You are literally the most inspiration female runner I know. Allie,as a runner myself,(though obviously no where near your time range😅) I’m so glad you decided to begin talking about this ❤it means so much. GOOD LUCK AT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS! Hope you do amazing and you will (:
I am a high school xc runner. This year my times were slower than last year which made reallly depressed. Watching you I learned that it’s okay to not have linear progression and you really helped get me through a tough time in my life. Thank you Allie ❤️
One of my favorite movie quotes is from Rocky Balboa. “It ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!” I think that quote adequately reflects the determination you have demonstrated in order to accomplish your goals. Good luck at Worlds.
Allie, usually no one has anything nice to say about the algorithm, but I was so lucky the day you were dropped into my feed. I am a cyclist, not a runner but grew up in sports where being small was prized, emphasized and fear of growing or gaining ominously warned against. As an adult, work as a trainer and I see the ramifications of this type of ideology in so many women. Your ED coming out video was the first one I saw and I have followed ever since. Allie, the work you are doing on and off the track is so important. I believe you are becoming an important figure for so many young athletes. We are with you at Worlds and wherever the non linear path happens to take you, keep bringing us along. (You’re becoming a damn good documentary maker, too!) You are truly a treasure❤
Tears filled by eyes watching the last montage. You’re such an inspiration, Allie. Thank you for not giving up on yourself, because through your grit and determination, through your victory over an ED, you’ve inspired others to not give up on themselves. Your journey is so powerful and beautiful in its own way. Much love ❤
This made me cry happy tears. You don’t know me, but I’ve been rooting for you every step of the way. I’m also in ED recovery and a runner who is trying to do things right to finally get to the start of the NYC Marathon next November (after four ED related deferrals). You inspire me daily. Go get ‘em, Allie. ❤
I am wishing you the best for NYC this November! I believe in you, and just remember that no matter how many tries it takes, once you get to that start line it will be worth it!
This video made me tear up and it truly hit me to my core! As a former runner and as someone who has been through ED treatment, I see so much of myself in you. Your vulnerability and willingness to show up is truly admirable. I know how hard ED recovery is and how hard it is to find a new identity outside of the eating disorder. I am so incredibly proud of you! Good luck at worlds 🎉
"Even though the effort is exhausting, giving up and starting over would be far worse" 😭 You legend, thank you for being here and putting in the work to deliver your message. Shameless way to live life on your own terms.
My daughter (23) just graduated Marine Corp Officer Candidate School and I cried when I got to give her her first salute. I'm crying now just as proud of you for how far you have come over these years. Go make yourself proud at worlds and we will be right there with you!!!❤❤❤
Hi there, I am an older woman and love your videos. I think I found you just from watching videos on how to run successfully. Anyway I find that I look forward to your videos for a variety of reasons so I thought I would share with you how special I think you are. As an older person I know that your parents must be so proud of you for the person you are becoming, as a mate I suspect your boyfriend knows he has a treasure on his hands, as a follower I love your wit, intelligence, and vulnerability. You are obviously extremely smart so whatever you ultimately do those around you are gonna be lucky. Can't wait to see how you do in this next competition and thank you for sharing your experiences.
David is amazing, Allie. I would imagine he has sat down and told you that he has looked over your achievements, your training, etc etc and has determined that you are capable of a lot still. He isn't one to make that up. I don't know him personally but have listened to countless interviews with him over the last 10+ years, as I have with many coaches and trainers in the trail/ultra world. Just keep on believing in yourself. Sometimes people will doubt you, including this guy, but so fuckin' what. You will show us all.
So proud of you, Allie. You battled demons that knocked you off your feet, and found a way to pursue your passion and build a better version of yourself. An eating disorder. Injuries. Self doubt. There were lots of hurdles, but you never quit. The lessons you taught go beyond running. Stand tall at the starting line. You earned your place there. When the gun goes off, smile really big and then run with a spirit that can’t be broken.
I have followed your story for years and it is so inspiring to see all you’ve gone through and all you’ve accomplished despite that. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your story. I was worried my disorder would be the end of my running career, but you helped show me what I needed to see- you can come back stronger and healthier .
You are so positive and inspiring! As someone who was never into running I somehow still stumbled upon and fell in love with your channel. And you know what…I just started running! Good luck at worlds, but whatever happens, you’re still awesome.
Good luck at Championships, Allie! I can hardly wait to see the race, and no matter the outcome, please know that I admire you so much for never giving up. You have been an inspiration to me and so many others. We are all rooting for you!
