HOW I WON AN NCAA D1 TITLE

Рет қаралды 189,324

Күн бұрын

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

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).

you really inspire me, ı had a bad reraltationship with my body with food. I am curently in a healhty weight loss journey because ı am a very sporty person but ı gained a lot of weight fast ( curentlly ı play ice hockey) but running was somethink that ı hate. I started to train for 5k race ( never run 5k before in my life) and watching your videos not just motivates me for running ıt also helps me to have a heathy relatationship with my body and food. Thank you so much

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.

Hey Allie. I’m walking this week for the first time since December 4th when I fractured my tibial plateau,hoping to just lightly jog again to show my dogs. I truly understand these big injury timeouts and also the eating disorder issues. I love your videos. I was never at your level back in the 80s,my college was tiny (Cornell),but I love your videos.

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!

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.
