  • In this video, I go over the long road between my first collegiate season and my first NCAA title. It was a physically, mentally, and emotionally difficult journey, but, at the end of the day, it was all worth it. I hope this video can showcase how brutal injuries and setbacks can be, but also how those experiences can sometimes lead us in the direction we were meant to go. #NCAA #TrackandField #Steeplechase #NationalChampion #AllieOstrander #MollySeidel

    Love your videos. I'm definitely not a runner. I'm 25 and just ran 5 miles unbroken for the first time this week. But watching this type of video is definitely encouraging for me to keep trying to improve, even if it's just recreationally

    Very proud of you Allie. Not just for your accomplishments, but how you have accepted and handled adversity. The final chapter has not been written and I look forward to seeing what the future brings to your running career.
    And don't forget all those Mt. Marathon races make you one of the baddest of the Badass runners around. Who else can say they won National Track Championships and the hardest 5K around that anyone can ever do. No One But You. (I was talking with Emilie a couple weeks ago when I was up in Norway training and she remembers that you helped make her win an honest win).

In my opinion 👍🏻it’s interesting listening to you and what you were going through and what was on your mind going into the races as well as when you were in the moment. I also loved listening to you talk and describe your training. My family and I had the privilege of watching you race prefontaine classic at Stanford. We were also lucky to get a picture of you and my daughter 👍🏻. Great memories!

    @2calljohnson175 Před rokem +5

    I'm 67 and what hooked me on following your career was the mountain marathons in Alaska. A long time ago I ran track and Xcountry lost interest in it but you got me back into it. I am a lifetime fan of yours. Good luck in the future.

  • @ellaronci2703
    @ellaronci2703 Před rokem +4

    you are such an inspiration to me while im looking to improve my 5k time. im probably never going to be at your level of running since xc is not my main sport, but the mentality you describe is something that is really going to stick with me! super cool hearing your take on this season
    I also had a knee/hip injury this year that took me out of lots of training, as well as my HS state meet and MOCs, (obviously not as high stakes as your events) it sucks, so sorry you had to go through that

  • @marktaylor4458
    @marktaylor4458 Před rokem +4

    That was a great story and a great story teller. I am 74 years old but I was once young and an ok high school hurdler.
    I ran a 14.5 my junior year but did not do well at the state meet. It always suprises me how much ones mind is needed to be a great athlete. I often think back on those glory days and envy you your future. Great video.

    I never got to run much past high school due to injuries, so it's awesome to have such an insanely detailed retelling of someone else's experience. Not many elite athletes will go into this kind of depth with a whole year of training and competitions, but it's the only way I can understand what that experience is like. The ship sailed for me already. I'll never have my own experience like yours. Thank you for sharing and giving those like me a glimpse.

    @rickbowker Před rokem +5

    wow Allie you have achieved so many amazing performances! I think one thing you mention that all us runners can learn from is NOT going hard on your easy days, it is a sure fire way to derail progress! To get faster you have to recover then let the body adapt to come back stronger for the next hard training session or race! I made the same mistake myself in the past and burned out really badly a few times!

    • @allie_ostrander

    I immediately thought of that "Fake news" tweet when I saw the thumb for this video. Legendary! With a disclaimer that I'm not enough of a fanboi to have committed this to memory, I looked up your times and it's just crazy to have personal *worst* of 10 flat, and that was a preliminary heat and IIRC in actual severe Texas heat. It was awesome seeing you on the track pacing a steeplechase this summer and I look forward to seeing you out front going for the win again.

Actualy my goal is to run sub45 10K this year, I've been a runner for 18 years now but lost my motivation last year somehow and it seems like this goal got my mojo back. I've never been a quick runner I've just love running.