This was so powerful and well done. I found myself tearing up at the end right with you. I'm currently in an ED relapse and your story of continuous courage and resilience continues to inspire me over and over again. Thank you, Allie, you touch more lives than you know
Allie, in my opinion this is your best TH-cam video ever. This is awesome! I love ❤you Allie!!! Allie!!! Allie!!! Allie!!! Now onto the 2024 Cross Country World Championship. Let's shock the World, Allie!
Thanks for sharing the path with us in humility, with depth and a real strength of character. All the girls who dream about athletic success (in the US, but also elsewhere in the world) should hear about your story to make sure they have their goals right. The last sequence made me think of that Camus quote (I am freely translating from French so it might be a little off) - "In the heart of winter, I finally realized that deep inside me lie an invincible summer" - this might be a little different from his meaning, but applies very well to your strength. Good luck at the WC!!
i struggled with injuries and my mental health throughout my high school xc and track career and got to the point where I hung up my running shoes for 5 years after graduating. I've been easing back into it over the course of the last year and a half or so, but am now injured again after trying to take on my first real training block. This channel has been such a source of inspiration and information in how to mentally and physically deal with these kinds of setbacks. You're the kind of voice in the running community that I wish I had at as a teenager. Keep up the hard work; you're really doing something great here. Go crush it at world's!
Listening to you talk about the change from being ashamed on the start line, to being proud based on your work was really inspiring. We should all be proud of the work we have done to achieve the goals we have in our life. Wishing you the best on your continuing running journey, and hoping you can continue to inspire many athletes.
It is indeed NOT the end of your journey! Sometimes our goals change because of things that happen in our life. You are very brave to share your personal struggles with ED. You are an inspiration to create a platform to share and inform the community about your ED, ongoing recovery all the while continuing your passion for running. I have followed you for a long time because I love running and I appreciate your content!!! No matter the outcome of every race you do, you will always be a winner! You have a lot of love and support! And that’s winning at life! 💗
Allie, you are a true inspiration for those overcoming adversity, and for those who inspire to challenge themselves. Good luck on Saturday. I'll be watching. Your fans are with you. 💪👍
You will be successful in any running event and any life event with that positive outlook and the amazing team you have surrounded yourself with. This team includes your family, Spencer, Georgie, and many others. I would wish you good luck, but you don't need luck.
Rock on Allie! The roller-coaster path of your career so far has definitely been difficult. It shows the depth of your strength and passion to come back and go after the next goal each time. You can reach your goals and more. And you deserve it! As I've begun my ultra running journey, I'm learning, also the hard way, patience. Patience will get me where I hope to go. Continue to love yourself and believe in yourself, and on race day, feel the joy and dig deep. As Matt Fitzgerald would say, how bad do you want it? It is our minds that limit our physical capabilities. When it gets tough in the race, you can get over it, you've done it before, you've put in the work, you are ready, and you can crush it! Good luck and have fun! Cheering you on from afar!!!
Great job and so happy for you. Seems as if you’re creating your own happy ending that you choose for yourself. Best of luck in your race and health. Whatever the result you have a lot to be proud of.
All the tears 😭😭😭 I recovered from an ED 15 years ago and not a day goes by that I’m kind to my body but athletics help a little bit more each day, and content like this helps a lot 💛
Happy, proud and beautiful tears for you Allie. You and this journey are such an inspiration to us all. Thank you for sharing. Cannot wait to watch the very best version of you show up at the Worlds start line! Go get after those dreams girl!
You inspire me. I’m going to start back trail running once I’m cleared. I’ve had a hysterectomy so I have to wait until I have permission to run again. I’m also going to attempt an ultramarathon in June next year. :-) ❤Thankyou Allie Love from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
What a privilege it has been to watch you evolve, adapt, grow, change, mold, into the best version of you - which is the you that is showing up for yourself at that start line!
I have felt so uncomfortable in my body and unworthy of racing and I can’t stress how much your words mean. I don’t give up because I love it and therefore I have to fight, and I see that in what you do too. Thank you for being you Allie, you are a force of nature.

i am so freaking proud of you allie, as an person recovering from an ed and a person who loves running so much this is so special. i am grateful for your videos. i wish you all the best good luck beautiful person
I have been watching your channel for years, and I find you incredibly inspiring, and so authentic. I cannot wait for you to toe the line at worlds and have another experience of being proud of yourself, working hard, and doing your best! You rock Allie.
