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.

It’s been a minute since we’ve done a little solo check-in, so today it’s just me catching you up on ALL the things.

I’m deep in training for both the Tussey Mountainback Ultra and the New York City Marathon - which are only a week apart - so we’re talking big mileage, long runs, recovery, fueling, hydration, gear, and what it’s actually like trying to balance 70–80 mile weeks with work, life, strength training, and, you know… the podcast.

I’m also giving you the latest on my Team Skinny Pig NYC Marathon fundraising, including the marathon squares fundraiser, and a HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated, bought a square, or sent some encouragement along the way.

And because I can’t do a solo Track without completely changing the subject, we’re also getting into what I’ve been listening to lately, concerts I’ve been to, music I’m currently obsessed with, and of course… the US Open. 🎾

Basically, this is a little life + running + music + tennis catch-up from wherever I am in this very chaotic training block.

Thanks for hanging out with me. ❤️

Candita joins Allie G to talk about the winding path that took her from dance to distance running, and everything she's learned along the way. From navigating injuries and adapting her training to racing everywhere from Cape Town to London and Copenhagen, Candita shares how running has become a way to challenge herself, see the world, and connect with people along the way.

They get into the realities of marathon training, race day nutrition and hydration, unpredictable weather, international race culture, music and playlists, and the emotional experience of running through places that actually mean something to you. Candita also shares what's next, including her goal of breaking five hours in the marathon and running this year’s New York City Marathon with Team Skinny Pig!

A conversation about finding your way into running, rolling with the setbacks, and figuring out what keeps you coming back for more.

Matt Zelaya’s path into endurance sports wasn’t exactly a straight line. He played football through college, competed on American Ninja Warrior, tried Spartan races, and eventually found himself running marathons, completing an Ironman, racing 100-milers, competing in Hyrox, and continually looking for the next challenge.

In this track, Matt and I talk about what drives that constant progression, why he tends to sign up for things that scare him, and what he’s learned from the injuries, setbacks, PRs, and races that haven’t gone according to plan. We also get into how endurance training has changed the way he approaches work and everyday life, and how those experiences have shaped the way he coaches other athletes.
