Spring is in the air, and we couldn't be more excited to introduce you to the inspiration behind our latest Spring Run collection – the incredible Gabby Schmidt! Gabby is a superstar middle distance and cross country runner and has competed at Nationals as well as the World Cross Country Championships. Her determination and positive attitude are the driving force behind her running goals and we were thrilled to catch up with her recently to hear all about it!
Why do you love running?
“I love running so much because I have found really good friends, and I've been able to have so many experiences that running has brought me”.
Who helped you get to where you are now?
"I think a big part of where I've gotten today is the people that I train with and my coach. They are just really good support the whole way through".
What is some advice you would give to new runners?
"Some advice I have for anyone who's just starting running is don't stress the little things. You'll have so many ups and downs, but it's important to always know that you'll get through bad times"
Where would you like running to take you?
"I would like my running to take me to be able to compete at an American college and then start my running career from there".
What is your favourite piece of IMPI?
"My favourite piece of IMPI at the moment is the flare leggings. They're super comfortable and stylish".
"One thing I love about IMPI's new range, Spring Runs, is that I love the colour pink and it's pink".