Found you through David Roche’s social media. Listening to his and Megan’s positivity in their podcast has really motivated me and changed my approach toward my own running. I’m so far from your level, but am glad to see his methods are working from us amateurs all the way up to badass runners like yourself! You are amazing!
Go get 'em, Allie! You're gonna go out controlled, settle in, get your bearings, keep your composure,... then halfway through you're gonna see that people are already starting to come back to you, and you're gonna start picking 'em off, one at a time. You're gonna finish strong, end up with a very solid place, and it's gonna be a great confidence boost you can carry into the spring and summer. (And Weini's gonna be top ten, and that's gonna be an extra boost to all of you.) You go, Girl!
It is important that you keep telling your story. The importance of good coaching and advice can’t be overestimated. I can’t help but think how different Mary Cain’s career might have been with good coaching. Keep putting out the word.
The end 😭 beautiful, so happy to have been following your journey for the past two + years. Can’t wait to see where the next bit of the story brings you!
I am definitely not a pro runner, but an athlete who has gotten into running in my 20s. You allow me to have so much grace for myself, I had to walk away from college soccer because of my mental health and continuously getting hurt (college soccer had a lot of the same issues you share about your ncaa experience). I am about to run my first half in 5 years and have been dealing with some micro injuries and your page always reminds me things are not linear and it’s okay if a timeline changes! Thank you for sharing your life and passion with us!
It’s the journey rather than the race that’s important. It’s about the experiences we have and how we learn and grow from them. You have amazing determination and are such an example of doing the work that changes your ultimate trajectory. You had a lot of detours but now you’re here with a much stronger mind, body and spirit, able to truly appreciate and value this experience. You can’t say you can’t do it because you’re actually doing it!
Amazing video Allie! You’ve told your story brilliantly. Your life and all you’ve went through are worth so much more than the 13 or so mins you’ve given it but nonetheless so much can be learned and inspired by its telling. Your courage in sharing will help so many young people that have a passion for something. Well done!
Amazing series of montages, filled with trial and tribulation, setbacks and rewards. Your perseverance, passion and dedication in the wake of struggle and doubt is heroic. Out of awe and inspiration we can chant, "Allie! Allie! Allie!"
This was beautiful Allie! I love you and your videos so much! You ARE brave, strong, determined, gorgeous, and such a bad ass. I’m quite a bit older than you but I learn so much from you. I can’t wait to watch you at the Cross Country Worlds this weekend, I hope you have a blast 💜💜
I cried 😭 happy tears…thank you for showing your most authentic self. It’s not easy being so vulnerable online, but I promise this means a lot to many that follow you. Thank you 🙏🏼
hey allie, I really can't fully describe what this video means to me at this particular time of my life but one thought I can articulate is that my passion sport (cycling) has hit 2 really big obstacles lately - the most recent is that I was hit by a truck on a training ride last week haaaaa great. I've been really angry and upset, questioning whether to stay in the sport even. But seeing you persevere through SO much is really re-framing my mindset and makes me believe that I can do this. And that's a huge huge gift you've just given me. Can't wait to see how you do at world champs, you have so many people rooting for you !!
Allie, I am 14 and a xc and track runner. I can say that I have struggled with having certain low points in running (mostly in winter). So, I get how you are feeling. But, I have always wished to be close to or as good as you! So, you are worth it and are much better than you think. Keep going. You are so strong!
Very moving video. Every great story arc has a slump in the middle where everything seems hopeless and the hero(ine) questions whether to keep going. Overcoming these setbacks is what makes the story worth telling and the life worth living. So keep going! And congrats on your finish at World XCs, such a great performance
Thank you so much for sharing your journey and for always being so real and vulnerable. I came to your channel, because my hobby is running, and I am recovering from an ED. I continue to be hooked to your channel, because I'm a professional classical singer, and there are truly so many parallels between our professions! It is comforting and inspiring to watch you navigate the ups and downs and approach your work with so much passion, dedication, and adaptability. You are so strong in all senses of the word 💪 Thank you 💖
This was the most wonderful, rewarding, honest and inspiring thing I have seen in a long time. Good on you Allie, wishing you all the best and cheering you on along the way!
You are one of the most genuine people on TH-cam… life is funny in that we think we are headed on a specific path then things change and we are on a new path, or no path at all… be proud of what you have achieved but know you are destined for greatness!!! I can’t wait to watch you compete at worlds!!!!
