210. Elle Purrier, Indoor Mile American Record Holder

"It's a pretty misunderstood lifestyle. Unless you're in it, you don't really have a clue what it's like to do it or why you would do it, because it's so much work. But the people who have a passion for it would never change that."

Earlier this month, Elle Purrier won the Wanamaker Mile at the Millrose Games in New York City. In the process, she set a new American record in the indoor mile (4:16.85), broke a 37-year-old record, ran an 8-second personal best time, and ran the second fastest indoor mile in history. On this episode, Elle, who runs for New Balance, talks about that day, and reflects on her indoor season before she begins training for outdoor season — and the 2020 Olympic Track & Field Trials. She also talks about growing up on a dairy farm in Vermont, and how that impacted her work ethic.
