Summary

Today on the podcast is the top-ranked high school girl in the country, Rylee Blade!

Before she got into the sport, she played soccer for 10 years at a highly competitive level.

In her short time as a runner, she has lit the high school world on fire. She was the CIF State Champion in the 1600 and 3200m in 2023, and won the 3200m again in 2024. She was also the 2023 CIF XC State Champion and will look to defend her title in 2024. This past spring, she became the 2024 Nike Outdoor Nationals 5k Champion.

So far this season, she won the prestigious Woodbridge Invitational running 15:20.3 to set a meet and national record by eight seconds.

Rylee has run 2:14.61 (800m), 4:46.54 (Mile), 10:02.19 (3200m), and 15:20.3 in the 3 Mile XC.

Rylee is committed to run for Flordia State University next fall.

In today's conversation, Rylee takes me through her journey in sport, her national-record and what went into it, how she deals with setbacks, her ambitions for the rest of her season and future, the training she's been doing, and much more!

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the Running Effect podcast with Dominic
0:06.0	Shleader. I'm your host Dominic, and today on the podcast, I am joined by Riley Blade from the great
0:11.4	state of California. Riley, I think on paper, is the top high school girl coming into this
0:17.0	cross-country season. At least, I believe she's ranked number one in a bunch of the rankings at the moment.
0:22.0	And that came after she ran a national record in the girls' three-mile run in high school
0:26.5	running 1520.
0:28.1	And I want to say she broke the previous record by like over 10 seconds.
0:31.9	And she beat a star-studded field that included Jane Hedegrand, Sadie Englehart, and many others. So I knew I wanted to get her on
0:38.0	the podcast, hear her stories, and hear her ambitions for the future. In addition to that 1520 on the
0:43.3	grass, she's run 1002 in the 3,200, 446 in the mile, and 214 in the 800. She was also the 24
0:51.0	CIF 3200 state champ, the 24 Nike Outdoor Nationals 5K champion, and is currently committed
0:57.5	to run for Florida State University. In today's conversation, we talk about Woodbridge,
1:03.1	her upbringing in the sport and playing soccer before ultimately getting into the sport of
1:07.6	running her ambitions for the future and so much more. I hope you all
1:11.3	enjoy this conversation. And if you do, please consider hitting the follow button and five-star
1:15.5	review button. If you have not already done so, legitimately takes like five seconds. I know I ask
1:20.3	you guys to do it all the time, but it truly makes a difference. So without further ado, I hope
1:24.3	you all enjoy my conversation with the one and only Riley Blade.
1:30.1	Riley Blade, welcome to the Running Effect podcast. How are you doing? I would say this afternoon,
1:34.0	you're three hours behind me. How are you doing this morning? I'm good. How about you?
1:38.3	I'm doing really good. First question for you right off the bat. What is a normal day in your life
1:42.6	look like? Senior year, founding year of high