Allie, you’re so so so awesome. I have had a very similar experience over the past year as I’ve been recovering from my ED and god it’s reassuring to know that someone can be as successful as you after so many rivers and valleys. You’re truly such an inspiration. Thank you for being so full of passion and wisdom for the sport, you’re one of a kind.
Allie, you are one of a kind and a beautiful person! So proud of you for facing your fears and doubts head on. You’ve inspired so many people, including myself, with running/training and just having a fun perspective on life. You light up the world with your perseverance. I hope you have a wonderful experience at worlds and get to soak it all up ❤🇺🇸 Let’s go USA!
You’re truly an inspiration, I am rooting for you & know you have everything it takes to be a winner - you already are in every way possible. Hold your head high, start on that line knowing you are the best you can be & have complete belief in yourself xxxx
You are more than the place you get in a race.Your truthfulness and work ethic inspire so many.I have been watching you since day one, and I see improvement and PRs.Rooting for you to succeed.
You are literally the most inspiration female runner I know. Allie,as a runner myself,(though obviously no where near your time range😅) I’m so glad you decided to begin talking about this ❤it means so much. GOOD LUCK AT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS! Hope you do amazing and you will (:
Lmfao
She’s right
@@lean2281 why is that funny?
@@Ema_045 exactly
thank you so much! I'm excited to step to the line ;)
Luckily I watch you during elliptical sessions so the tears just looked like sweat. What a journey. I’m privileged to witness it.
I can relate on watching TH-cam on the elliptical haha. Thank you for watching and for all the support!
I am a high school xc runner. This year my times were slower than last year which made reallly depressed. Watching you I learned that it’s okay to not have linear progression and you really helped get me through a tough time in my life. Thank you Allie ❤️
And just know - no matter the results at worlds. You have already won in SOOO many ways. YOU ARE A HERO to thousands!!
One of my favorite movie quotes is from Rocky Balboa. “It ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!”

Thank you for not giving up on yourself, because through your grit and determination, through your victory over an ED, you’ve inspired others to not give up on themselves. Your journey is so powerful and beautiful in its own way. Much love ❤
I cried every time I edited that part of the video! It means so much to me that people could feel the emotion and supported me through everything :)
This made me cry happy tears. You don’t know me, but I’ve been rooting for you every step of the way. I’m also in ED recovery and a runner who is trying to do things right to finally get to the start of the NYC Marathon next November (after four ED related deferrals). You inspire me daily. Go get ‘em, Allie. ❤
I am wishing you the best for NYC this November! I believe in you, and just remember that no matter how many tries it takes, once you get to that start line it will be worth it!
This video made me tear up and it truly hit me to my core! As a former runner and as someone who has been through ED treatment, I see so much of myself in you.

Good luck at Championships, Allie! I can hardly wait to see the race, and no matter the outcome, please know that I admire you so much for never giving up. You have been an inspiration to me and so many others. We are all rooting for you!
What a beautiful montage. Sending you so much support for Belgrade and after. Go get ‘em Allie!!!
Goooo Allie! I thoroughly enjoy seeing your thoughtful, multi-dimensional self. Thanks for sharing and good luck.
This was so powerful and well done. I found myself tearing up at the end right with you. I'm currently in an ED relapse and your story of continuous courage and resilience continues to inspire me over and over again. Thank you, Allie, you touch more lives than you know
Have fun in Serbia. Best part of the montage is seeing Spencer as well as your family and friends there supporting you along the way. That is amazing.
Allie, in my opinion this is your best TH-cam video ever. This is awesome! I love ❤you Allie!!! Allie!!! Allie!!! Allie!!! Now onto the 2024 Cross Country World Championship. Let's shock the World, Allie!
I got so teary and emotional at the end! Thank you for sharing all of these hard things with the world - especially young female athletes!
Great run today! My 8th grade track/xc gal and I woke up at 4:30 am and had some “For The Folks” coffee to watch y’all run! It was great!!! Yay!!!!
oh my gosh, I love this!! Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for sharing the path with us in humility, with depth and a real strength of character.

I admire the runner you are. I am in awe of the human you are.
Beautiful video Allie, you are such a strong woman thanks to everything you have been through
It is indeed NOT the end of your journey! Sometimes our goals change because of things that happen in our life. You are very brave to share your personal struggles with ED. You are an inspiration to create a platform to share and inform the community about your ED, ongoing recovery all the while continuing your passion for running. I have followed you for a long time because I love running and I appreciate your content!!!
