On the Laces: Watch Olympic Steeplechaser Val Constien's Journey to the US Championships
Episode 1 | On The Laces: Out Now
Two-time US Olympian Val Constien is back and Stryd is keeping her dialed in every step of the way.
In episode 1 of the On The Laces series, Val takes us inside a double session day at the University of Colorado Potts Track. A six-mile tempo in the morning, flat 300s and steeplechase barrier work in the afternoon, all building toward one goal: the US Championships Steeplechase in New York.
But there is more to Val's story than race prep. After bilateral ACL reconstruction surgery in 2023, she uses Stryd balance metrics to monitor the imbalances that come with that kind of surgery. When the data flags things getting too stiff or too imbalanced, she knows exactly what to do. Smart, data-driven training at the highest level.
This is just the beginning. Subscribe to the Stryd YouTube channel to follow Val's journey to the US Championships this summer and catch Episode 2 of her road to the starting line.
