After finishing second at the 5th Avenue Mile yesterday, Elle Purrier now has her sights set on Doha. 💪
But Purrier, 24, fears she’s getting a little pampered.
Seems like an odd concern. But when she compares her routine to her former life, maybe she has a point. Purrier, who goes by Elle and pronounces it “Ellie,” grew up in Montgomery, Vermont, a few miles from the Canadian border, on a dairy farm that’s been in her family since 1904. Every morning throughout high school, she would rise at 5 a.m. to milk the cows and do other chores—throwing hay bales, taking care of pigs, shoveling out the barn.
That’s in her past, at least for now. Purrier runs for New Balance in Boston, about four hours from her family’s farm. When she goes home to Vermont to visit, she sleeps in later.“I feel like I’ve grown a little soft since I’m not home getting up for chores,” she said in an interview withreally important for me to sleepComing out of high school, she never ran more than 30 miles a week. But she was strong as a horse from the intense physical labor put in each day.
