I’d love to see a 15-30 min “follow along” strength training video that we could do with you from home.
I am a 67 (almost 68) year old runner in Colorado. You are wise beyond your years. I enjoy watching your journey, and I am so happy that you are happy and making steady progress in recovery. Thanks for helping so many people. :~)
Allie ! Love your videos and your sense of humour ! Keep it up!
Thanks for the vid and sharing yourself!
Keep on the recovery path ☺️. Sounds like you are in a good place in life.
The entire video was awesome! Great to get to know you more . . . looking forward to more! 🤗💯👍
Great video and loved your honest answers to some very personal questions. Keep crushing those workouts!
Allie O 💕 so lovely to have these updates & know that you are doing good. Looking forward to to the next one - live well beauty x
The coolest video I've ever found, thanks.
You’re such a bright light in this world. Keep doing what you find joy in. You make us Alaskans proud. You’re so mature for your age. Power on!
Good morning Allie happy Thursday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
I’m looking forward to seeing you racing (and winning) again. Go Allie 😀
I enjoyed the whole video! Was interesting to learn a bit more of your background and your ideas behind becoming a better/stronger runner. I like many struggle with fitting in strength training even though i know it would benefit my running a lot. Would be great if you could do a video on it 😁 ps we are all proud of you for being so open and strong with your recovery 💪
Would love to see a strength training video! Also- so happy for you and Spencer. Your dynamic in person felt so natural and comfortable. 🥰
This makes me want to cry I can relate "what's the point of having a body if I'm not even enjoying the life I live in it". You're incredible honesty and introspective intellect are much appreciated and brilliant. Thank you.
yes a strength training vid would be super helpful! loved getting to know more about u & ur advice in this vid
Thank you. You made me watch until the very end, and it was time well spent. I think the most difficult question was the 10 year plan, but you answered that well.
Amazing video Allie ...sending you lots of love and good vibes
My favourite part was appreciating the shiny hair compliment. We love you Allie x
I love all the recovery talk as you are such an inspiration! Beautiful inside and out❤
Excellent stuff talking about your period. I have no doubt you'll help other girls out there. Bravo!
Thank you so much for this amazing video! It is so encouraging to see you are doing so well, because I can relate to your story so much. I am also glad you are doing well as a person. So happy for you.
PS: so glad you brought up the period topic. I have been nervous about it throughout my recovery, and it is great to hear it can come back.
I am 51 years old and I am a runner,I am learning a lot about your training, thank you
I was happy you sound interested in the Steeple again, those and Mt. Marathon were just crazy good. I've never ran a Steeple and never will, I suck at it. Great video btw.
You discussed so many topics! All on the serious side until near the end when your love for your dog and his cuteness made you respond in such a way that it made me smile, and just outright laugh. Great way to start my day!
Yes, Georgie never fails to make me smile!
Allie is so much fun to listen to. Hands down she is the best runner on courses most people wouldn't dare run. You know, Alaska mountain goat trails!
I ran for a division I program in the early 90s. The response to any poor race was that we were fat. I eventually developed disordered eating that continued for a few years. I once passed out in a museum and also at work. Those were the rock bottom moments for me, and I was then able to address it and move forward. I still battle the thoughts sometimes and have tried so hard not to pass it to my daughter. Thank you for speaking out Allie and doing your part to try to break this cycle. My favorite part of the video though was when you lit up talking about Georgie. He is adorable!
allie, these are such beautifully straightforward and wise responses! i particularly liked hearing your answer to growing into being a runner and going back in time to address your ED earlier. great video!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed :)
Allie, you and Spencer are two of the most real people I stumbled onto and follow. As a former college runner at the much smaller Division III level, I admire your ability and the tenacity in which you pursue something you are so passionate about. I have focal dystonia now, which has made it challenging for me to run. Watched you rise up when you get knocked down, which inspires me and others to keep on fighting. Beyond that, you guys are honest, approachable, humble and have so much fun together - hard not to root for you. Keep on chasing your dreams.
Just came across your eating recovery vid. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you 🙌
Cougar Mountain Trail Run Series would be a great low key event to do a trail race! The trails are runnable but much more challenging than an xc course.
Allie! great advice. just wanted to say, keep going! I had food avoidance behaviors for about 5 years and am so proud to say that I have been fully recovered for going on 2.5 years now... it is so possible! making any progress (even seemingly small) is such a good thing.
Go you! That is so impressive..a true inspiration.
Whole vid was great! Me thinks you are an excellent you tuber👍
Allie you are just fun to watch.. Your humor and positivity is contagious and I can always use that. :) I look forward to watching you compete in the coming years. Your win at the Millrose games was amazing and I hope you have continued success. You are a truly terrific runner and one of the best/fun personalities I've seen thus far.
This is so king. Thank you so much!
