Hey everyone, I'm excited to be a part of Endorphins and connect with fellow runners who share my passion for fitness and setting new outrageous goals. My name is Stephanie Smolen, and I'm currently based in NYC.

I've been an avid runner since high school, but currently on a mission to complete the 6 majors before I turn 30, (chillin' at 27 🙂). I also have a goal to run a race in every state, and I'm already at 15 states and counting, so if you'd like to join or have any recommendations, I'm all ears!

You'll often find me running in Central Park or on the West Side Highway, and I'm a regular at the West Village Athletic Club, where I work as a Pilates instructor and personal trainer. I've run several races, including the NYC marathon, Miami marathon, and numerous half marathons.

In the coming months, I'm gearing up for the Rocky Mt. Half in July, followed by the Chicago marathon and Philadelphia half in the fall. And who knows, maybe I'll even meet my future husband while out on a run, (insert tiktok discussion here)

I'm excited to connect with all of you, share my experiences, and learn from your journeys as well. Let's motivate each other to reach our fitness goals and make the most of this amazing running community!
