5 Things About Me: Simone Plourde
- I grew up in Montreal, Canada, and my first language is French.
- I come from a skiing background—I downhill skied competitively throughout my childhood until I picked up running when I was about 16 years old.
- I’m the youngest of three, and no one else in my family likes to run (lol).
- My favorite event is the mile.
- I live in SLC, where I train with Diljeet (Taylor)’s pro Nike group, and I absolutely love it!

- What’s one place you’ve run that you wish everyone could grab a few miles on? St-Moritz!
- What’s your favorite way to hydrate to beat the heat of the Summer? I love a slushie half cherry half blue raspberry at 7/11 after a hard workout.
- What’s something you do for fun in your “offseason?” I spend time back home in Montreal! I love trying out new restaurants, catching up with friends, and going to concerts.