You are very wise for someone so young, grasshopper -- don't let it go to your head. Two questions: how has appearing on RUclips affected your well being, both positive and negative (or neutral)? How closely do you monitor the races of your closest running rivals during the season, and how does your race strategy change by who else is competing? Best wishes.
Pretty good advice Miss Allie!
I’m glad to see you doin well and happy. You look healthy. Georgie wasn’t feeling it today 😂.
God Bless
This is your best video yet. I almost didn't watch it because I like the training videos the best but it was really good. Thank you for the educational information about disordered eating. It's a very important public message.
Thank you for watching!
I think the information you offer on recovery is so valuable for people to hear. Thank you for sharing something so personal. That was my "favorite" part of this informative Q and A. (PS. One of my kids is a HS XC and TF coach, so go you at SPU!).
So much respect for high school coaches!
Thank you love it all!
Teach us about strength training, please! Thanks for sharing how you are - that was the most important question & answer 💓
Just realized I binge watched all of your videos!
love to hear it
So gooooood! Also yes, please make a strength training video :)
Great job👏🏻👏🏻
Great upload. Your personality really came out when you talked about Georgie at the end,,,🎉😊
Allie, I really enjoyed this Q and A video and georgie is so adorable
I know it is so hard to keep working sometimes..but the risk of not being able to run because of my body breaking down definitely keeps me going. I hope that you can continue to find reasons to fight back.
I agree w below 100% (comment) but wanna wish you and your GeorgiE well as it is National Dog Week...I happen to believe to also have the dawg inside you and when you use it will be fun to watch your racing strategy. I also am an older runner... from Wallace Falls, WA Anywho...your are a spark plug and when fine tuned...it will be a hoot to see you compete as long as you have the passion/drive. Have fun and enjoy the journey s.!!
Lowkey been wondering these questions too
Georgie has such beautiful markings❤
My favorite part is that you're recovering and happy.
For me the Pressure to perform really came when I started getting sponsors and a contract was expiring and getting it extended or finding a new sponsor (I was lucky to have had one sponsor that lasted 8 years). Once I retired from competitive the pressure reduced and I could just enjoy it all again.
Fantastic I'd love to see you race some trail races 😃
Favourite part of the video? I loved it all but I would say the part where you said you didn't know what Allie will be doing in 10 years and that you were willing to just keep the response as 'I'm working on figuring it out'. Helped me recognize that it's OK to not know now and just be in the process of figuring it out. Thanks Allie.....love and always appreciate your videos.
I definitely hope it's okay to just be figuring it all out...because that's definitely where I'm at lol
I would really like a video about strength training!!:)😃
Forgot to ask so for next time you do a Q&A I'd love to hear about professional running contracts - how they work, what you have to do, what they give you & expect from you, how you decided who to go with, when to quit, is it enough to live on or do you have to work a job too, etc etc -- obviously some of it is secret squirrel but I'd love to hear about them
That is a good question! I feel like there's a lot of mystery around contracts.
Yes I’m very curious about that as well!
This would be a great topic Allie! ❤
@@kukzmarr Oh yes I forgot about this! I hope she spills the tea, I’ve been so curious
If I can recommend a trail race just to pique your interest, I'd run the Dipsea. It's the oldest trail race in the States, a 7.5 miler in California. A lot of people will push to ultras but a 50k can be a pretty big jump.
I sat through 26mins of this Vlog for an answer to the most imortant question and you dodged it. Aaarghhh!!! Seriously though , great vlog.
haha I hope it was still worth watching!
The running segment
I had asked a former runner turned journalist if she would consider writing a book with
women in mind since they are far more prone to have eating disorders and or disordered eating habits . Well, she declined, so I am wondering if you would feel so inclined ? Certainly what you have experienced over time has given you tremendous insight into dealing with food as a runner .Such a book is in deep need of being written . Poor eating , as relates to
female distance runners seems to be quite prevalent . Also, dealing with injury and recovery.The female runner, I feel ,would welcome such a book . I can think of no one more qualified to write it considering how much you have been through in your running career .Your honesty, bravery and willingness to be so vulnerable has won you great admiration and respect .I feel it would be read by many runners .Thanks for all your fun and informative videos . Best wishes and continued success in your career.
Having good range on the track to the 10k and steeplechase reminds me of Gracin Murphy. U might have the success on the trail running too

I love the doggie name Georgie. I had my own Georgie - his full name was Sir George Alexander of Joliet - Aka - Georgie. He was a Llhasa Apso. Dogs are the best and yours is super cute!
Georgie was my fav part
Hope your 10 month plan includes coming back to Albany to defend the title. Here’s a question why no longer a Brooks Runner, and who will you be running for next?
Would love to hear your strength training routine
If enough people are interested, I'll definitely have to make one!
A "burning desire" maybe but does the steeple correspond best to you particular strengths?
