING New York City Marathon.

The 2007 U.S. half marathon champion followed up her third place finish at last week’s Tuft’s Health Plan 10K with a win at the Denver Half-Marathon on Sunday.

In the interview, Elva talks about her very successful 2007 season, training for and the competition at the NYC Marathon, choosing NYC over Chicago, and why she enjoys the current, “cut and dry” Olympic marathon qualifying system.

Download the podcast to hear Elva discuss these topics, as well as, why not having pacesetters “makes for a better race” for both the athletes and the spectators, the current debate over performance enhancing drugs, running in both the Olympic marathon and track & field trials, the men she believes have the best shot of making the Olympic marathon team, and much more!
