In our society, when women are seen as driven or passionate or athletic, that can be seen as a negative.

Like me, she\u2019s an alumna of Albuquerque High School and was coached by my dad, Doug Dorame. In high school, Alisa had three-straight top-10 finishes at the NM State Cross Country 5A Championships, including a third-place finish as a junior. She was also a member of the 1,600-medley AHS relay team my dad coached a few years ago, which broke the state record (4:11.10) with Alisa running the 800m anchor leg. In this conversation, we catch up about Alisa\u2019s recently launched podcast, Running Start, as well as life as college student-athlete during a pandemic. She\u2019s had to adjust to so many things over the past year\u2013 from solo training to staying social while not being physically on campus. Now, she\u2019s back in Boulder ready for year two! She shares with us her advice for aspiring collegiate runners and gives us some tips on how she stays organized, uninjured, and mentally focused.   In This Episode: Oiselle | Running Apparel for Women Oiselle\u2019s Women Run the Vote 2.0 Virtual Relay Alisa Meraz-Fishbein \u2013 University of Colorado XC Profile Running Start Podcast, Episode 1 - Sage Hurta Grounded Podcast, Episode 14 - Beth Wright I\u2019ll Have Another with Lindsey Hein Podcast Let\u2019s Run Track Talk Podcast This American Life Podcast Red Oaks | Season 1 (on Amazon Prime)   Follow Alisa Meraz-Fishbein & Running Start Podcast: Instagram: @alisamfish Twitter: @alisamfish Listen to Running Start Podcast   Follow Grounded Pod: Instagram: @groundedpod Twitter: @groundedpod Facebook: facebook.com\/groundedpodwithdinee   Subscribe, Listen, & Review on: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Soundcloud | Stitcher   Music by Jacob Shije (Santa Clara Pueblo, NM).