Most college athletes running career ends during or after college. The best strategy to selecting a college is academic goals and scholarship opportunities (if applicable). Think long term life gols first, athletics second.
I agree with this, but I also think that there are a lot of schools that can offer a great academic experience, and the athletic experience might be more individualized.That's just my opinion though.
I have my answer 🌭🐾🙌🏻
What about doing a tedtalk
Great video,covered some thought provoking issues
Haha I would love to give a Ted Talk, just waiting for my invite
I personally would love to see a strength training video. It's not intuitive, how to do it--like how much to lift. You see vids of successful long distance runners lifting surprisingly heavy weights. For example, I remember a social media post where Aisha Praught-Leer was single-leg hip-thrust lifting what looked like an insane amount, with her tiny body. Is this something that naturally talented athletes are just better at, they just have better strength? Or should I be training like a sprinter in the gym if I want to PR in the 5k?
What you do in the weight room definitely depends on what you want to get out of it. If you want to improve maximum strength, running economy, and explosiveness, you will be lifting heavier weights. I do think there's a misconception that distance runners should be lifting low weight and high reps, but that isn't necessarily true.
I would have asked if you ever might compete in longer distances like marathon or ultra
oh my gosh my cute little shloopy shlonker baby ohh u baby boy u are so perfect u r so cute
was my fave part, also do make a strength training vid itd be rly helpful!
the shlooper
i think motivation is harder when you do everything including your running alone. I find motivation really hard because everything is done alone,
Let the dog run around 😃
He can't run around on the carpet because he is still in the process of potty training!
You weren’t involved in the massive storm that Alaska just went through! Typhoon. Read where it was very bad !
yes fortunately may family wasn't impacted. So terrible!
Did a man/woman or men/women come into your life? It seems like the one sure way to loose focus. Finding time for a mate unfortunately usually turns into a distraction. As for running at your level it seems to me that it's more mental then physical. You were too small and frail at your best, don't worry about food and putting on a little weight, turn that added weight into muscle & strength, you already have the staminia and the mental strength, and killer instinct. Don't try and fight through injuries, more often then not it compounds the issue. You're best is still ahead of you, don't give up. I doubt I have to worry about that, you don't look like the type that gives up. Good luck, stay with it!! A fan from Alaska...
I'm currently dealing with mystery hip bursitis. Was training for my next marathon in a month from now and I haven't been able to run in several weeks. Have you ever experienced that? It literally happened overnight. I was feeling really good doing some tempo intervals and the next day I could barely walk out of nowhere
I had hip bursitis my senior year of high school! It was so frustrating. I had to take 6wks off running and go to physical therapy.
***** 10/10
Hmm when I asked you in 2018 after conference you said your dream job is being a physiologist for the Olympic team. So has that changed or would you still want to be that?
I am a older runner, have been running for years, I want to get faster for a 10k what can I do? Luv your videos
I would recommend incorporating threshold and race pace workouts!
Who’s tougher,you or Spencer?
For next time: When are you going to run a marathon?
Any tips for dealing with knee pain? I've been cross training while I'm waiting for it to get better but I'm not sure what caused it in the first place as I was already focusing on strengthening my knees. I don't run too much distance each week so could it be due to doing too much fast sessions and not enough steady long runs?
I would recommend knees over toes guy on. RUclips! He has a bunch of really good, science-backed tips for dealing with knee pain.
@@allie_ostrander Ah thankyou so much will have a look! love your vids :)
“Who’s more high maintenance, Spencer or Georgie? “ I imagine that Spencer is like living with a 2 yr old Irish Setter.
Spence makes my life a lot better than any dog ever could ;)
I can't focus, because of much more important questions: How much longer will "Georgie" struggle? Will he get away? At 3:04 I thought he gave up, but no. How will it end?
Hahha he refuses to be contained
If someone is trying to restrict your eating call the police.
Have you ever thought about running the Western States 100?
Ahem- if you got SO many questions about trail running…. Yo…. Do you not see the signs??? You are a tremendous human AND Alaskan…
1+1=championships
Not saying it's out of the question ;)
I don't think you answered, what you like to do for fun 😊
I had to cut out a lot of questions bc it was getting so long! I like to hike, cook, hang out with friends, watch tv series, etc
@@allie_ostrander Nice, you guys should hike Mt Pilchuck if you get a chance. Great lookout tower at the top with great views on a sunny day! Not too far away either.
My favorite part was when you skipped over the, how is spencer in bed question, letting us know that it's nothing worth mentioning!
Hahah that's not what the lack of response meant ;)
Spencer is potty trained. Humm I guess that means he always puts the toilet seat down. LMAO, unfortunately after 4 years I'm still trying to train my boyfriend 😕
haha keep the training going! For some it takes a bit longer lol
Lowkey been wondering these questions too
