    Today on the podcast is 2024 Olympian Lauren Ryan! 


    Lauren runs for Under Armour's Dark Sky Distance and represents her home country of Australia. She is currently a 2x National Record Holder and 1x Australian Champion. Lauren has officially been selected for the 2024 Paris Olympics. 


    Before these accolades, Lauren ran for Flordia State University, where she was a multi-time All-American, ACC Champion, and multi-time school record holder. Alyssa represented Australia twice as a junior at the 2016 World Under 20 Championships and 2017 World Cross Country Championships. 


    Lauren has run 4:08 (1500m), 8:42 (3k), 14:57 (5k), and 30:35 (10k). 


    In today's conversation, Lauren takes me through her upbringing in sport, her incredible recent success, what it's like traveling around the world as a pro track athlete, joining Under Armour and their recent surge in the sport, her goals for Paris, and much more!  


    Take the time to be inspired by Lauren's story & wisdom!
