  • Summary

  • Today on the Runna Podcast, we’re joined by Colleen Quigley, an Olympic steeplechaser, model, and our very own Runna coach who embodies resilience and balance in both sport and life. Known for her iconic “Fast Braid Fridays,” Colleen shares her journey of grit and growth—on and off the track.


    We talked about:

    • Nature vs. Nurture: How growing up with supportive parents shaped her running journey.
    • Making Sacrifices as an Athlete: and the choices she’s made along the way.
    • Balancing Modelling and Running: The challenges and joys of straddling two demanding careers while staying true to herself.
    • Dealing with Injury: The mental and physical tools she uses to navigate setbacks and come back stronger, including the importance of patience and self-care.


    Colleen’s story is a testament to perseverance, adaptability, and the power of a supportive community.
