    Angel Piccirillo on resilience in the face of track training group changes

    Angel Piccirillo on resilience in the face of track training group changes

    Angel Piccirillo graduated from Villanova University with a clear plan in mind: run fast, secure a contract, join a training group, represent national teams, and repeat the process. However, little did she expect that, despite being a 9-time All-American and graduating in 2017, she would find herself on her fourth training group in just six years, finally hitting her stride as a professional athlete in 2023 setting a personal best in the 1500 in 4:07 this past April.



    In this episode of More Than Running, we delve into Angel's remarkable journey, beginning with her training in Philadelphia alongside Ajee Wilson and Raeyvn Rodgers. From there, she transitioned to the Oiselle Little Wing Group under the guidance of coach Lauren Fleshman, followed by a stint with the Oregon Track Club in Eugene, Oregon. Now, she finds herself in North Carolina, training with the Puma Elite Training group under the coaching of Alistair and Amy Cragg. This journey would have tested even the most resilient of athletes, requiring immense persistence and the challenge of maintaining a long-distance relationship with her husband, Australian Olympian Patrick Tiernan. Through it all, Angel's unwavering self-belief in her own potential has been a driving force.

    Lauren Fleshman wants to change the future of women's sports - A Good For a Girl book conversation

    Lauren Fleshman wants to change the future of women's sports - A Good For a Girl book conversation

    In this episode of More Than Running, I FINALLY sat down with Lauren Fleshman to discuss her new book Good For a Girl. I believe this book should be mandatory reading for anyone who coaches female athletes, is an athlete, or cares about improving the sporting landscape for all. Lauren's experience as an athlete competing at the highest professional level is unique, but her overall experience as a female athlete facing issues of body image, anxiety, and self-doubt is not. I hope you enjoy this episode and can read Good for a Girl!
