In episode fifty-three of The Running Effect, I speak with Vanessa Fraser. Vanessa is a very accomplished runner who runs for Nike & the Bowerman Track Club. She most notably holds personal bests of 31:52 (10k) and 14:48 (5k). In high school, Vanessa was a two-time state champion in the state of California and helped her team to reach the state tournament for the first time in school history. During her time at Stanford, she helped her team finish runner-up twice in the DMR and still holds the school record of 15:09 in the 5k. Vanessa's college coach Chris Miltenburg would tell his athletes to "leave the team in a better place than you found it". Vanessa certainly did that and her impact on the Stanford program is still felt to this day. After Vanessa graduated, she signed with Nike and The Bowerman Track Club.
In this episode we dive deep into Vanessa's career; the ups, the downs, and everything in-between! Vanessa has battled a lot of adversity in her career, from massive Achilles surgery to not performing as well as she would have liked to in many races. Vanessa shares invaluable insights on confidence, trying to be process-oriented, learning from teammates, goal setting, and so much more! Vanessa embodies the definition of grit. Grit as defined by renowned psychologist Angela Duckworth is having, "passion and perseverance for long-term goals." Vanessa's passion and perseverance for the sport of running is truly felt in this episode.
I personally can't wait to see what the future holds for Vanessa!
