“It frustrates me that people have this picture in their mind of what a professional runner or steeplechaser looks like. It makes me mad, but it also fuels my fire. I like to prove them wrong.” allie_ostrander
After wrapping up USAs, Ostrander is relocating to Seattle, where the Brooks Beasts live and train. On top of Seattle’s proximity to her home in Alaska, Ostrander said another bonus of the city is its abundant green spaces to run on.
“They have an awesome setup in Seattle. The Brooks headquarters is there, with a great training room and lots of trails,” she said. But amenities aside, she’s most excited about getting to know her teammates and coach,Runner’s World Training Plan“Since I studied exercise science, I love that he bases his training plans around science,” Ostrander said.
Coming off of her stunning college career, she’s certainly poised for a breakthrough on the pro circuit. At the 2016 Olympic Trials, when she was 19, she placed eighth in the 5,000-meter final. For the rest of this summer, she’ll focus on training in the steeplechase, but she said she isn’t sure what event she’ll be preparing for this fall and winter, with the 2020 Tokyo Olympics on the horizon.
Making Olympic and world championship teams are certainly goals for the young runner. For now, though, Ostrander’s still getting used to her new job title. “I’ve wanted to be a professional runner since I first had some success in college,” she said. “I love running, so the fact that I get to do what I love every day is pretty incredible. I couldn’t pass up this opportunity.”Hailey first got hooked on running news as an intern with Running Times, and now she reports on elite runners and cyclists, feel-good stories, and training pieces for Runner's World and Bicycling magazines.