No matter the outcome of every race you do, you will always be a winner! You have a lot of love and support! And that’s winning at life! 💗
Aille you are a wonderful human being. caring compassionate and so open. Your running hasn't left you it's always been there inside you.❤
You’re truly amazing and an inspiration to so many. Keep moving forward!!!
I love that you had a quote from Katie Uhlaender. She's certainly known tough times. Hope you smash the world champs - and manage to enjoy them too.
Allie, you are a true inspiration for those overcoming adversity, and for those who inspire to challenge themselves. Good luck on Saturday. I'll be watching. Your fans are with you. 💪👍
I love this so so so so so so much!!!! I’m cheering you on!! I can’t wait to hear more! Go Allie!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You will be successful in any running event and any life event with that positive outlook and the amazing team you have surrounded yourself with. This team includes your family, Spencer, Georgie, and many others. I would wish you good luck, but you don't need luck.
Rock on Allie! The roller-coaster path of your career so far has definitely been difficult. It shows the depth of your strength and passion to come back and go after the next goal each time.

EXCELLENT job. 30th. Hope you are pleased. Excellent shot of you on the broadcast from behind fixing your hair!
That last speech was beautiful, you inspire me to keep going
Brave and inspirational video Allie. Good luck in the race!!
Good luck Allie at the championships! It’s been so inspiring following your journey.
Thank you so much!!
Awesome job at Worlds, Allie! 2nd highest finishing American (1st non-African- born American). You've come a long way.
All the tears 😭😭😭 I recovered from an ED 15 years ago and not a day goes by that I’m kind to my body but athletics help a little bit more each day, and content like this helps a lot 💛

Happy, proud and beautiful tears for you Allie. You and this journey are such an inspiration to us all. Thank you for sharing. Cannot wait to watch the very best version of you show up at the Worlds start line! Go get after those dreams girl!
Allie, our 7 kids participated in many sports all over Alaska 2005 - 2016. We are pulling for you. You can be as triumphant as Kikkan Randall.
Your an inspiration to everyone that watches your videos, and you should be proud of that.
Moving and brave. You are inspirational to runners of all ages!
Way to go Allie. You continue to be an inspiration
Hope you have the best race! Thanks for always being so open about your story xxx
You inspire me. I’m going to start back trail running once I’m cleared. I’ve had a hysterectomy so I have to wait until I have permission to run again. I’m also going to attempt an ultramarathon in June next year. :-) ❤Thankyou Allie Love from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
so inspiring. good luck to you at the World Championships!!!! you've already won in our hearts :')
You are such a legend! Absolutely love being part of the journey.

I have been watching your channel for years, and I find you incredibly inspiring, and so authentic. I cannot wait for you to toe the line at worlds and have another experience of being proud of yourself, working hard, and doing your best! You rock Allie.
Found you through David Roche’s social media. Listening to his and Megan’s positivity in their podcast has really motivated me and changed my approach toward my own running. I’m so far from your level, but am glad to see his methods are working from us amateurs all the way up to badass runners like yourself! You are amazing!
Go get 'em, Allie!
You're gonna go out controlled, settle in, get your bearings, keep your composure,... then halfway through you're gonna see that people are already starting to come back to you, and you're gonna start picking 'em off, one at a time.
You're gonna finish strong, end up with a very solid place, and it's gonna be a great confidence boost you can carry into the spring and summer.
(And Weini's gonna be top ten, and that's gonna be an extra boost to all of you.)
You go, Girl!
It is important that you keep telling your story. The importance of good coaching and advice can’t be overestimated. I can’t help but think how different Mary Cain’s career might have been with good coaching. Keep putting out the word.
You go girl, I’m rooting for you all the way!
The end 😭 beautiful, so happy to have been following your journey for the past two + years. Can’t wait to see where the next bit of the story brings you!
Just forwarded this to my massage therapist who also coaches young track athletes. Excellent message and serious role model vibe!
I am definitely not a pro runner, but an athlete who has gotten into running in my 20s. You allow me to have so much grace for myself, I had to walk away from college soccer because of my mental health and continuously getting hurt (college soccer had a lot of the same issues you share about your ncaa experience). I am about to run my first half in 5 years and have been dealing with some micro injuries and your page always reminds me things are not linear and it’s okay if a timeline changes! Thank you for sharing your life and passion with us!
It’s the journey rather than the race that’s important. It’s about the experiences we have and how we learn and grow from them. You have amazing determination and are such an example of doing the work that changes your ultimate trajectory. You had a lot of detours but now you’re here with a much stronger mind, body and spirit, able to truly appreciate and value this experience. You can’t say you can’t do it because you’re actually doing it!
wahhhhhh this is so incredible
LOVE the running content, and really appreciate the life lessons, motivation & positivity that you also share.
