Get to Know the Bowerman Babes

I wrote an article! And Tempo Journal published it! It's an insider's look into the Bowerman Track Club, one of the most successful training groups in the world. Renowned photographer, David Bracetty, followed us around for a few days of our high altitude training trip in Colorado Springs. His beautiful photos illustrate our hard work, but also the strength and beauty that all that work creates.

Happy Olympic day! When I was a little girl I never dreamed about competing in the Olympics. I grew up exploring different sports until I found one that I loved and was good at. Then I kept working at that sport and increasing my dedication gradually over the next 8 years. When I got the chance to compete at the Olympics in 2016, my whole family was there with me to celebrate the achievement. Now we are only a year away from a run for my second Olympic Games!! Let’s go!!! Every Olympic athlete has a different journey to get there, which just goes to show there’s no one right way to achieve success. Whatever your sport, whatever your passion, dedicate your time and your life to being the best version of yourself and you’ll never regret it! #olympicday #citiusaltiusfortius #rio2016 #tokyo2020
#fastbraidfriday is about YOU! It’s about your goals, your dreams, your work, your story. And there are so many good stories out there about when you braided up and balled out. So to celebrate more braids and more stories about overcoming challenges, I started a NEW IG handle... @fastbraidfriday! This is where you can go to see more braid stories and get inspired by those around us who are doing amazing things while wearing all kinds of different braids. This account is all about YOU and your stories, so let me know about your braid story! You can use the hashtag or tag the account and I’ll be reposting as many as I can each week. Don’t worry, I’ll still be posting and reposting from my personal account too! But if you want more (because more is better) you can head over to @fastbraidfriday for lots and lots of braid fun! ✨ #FastBraidFriday

#mermaidMonday with @cortneywhite_ 🧜🏼‍♀️ I’ve been able to ramp up my miles after my latest injury and have been steadily working at around 80 miles per week with workouts. BUT that doesn’t mean I’m staying out of the pool! I feel better when I swim 3-4 times per week in the afternoons. These swims help flush my legs out while getting in good aerobic work (especially at 6700ft of altitude!) 🧜🏼‍♀️ I’m glad I have this tool and encourage anyone who wants to get more work in without more mileage in the leggies to get in the pool and become a mermaid/merman! I wrote about becoming a mermaid on my website and even have some beginner swim workouts written by my teammate and former triathlete @gwenjorgensen! Check it out at www.colleenquigley.org (link in bio) #runnerturnedmermaid #nikeswim
My first running coach. My life coach forever. I’ve always felt like I could share anything with my dad. When I’m training at altitude and he’s off work, we can be on the phone for hours discussing my old hs team that he still coaches, how my workouts are going, or whatever concerns are on my mind... I can even talk to my dad about my period and he doesn’t get weird!! My dad is a great example of how men should support and uplift girls and women. He always told me I could do whatever I wanted (he even supported me when I wanted to pursue modeling for a hot second). He lifted me up when I beat myself down. Still does. And I’ll always be grateful for that unconditional love and support. #happyfathersday ❤️ Both my parents are coming to my next race and I can’t wait to see them! P.s. This throwback pic is from Footlockers Nationals in San Diego my senior year of high school! Mom and dad wouldn’t miss it!
I wanna be good. Like really good. And while there’s a lot of work left to be done, I’ve taken some solid steps forward this week. Pushed myself hard in two challenging track workouts this week and still have no (out of the ordinary) pain in my foot! Excited for the future, staying healthy, figuring out this body, getting stronger every day, and always keeping my love for the sport. 💜 📷: @cortneywhite_ is up in Park City with us documenting a few days of training. Get excited for many more of her beautiful pics to come!
