17 days until the New York City Marathon!

Kelly Ransier is back for this year's Road to the 5 Boroughs series! Last year, Kelly was on the pod to chat about running a virtual marathon to get guaranteed entry into this year's New York City Marathon. She's trading in her volunteer jacket this year for a race bib and taking on the 5 boroughs herself.

In this track, we catch up about her training, navigating injuries through cross-training, and learning to trust her own path instead of comparing it to everyone else's. Kelly shares what she's most excited about, her race-morning plans, the magic of finishing the race in Central Park, and the little details she's thinking through before the big day.

Plus, we get into her Jonas Brothers concert experience, a very good hot take on charity race entries, and her pick for The Allie G Show playlist.

Traci Coulter is on The Allie G Show for another stop on the Road to the 5 Boroughs - and this time, she’s getting ready to run her SIXTH NYC Marathon.

We talk about how running became such a huge part of Traci’s life, her journey through the World Marathon Majors, running for mental health and NAMI, the races that have challenged her the most, and what keeps bringing her back to New York year after year.

We also get into the importance of finding your running people, lessons Traci has learned through racing, training and fueling, what makes the Bronx such a memorable part of the NYC course, and of course… the music that gets her through a run.

Another fun conversation as we get closer and closer to the Five Boroughs. 🗽🏃‍♀️

Don Oswalt, founder of My Race Tatts, is on the pod to kick off the Road to the 5 Boroughs Series!

Don’s endurance journey is one of my favorites because he didn’t start out as an athlete. He got into triathlon later in life, went from borrowing a bike and learning how to swim to racing Ironmans, qualifying for Kona, running Boston, and eventually turning a simple Sharpie habit into My Race Tatts.

We get into Don’s journey into endurance sports, the mental side of racing, visualization, self-belief, and what happens when your brain starts telling you that you can’t keep going. We also talk about the mantras Don used to write on his arms during races, and how those little reminders eventually became the idea behind My Race Tatts.

We talk about how My Race Tatts started, why Don calls a mantra a “mental circuit breaker,” how new designs come to life, the community behind the brand, and what’s coming next.

Plus, My Race Tatts is the sponsor of this year’s Road to the 5 Boroughs series, so we get into some of the fun things we have coming up together for the NYC Marathon and beyond.

If you’re looking for a little reminder that you can do hard things, this one is for you.
