What is your favorite and/or least favorite workout? My favorite workouts are tempos/long runs. Least favorite would be anything that involves 300s.
Why have you chosen to live and train in Eugene? The town has a lot of history when it comes to running. Between Hayward Field, the support and excitement towards track and field within the community, and all the fast runners that reside here, you'd be crazy to not want to train here.
How would you win The Hunger Games? I'm not the fastest, strongest, or smartest person on the team. So, probably with dumb luck.
What would be your super power and why? Invisibility. I'd use this to win the Hunger Games since it was mentioned above.
What is your spirit animal/what animal do you relate to? Not sure what my spirit animal would be, but dogs are cool.
What is your most epic workout ever? I can't recall any unbelievably impressive workouts I've done. In my mind, the most epic running moments of my life have come when I'm not having a good day but still manage to hang tough and finish workouts.
What is your favorite track and field meet? Anything at Hayward Field.
What drives you to work so hard? My competitiveness, I hate losing more than I enjoy winning.
What is your dream job after your athletic career? Something running related. Maybe coaching.
What is the key to your success? Consistency in training.
What are your other favorite sports? Netflix, or is that not considered a sport?
