Bonus Episode! Episode 46: The Times Don't Own You: A Conversation with Allie Kieffer

What a treat to talk with one of our very favorite professional runners, Allie Kieffer! We decided to release this as a bonus episode on Wednesday because who couldn't use a little Allie advice during quarantine? We want to apologize for the audio in our voices (not Allie's). We had some technical issues with our Zoom audio while recording, and with some of our questions, you'll hear an echo. Bear with our voices because Allie's is loud and clear. Some background about Allie: A native of West Islip, New York, Allie ran for Wake Forest University and Arizona State before running professionally in 2010. Following a hiatus, Allie returned to professional running after placing fifth at the 2017 NYC Marathon in 2:29:39 and signing with Oiselle and Asics. Since then, Allie has become a role model for runners with her unique approach to running, training and life. Her transparency and empathy comes through in this interview during which she discusses how she approaches her coaching, personal obstacles, and the pressures that she has encountered as a professional athlete, including in the social media arena. Now residing in Austin, Texas, Allie is not only a talented runner, but she is a talented coach and shares some of her tips for approaching training during the pandemic.
