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.

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the Running Effect podcast with Dominic Schleader.
0:05.4	I'm your host Dominic, and today's podcast is brought to you by Under Armour.
0:09.2	I'm actually speaking with an Under Armour athlete.
0:11.7	Her name is Lauren Ryan, and she was recently named to the 2024 Olympic team for Australia.
0:18.2	She's currently a two-time national record holder, a one-time Australian
0:21.5	national champion. And again, as I just mentioned, Lauren has been officially selected for the
0:26.6	24 Paris Olympics, which is so exciting. I think what makes her story so cool is when I list off
0:33.0	those things, you would think she probably had the best career up until that point. But Lauren ran for
0:38.6	first Villanova and then Florida State in college and she actually never made an NCAA championship,
0:44.1	which is remarkable. So her story is so inspiring. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with her.
0:49.4	I learned a lot about her story and gained a lot of wisdom and insights from someone who is up and coming
0:55.9	in the sport and just absolutely crushing it. And I can't wait to see all that she'll accomplish
0:59.6	this summer and in the years to come. If you do enjoy today's episode, please consider sharing
1:04.1	it with a friend or a family member or a teammate, someone who you think would find value and
1:08.3	benefit from it. The easiest way in which this podcast can grow is word of mouth. So please consider doing that if you would like to help us out. I'd
1:15.3	really appreciate it. And then my only other note for you before hopping into today's episode.
1:19.7	As I mentioned, today's episode is brought to you by Under Armour. A shoe I actually wore for my
1:24.6	first marathon is a shoe I want to talk about today. It's the Under Armour Infinite
1:28.7	Elite. It is going to be my go-to running shoe this summer. And even though we're not officially in the
1:34.2	summer, it feels like it with the weather. It has been my kind of go-to trainer. And it's funny because I
1:39.5	actually did a track workout with two friends today. And I've had both of them try it on for the cool down.
1:44.9	And they were both blown away. I think a lot of people have a misconception that Under Armour
