Emily Infeld is a professional runner, and has been running since she was young. As an energetic kid, she just wanted to be moving. While she tried other sports like basketball, soccer, softball, gymnastics(even Irish dancing!), she settled on running. Her father was a road racer, and she would go running with him while he was training. She got a bronze medal in 2015 at the Beijing World Championships, made the 2016 US Olympic team, and was named fifth in the world in 2017. Emily has overcome injuries, staying dedicated to her training, nutrition, and overall health.
From Child Prodigy to Professional Athlete
Emily is truly a natural-born runner. She completed her first 5k when she was eight years old, (where she won competing against grown adults), falling in love with running and competing. She started doing track and cross-country more seriously in middle school, and went on to hold a state record in Ohio during her junior year of high school, holding that record for almost 20 years (it was just broken in 2024!). After high school, Emily got a scholarship to run at Georgetown, where she met her (still current) coach, Chris Meltenberg. She made the World Cross Country team, and during a 3k in Italy, suffered a sacral stress fracture. After 12 weeks of continuing to train, her doctor told her she needed to take 10 weeks completely off from running—a feat that is not easy for a professional athlete. After healing and training back up, she suffered another sacral fracture on the opposite side, starting the healing process over again. Even after these injuries, Emily went on to win the bronze medal at the Beijing World Championships in 2015, and made the world team again in 2022.
Nutrition and Supplements: Keys to Health
After her injuries, Emily became concerned, especially as a woman, about bone health and longevity.
She was introduced to Previnex in 2022, and quickly fell in love with Joint Health PLUS®. After years of training, injury recovery, and even a hip replacement in 2019, Emily found that Joint Health PLUS® helped her joints maintain comfort and mobility. She describes Previnex as an added tool in her wellness tool box that she can pull from to ensure she’s getting the right nutrients to support her overall health. “I’ve talked to David (our CEO) a lot about the multivitamin and using Omega, Joint Health PLUS®, and the probiotic—it all works together,” Emily told us. “For me, it’s just an easy thing to do to make sure my energy is feeling good.”
“I have really tried to dial in on my nutrition,” Emily shared with us. “Fueling is so crucial. Making sure you’re getting enough nutrients is crucial. That’s part of why I love being with Previnex, to make sure I have everything I need and I’m giving my body all of the good stuff.”
Emily’s Routine
In addition to training and competing, Emily relies on a consistent nutrition and supplement routine:
AM: Multivitamin, Omega Pure PLUS, Previnex Probiotic
PM: Multivitamin, Omega Pure PLUS
