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.

MY SQUAD #BowermanBabes Yesterday we were pushing each other around the track for a hard workout, trading off laps and working together to go fast. Today we chatted, laughed, and told stories to pass the time on our easy recovery run. Tomorrow we go back to the track for another hard effort. What I know for sure: I wouldn’t have it any other way. This crew gets me through the tough times and makes the good days great. If you’re ever lacking motivation to workout, grab a buddy or two and get the work done together. Follow my #Bowermanbabes for more inspo 💕 Also follow @cortneywhite_ for more gorgeous photography 📷
Caption contest! I haven’t done a contest in a while, so best caption will get a Nike prize! What are @gwenjorgensen and I talking about at the @bowermantc pop-up store? #captioncontest 📷: @cortneywhite_
Major #motivationMonday right here! This shot was taken at the 2016 Olympic Trials as all 3 of the athletes in this photo are vying for the last 2 spots on the USA team going to Rio. We just went over the final water pit and are rounding the bend to sprint to the finish! It’s the final push and the ultimate test of strength and bravery. I remember this whole race so clearly and am still so proud of the way I competed. 💪🏼 After a year riddled with injury, I felt grateful to be healthy enough to compete at the 2016 Olympic trials and represent the @bowermantc and my family. I laid it on the line for them and we ALL went to Rio together! Here’s to doing it again in just over a year! 😱🤗 #tokyo2020 P.s. If you really want to take a trip down memory lane with me, you can go to my website and hit “media” then “rave videos” then scroll down till you see the 2016 Olympic Trials video. It’s a good one. 🇺🇸 What is motivating you this Monday? 📷: @rich_seow_sports
Another solid week of healthy training in the books! 70 miles, 2 track workouts, 3.5 hours of cross training, 1 Pilates session, and 3 gym workouts. Only 5 more days until my #Bowermanbabes and I start altitude training! Let’s go! 📷 by Bae @aconroy4 😘
This spring in Portland has been 🙌🏼 I love when the sun comes out after the rain and everything glistens ❇️ P.s. Nike came out with some awesome floral patterns this spring for sports bras and spandex that my teammates and I have been loving! 😍 Check them out on Nike.com 🌸 🌺 📷: @talbotcox

Work smarter AND harder. That’s a 🔑 I’m up to running 65 miles per week with track workouts, which is about 85% of my full mileage. But even when I’m 100% I still swim a few times a week for some extra aerobic work without the extra impact on the ground. How I usually do this is when my teammates go for their double runs in the afternoon, I head to the pool for some laps. If you want to learn more about being a merperson, I have articles on my site about starting to swim, beginner swim workouts, and finding your way back to solid ground after an injury. 🧜🏼‍♀️ 🏃🏼‍♀️ #injuryprevention #mermaidmonday 📷 Shot with my new @gopro! Looking forward to experimenting with this camera more. If you have ideas of stuff you want me to capture and share, comment or DM me!
“My mother's gifts of courage to me were both large and small. The latter are woven so subtly into the fabric of my psyche that I can hardly distinguish where she stops and I begin.” - Maya Angelou, Mom & Me & Mom A lot of people don’t know this, but my siblings and I were homeschooled until high school. When my older brother started in school, my mom was teaching at another school. It didn’t take long for her to realize she could do a better job of teaching her kids herself. I grew up exploring the world at my own pace, learning about whatever I was intrigued by. We went on field trips, made messy art projects, struggled through math problems, saw plays, and snuggled on the couch reading a lot. It was awesome. My mom had given me a lot of gifts (including the legs that took me to the Olympics), but I think the biggest gift she has given my siblings and me was her time and love love during those homeschooled years. 🏡 💕 📷: @talbotcox
