    I watched this video and cried-a cry of release, of catharsis, of love for the broken road to get here. Allie created this documentary using just a few videos and podcast clips--what an artist! I am so in awe of her art and storytelling, and I’m so thankful for her friendship. 20 years from now, her video is how I want to remember this experience. Allie captured it in a way that I didn’t fully process until those tears started flowing.
    Thank you all for your love and support!

      congratulations, you are an inspiration to those of us who run for ourselves, you are inspiration for changing the narrative about LSD (to a degree) with your shorter harder training efforts, and you are a blessing to watch and read as a man, husband and father. Oh, and congratulations on winning and setting a record at Leadville. would love to buy you a pizza if you are up for it. I live in Westminster. Cheers to all. (P.S. Posted this accidentally on Allie's site).

    allie, the fact that you chose to take the time to make a video dedicated to David and his victory when no one would've expected you to speaks volumes about your character, david's character, and the relationship that y'all have built over his time coaching you. Y'all are such bright lights in this sport. I can't wait to see more from this dynamic duo

    Allie, I am almost positive this is the first video of yours that I have seen where you told someone else's story. You did an incredible job, from the editing, to the story telling, to the narration. The video is so well done. It feels like your background is documentary filmmaking and not running. Bravo! ❤❤

  • @SundanceSerenityHideaway
    @SundanceSerenityHideaway 3 месяца назад +41

    I know he’s your coach. You obviously have respect for him.
    I LOVE that you made a video on your channel about someone else and gave them the accolades that they deserve for such an amazing athletic achievement.

    I never really could relate to people who run those crazy ultra races past a marathon's race distance, but this was some incredible storytelling that helped me understand and appreciate it more. What a beautiful video about your coach. I can see the love and appreciation you put into this one. Congratulations David!

  • @latebloomerabroad
    @latebloomerabroad 3 месяца назад +31

    Kara and Nate mentioned in their last video that David Roche won the Leadville 100 that Nate was training for, but I didn't realize it was your coach! He does seem like such a wonderful, supportive, uplifting person, so I'm thrilled that he reached his goal!🏆

    I volunteered at the very first aid station at Leadville so I can hopefully run it next year. Watching David run this course record was so inspiring and amazing to witness. The backstory and storytelling in this video elevate our understanding even more of what David overcame and achieved. Thanks Allie!

    Fantastic and moving tribute! David Roche, and his team, at the top of ultra-distance running. His ability to transcend injury, his dedication to the sport, and his seeming joy inside the "pain cave" -- totally awesome!! A true inspiration!!!

  • @randylazer2894
    @randylazer2894 3 месяца назад +11

    Allie....that was an amazing, beautiful, and emotionally impactful video! Really, really well done. Ok, for your resume, we have professional runner, future Olympic team member, coffee packaging model, bakery store owner, and now, CEO of Allie's Awesome Video's!
    What David did was both epic and legendary. I have been to Leadville and climbed Mt. Elbert, even running at 14,000+ feet of elevation with a backpack. However, people don't know what it is like just doing 2 miles there, let alone 100, and of running uphill for countless miles with 12,000 feet of elevation gain.
    The day after climbing Elbert, and then almost not being able to leave the jacuzzi, as I was really wanting room service delivered to the jacuzzi (for which starvation was the only motivator to leave!), I had some rest and went out for 2 miles at 10,000 feet of elevation. I had basically acclimatized, although not like I would have from being there for 2-3 weeks. After 3/4 of a mile, I was wondering where is that stuff, ohh what is it called....Air! I thought I would easily run around 7:30 pace at 10,000 feet. Nope, it was 8:30, and after 2 miles, I was done...DUN, done!
    I get that people could live there and maybe eventually do regular long runs and not pass out, but doing a marathon, let alone a 100 mile run at that elevation is an entirely different deal, and then to run like David did....that has to be one of the greatest runs in the history of the sport.
    Huge, huge congratulations to David, who had an incredibly inspiring recovery. Running with one arm in a sling for countless miles at high elevation and for long distance....that shows great strength of mind.
    So, I guess if David ever retires, maybe Kipchoge will meet your criteria for being a pacer? Provided he doesn't slow down too much more!
    Allie...that was just a fantastic and heartfelt video. Just excellent, and I thank you for sharing. 👏👏👏

    Absolutely amazing! Congratulations David! I am currently training to do my second marathon. I fractured both femoral necks and have three screws in each side...I have done a lot more strength training and a lot less running! I am excited to take on the Chicago Marathon the beginning of October! I ran 4 half marathons this past year when my doctors told me I should never run more than a 5k again. I am happy I listened to my body and came up with a plan with a personal trainer to still make it to my goal!

    I loved how he balanced the plain fact that it is not about the competition and the time with the beauty of having a goal and a standard to aim for. The pure joy of running, the transcendence of the pain cave, somehow include the stopwatch. Imo. Great video, thanks!

I hope this is just the first of many from Allie Ostrander Productions! ❤👌👏
