5 Fast Questions

  1. What is your go-to training shoe? Brooks Glycerin for everyday miles and Hyperion Elite LD for racing. You’ll catch me with both of these this weekend!
  2. What’s your favorite cross training activity? I usually opt for biking though as the weather heats up, outdoor swimming sounds nice!
  3. What’s a show, movie, or podcast that everyone should check out? The Sweat Elite podcast! My teammate Henry Wynne is now a co-host. I like listening on my easy runs.
  4. If I weren’t a runner, I’d mostly likely be… a basketball player? That was my dream growing up at least! First time visiting Furman was at a summer basketball camp!
  5. Do you have any connections to Raleigh and/or North Carolina? My college PR in the 5k was from Raleigh Relays! I went to school at Furman University and we’d race in Raleigh every year. Hoping to see some Furman peeps come out!
