A new, wide-ranging interview with Amby Burfoot, 1968 Boston Marathon champ and Runners World Editor is at www.garycohenrunning.com . Amby was kind enough to give a great interview on topics including: 1) His Boston Marathon victory; 2) Olympic Trials disappointments; 3) Running 100,000+ miles; 4) Being coached in high school by Johnny Kelley (1957 Boston Marathon champ); 5) Rooming with Bill Rodgers in college and 6) The dominance of east African distance runners. He also answered 'Inside Stuff' such as first running memory, running heroes, funny running stories and embarrassing moments. He also has a couple great Bill Rodgers stories!
