'If I could go back, I would have done a lot of things differently. I would have had more fun. I would have eaten more. I wouldn’t have pushed myself so much.” -Ashley Brasovan
Growing up in Florida, Brasovan excelled at swimming throughout childhood, then tried running for the first time when she was in middle school. Standing under 5-feet, she was petite and wicked fast. By the time she joined her high school cross-country team as a freshman in 2005, she was already one of the best runners in Florida.
“I was really competitive from the start,” she said. “I worked really hard, but I also did a lot of damage to my body. I had a pretty bad in high school—I was obsessed with what I put into my body, whether it was healthy or not. I didn’t think about what would happen if I didn’t get enough calories.”Brasovan said that later, after consulting with nutritionists in college, she began recovering from her eating disorder by committing to a nutrition plan that focused on getting enough calories to replenish the energy her body was expending, regardless of what foods they came from.
When she arrived on Duke’s campus in 2009, Brasovan didn’t know that injuries would prevent her from competing in a race until midway through her junior year. She suffered from tendonitis in her hamstring and Achilles, four femoral stress fractures , and a metatarsal stress fracture, among many more minor tweaks, which kept her off the track for sometimes months at a time.“Every time I was cleared to run, I would get back into it too fast, then get hurt again,” she said.
After okay, but not superb, junior and senior year cross-country and track seasons, Brasovan graduated in 2013 with a degree in oceanography and geology, then stayed at Duke to pursue a master’s degree in energy management. During this time, she took some time off running and focused on finding herself outside of the sport that had defined her for so long.
