    Thank you for this video and your honesty. I am a freshman collegiate XC/TF athlete and am facing stress related injuries for the first time due to the adjustment to new training. It is so frustrating to demonstrate patience and feel like you are not seeing any results. I'm currently at the "on the elliptical while your teammates are training" phase and it sucks. But that doesn't mean you can't stay fit and be strong. So I just keep telling myself that. Thank you for being a reminder to always persevere.

      I know exactly how you feel. Hang in there the best you can & remember that the cross training you're putting in will really pay off when you return to running. Thanks so much for watching :)

    Nice to hear about your highs and lows. I guess it underlines the fact that it isn't easy being an athlete and takes a great amount of discipline and perseverance in order to succeed at the end of the day. Keep up the good work!

    Wake is like 30 minutes from my home and a dream school, so awesome to see someone one of the Abrahamson sisters went there. The athletes were really nice, I raced a boy from Scotland in the 4x4 and he acted like he wasn't going to be very fast but completely left me lmao.

    I appreciate you sharing the difficulties that you have experienced as a collegiate athlete/being an athlete in general. I have been a long distance runner since high school, did numerous races including two marathons. During my time training for a second marathon, I was not as consistent and when it was time to perform - my knee started giving me serious trouble at about mile three. I finished, but I have not returned to take on those distances since then. I have definitely gotten faster, but it is tough coming back from that. Now a triathlete, slowly building up speed and distance. One day an Iron Man. Just wanted to say that whenever I hear the stories of great athletes like yourself, and your sisters, it is inspiring :)

    Thank you for your insight, Ellie! May you please make a video talking about how you started your triathlon career, and how the pro competition circuit works? Thanks!

      Thank you! I liked the campus and the people I met on the team - just liked Wake more haha :)

    what mileage did u do when u were a D1 runner? and how much do u do now as a triathlete?

    • @EllieAbrahamson
      @EllieAbrahamson  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It varied a lot - around 50-55 my first 3 years and then 65-70 my senior year. I do much much less now as a triathlete since I'm swimming and biking a ton!

    I know that you’re pursuing and have an interest in becoming a professional athlete in the Triathlon and I’m just wondering how the transition from a College athlete and into working towards becoming a professional athlete works. With sponsorships and exactly how one qualifies to the “professional athlete” level....I’m not very educated in that and would love to see a video about it. I am going into my first year of college running and wanted to know about becoming a professional athlete to see if I would want to pursue being an athlete even further out after College and wanted to know how it has been for you so I can become a bit more educated in the topic. Thanks so much and I’m so glad oh started a channel!!! 👍🤪

    Great video Ellie. Thanks for posting and hope you score a few sponsors soon. Reach out to Kirsten Kasper; you have very similar running backgrounds (Georgetown) and she is now an incredible Team USA Triathlete. Video suggestion: Workout Wednesday for sure :)

    Let’s hear more about your triathlon. Is this something you’re perusing on your own or has USAT recruited you with your background in athletics?
