This episode is an interview with Elise Cranny, Colorado native and professional runner for Nike. Elise found immediate success in the sport as a high school runner, and went on to run for Stanford. While at Stanford, Elise struggled with RED-S and several bone injuries that disrupted much of her collegiate career, but despite these struggles she was still a 12x All-American and NCAA runner up, and signed a contract with Nike right out of college. Elise credits her post-collegiate career to learning how to properly fuel herself, and since going pro in 2018 Elise has won 4 US titles, represented Team USA 5 times, and is a 2 time Olympian.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • What is was like finding immediate success in the sport in high school, and some things she wished she had known were signs of under fueling
  • How allowing her body to shift in college saved her running career, and how she navigated the adjustment to that body shift
  • Why it’s important to trust the process when you’re going through an injury cycle despite making changes to your fueling, and how to stay the course
  • What is was like coming close to wanting to quit the sport, then signing a professional contract and finding her way back to being healthy and loving the sport
  • What it meant to her to make her first Olympic team after coming out the other side of an injury cycle and RED-S, and how it helped reinforce that she made the right choices with fueling
  • Why it’s important to her to create a training environment that allows her to be happy outside of running
  • Signs and symptoms of RED-S, what to be on the lookout for interns of what is normal and what is a red flag, and how she adjusts accordingly if she notices warning signs

You can keep up with Elise on Instagram @elise.cranny and you find her on the Voice in Sport platform as a mentor.
