162. Allie Ostrander, Professional Runner for Brooks Running

"It's still really unreal to me that I get paid to run. Running is something that I would do anyway. It's not a job, it's just a good time!"

It's been a big summer for Allie Ostrander. The Alaska native graduated from Boise State University, signed her first professional running contract with Brooks Running, and made her pro debut at USA Track & Field Nationals, where she finished fourth in the 3000m steeplechase, landing her a spot on the U.S. team headed to world championships in Doha next month. On this episode, Allie talks about the process of going pro, how she became a steeplechaser, what her first pro race was like, and what's next.
