Episode 23 - Dr. Felicia [Guliford] Taylor

This week I had the pleasure to speak with Dr. Felicia Taylor, but you may know her as Felicia Guliford. During her New Mexico running career she dominated cross country and distance events in track. We look back at some of that success, as well as her time at Tennessee dealing with some success and injuries. She talks about RED-S, trusting her coaches, and how she has used her knowledge to help her runners and how she is still helping female athletes. She is involved in Truth-Spin, to get athletes colleges exposure (typically the native population, but not exclusively), and what the next project is.

 

It was a wonderful talk and I learned a lot about what kept her motivated and focused through the ups and downs in her career and beyond. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

As Dr. Taylor said, use this time to flip your mindset. Coaches will still be recruiting, so get out there and do the work. That works as well for those that are not high schoolers looking to be recruited. Just get out and get working.

 

In the meantime, enjoy the monsoons and keep running, New Mexico.
