Yep, my favorite time of the year is here. Personal paparrazi to our super star Haute Volée athletes. Enjoy the recap + photo essay!

ALISHA BROWN 800m, 2:05.64

"I felt pretty good. Almost missed my race! Ha! I felt a lot stronger than I have been feeling this season, so that’s a huge step forward. Pretty excited about that! I needed some kind of breakthrough today. It was incremental, but it was something… it was a step forward.”

MEL LAWRENCE 3000M Steeplechase, 9:44.80

“Race went pretty well! I was hoping for a faster time in the end, but that’s about the time I opened up in last year… so as long as it’s not slower, I am happy with that! I had a strong close, but I think I probably could have started from a little further out. But that’s what racing is for! To get experience and apply learned lessons to the next one."

REBECCA MEHRA 1500M

“Unfortunately, it was not my day. But I am looking forward to putting in some more miles and track workouts and coming back stronger than ever."

Excited to see what the rest of the season holds for these fierce women! Stay updated on all team events + results by following @oiselle_team on twitter!

I love this set of core exercises for its efficient targeting of core muscle groups, and because no gym equipment is required! You can do this on a grass field, in your hotel room, or really anywhere you can lay on a flat surface.
