HAUTE VOLÉE AND THE NEW NORMAL
With the recent postponement of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, we've been feeling for our elite Track and Field athletes. We reached out to them, and here they answer some of our questions about adjusting to the new normal, self-soothing strategies, and life.
THERESA HAILEY: RACING WITH JOY
Theresa Hailey, aka @runninggingerly, has achieved legend-status in Oiselle circles for her persistent positivity. After an amazing build-up to Boston last year, she had a less-than stellar race, but jogged back to the Oiselle cowbell corner and cheered her face off for the rest of the team for several hours. Her Marathon Olympic Trials race took her to a new level. She was ranked 375th heading into the race, PR'd by 1:26 and finished 77th in 2:42:49, smiling, pumping her arms, and making heart symbols every time she ran through cowbell corner. After the fashion show that night (where she busted some epic dance moves), I asked her for her secret.

Every woman is different. And her shorts? Same. Without further ado, we’d like you to meet the rising stars in our 2020 shorts constellation.
Collaboration Over Competition
The collaborative effort behind what ultimately led to my race in Minnesota is something I do not take for granted. There were a lot of people who checked in, showed up, and led by example for me this year - all of which amplifies my ability to continue believing in and showing up for myself.
Oiselle in 2020
There’s something undeniably powerful about the four-year sports cycle that revolves around the Olympics. Plus, we hear there’s a big election approaching. At Oiselle, we’re jumping into 2020 tucked into a cannonball position, ready to make a noisy and far-reaching splash. What’s cooking for 2020? Below is a starter list – and we hope to see you at any and all!
Volée Highlights of 2019
2019 was certainly another BIG year for the team! There were so many fun moments, events and races that we couldn’t pick just five...so we snuck in a bonus and trust us, it’s a biggie.

Here's to Showing Up
I’d been dreaming and working towards a sub-4 hour marathon for two years. I’d already had three unsuccessful attempts, including a 4:01 finish at the 2018 NYC Marathon. And even though I was frustrated it was taking so long, I refused to give up on that goal.
