Day in The Life of A Pro Runner || Worlds prep, hard workout, mobility routine, & strength training

In this video, I show a full day in the life of a professional runner on the track and trails. I show how I fuel my workouts, my daily mobility routine, a hard hill repeats and threshold training workout, my strength training circuit, and other daily activities. I am less than a week out from my final race of the season: the Golden Trail Series World Final in Switzerland! #AllieOstrander #TrailRunning #GoldenTrailSeries

“Challenging myself is such a privilege, and it’s something I love to do.” I love this - thank you for sharing your mindset with us!

FloTrack is streaming the Grand Final. Can't to watch you crush it. 🏃‍♀

I am so excited to watch you at worlds! Re: pigeon pose - if you bend your knee more and bring your foot closer toward your pelvis (rather than getting that 90 degree angle), you might find the pose more accessible (and you're still stretching those major muscle groups). You can also place a yoga block under yourself and work from there. As a distance runner and yoga teacher who focuses on yoga for athletes, I can tell you that the majority of runners I've seen cannot come close to the 90 degree angle! Some is how we build up the musculature in the body, but some of that angle is also based on the shape of our bones (which is genetic). So don't say you can't do pigeon pose - you're doing it the way your body can, which is perfect!

Thanks for sharing your mobility routine. Big thumbs up per your mention of the roller. That allowed me to run marathons where I didn't finish looking like I was afflicted with some neurological disorder! I was always having the IT band get super tight, with huge pain in the knees for the last 10 miles, but just a few minutes twice a day was miraculous.

I think you are in amazing shape, likely the best of your life, as you have a tremendous base combined with countless miles uphill at elevation and great track workouts. Enjoy the spectacular views and the amazing terrain, and have an absolutely awesome race!

Mature cheddar.
Leave it all on the trail this weekend!! My first 50k is coming up soon. Thank you for sharing your love of running. It means so much to me! 🌲 🌳 ❤

Cheese!! Aged Vermont cheddar or real Danish Harvarti - both are great. Good luck in Switzerland - we are so rooting for you. You choose your 'hard' and it's completely paying off. No matter what, you have already won. Enjoy every minute, even the hills!

[christinabutterworth]

Good luck this weekend, keep on smashing it as you have all season. Look forward to hearing your next project. ❤

Best of luck with the World Final, Allie! We’re cheering you on from all around the globe 🥳 And believe me, as someone who mainly focuses on lifting and treats running as my secondary priority, the mobility guide is HUGELY appreciated!

9:31 Gruyère / Greyerzer is my favorite. It is slightly salty and spicy. Best Fondue mix is Moitié-moitié (Gruyère and Vacherin). Other specialities are "Hobelkäse" (hard cheese in thin sliced rolls), "Tête de moine" (Medium cheese in waved flower leaves) and Raclette.

Stop everything! Allie just posted a new video! ❤

feta! can't wait to watch the GTWS final! Go, Allie!

[janetstorm]

You ROCK, my sister, I am so inspired by you, but also so happy for you have such an amazing and successful year of competition. I love your "day in the life". I love running but I hate stretching. I have to get better with that, hehehe. Congratulations of your incredible year and good luck in your final world championship trail race. I am so looking forward to your big announcement and following you next year ❤

[ellenmoeller]

Smoked gouda! Good luck Allie! You’re so strong and ready to rock this!

[magicboy]

I've been looking for a good running stretch routine for a while, thanks for showing it!

[rrrrrrtt]