😊
Amazing video Allie! You’ve told your story brilliantly. Your life and all you’ve went through are worth so much more than the 13 or so mins you’ve given it but nonetheless so much can be learned and inspired by its telling. Your courage in sharing will help so many young people that have a passion for something. Well done!
Amazing series of montages, filled with trial and tribulation, setbacks and rewards. Your perseverance, passion and dedication in the wake of struggle and doubt is heroic. Out of awe and inspiration we can chant, "Allie! Allie! Allie!"
We are ROOTING FOR YOU Allie!!! Have a great race, I hope you have an awesome experience
Well done! Excited for the next chapter of this story.
I love your stuff. As a recovering Ed who is bigger. You cured me of hating the skinny girl. You gave me more empathy for the athlete. Go you!
This was beautiful Allie! I love you and your videos so much! You ARE brave, strong, determined, gorgeous, and such a bad ass. I’m quite a bit older than you but I learn so much from you. I can’t wait to watch you at the Cross Country Worlds this weekend, I hope you have a blast 💜💜
I cried 😭 happy tears…thank you for showing your most authentic self. It’s not easy being so vulnerable online, but I promise this means a lot to many that follow you. Thank you 🙏🏼
Allie you are such an inspiration to me! I just want to say thank you and thank you you for letting us be part of chasing your dreams.!
hey allie, I really can't fully describe what this video means to me at this particular time of my life but one thought I can articulate is that my passion sport (cycling) has hit 2 really big obstacles lately - the most recent is that I was hit by a truck on a training ride last week haaaaa great. I've been really angry and upset, questioning whether to stay in the sport even. But seeing you persevere through SO much is really re-framing my mindset and makes me believe that I can do this. And that's a huge huge gift you've just given me.
Can't wait to see how you do at world champs, you have so many people rooting for you !!
Allie, I am 14 and a xc and track runner. I can say that I have struggled with having certain low points in running (mostly in winter). So, I get how you are feeling. But, I have always wished to be close to or as good as you! So, you are worth it and are much better than you think. Keep going. You are so strong!
Good luck Allie, we'll be rooting for you ❤
Bah!! So good. Tears in my eyes! Will be rooting for you at worlds!! What a journey, thank you for sharing it. ❤
Very moving video. Every great story arc has a slump in the middle where everything seems hopeless and the hero(ine) questions whether to keep going. Overcoming these setbacks is what makes the story worth telling and the life worth living. So keep going! And congrats on your finish at World XCs, such a great performance
Thank you so much for sharing your journey and for always being so real and vulnerable. I came to your channel, because my hobby is running, and I am recovering from an ED. I continue to be hooked to your channel, because I'm a professional classical singer, and there are truly so many parallels between our professions! It is comforting and inspiring to watch you navigate the ups and downs and approach your work with so much passion, dedication, and adaptability. You are so strong in all senses of the word 💪 Thank you 💖
This was the most wonderful, rewarding, honest and inspiring thing I have seen in a long time. Good on you Allie, wishing you all the best and cheering you on along the way!
You are one of the most genuine people on TH-cam… life is funny in that we think we are headed on a specific path then things change and we are on a new path, or no path at all… be proud of what you have achieved but know you are destined for greatness!!! I can’t wait to watch you compete at worlds!!!!
Allie, you’re so so so awesome. I have had a very similar experience over the past year as I’ve been recovering from my ED and god it’s reassuring to know that someone can be as successful as you after so many rivers and valleys. You’re truly such an inspiration. Thank you for being so full of passion and wisdom for the sport, you’re one of a kind.
Allie, you are one of a kind and a beautiful person! So proud of you for facing your fears and doubts head on. You’ve inspired so many people, including myself, with running/training and just having a fun perspective on life. You light up the world with your perseverance. I hope you have a wonderful experience at worlds and get to soak it all up ❤🇺🇸 Let’s go USA!
Great video and so inspiring Allie! Best of luck this weekend
You made me feel all the feelings. Beautiful testament to the human spirit. We’re rooting for you!
You rock! Thanks for talking about your ED. It’s amazing that you can come back to your sport again and again despite that.
I am so proud of you Allie! You remind me that recovery is worth it and I'm very thankful for that.
You’re truly an inspiration, I am rooting for you & know you have everything it takes to be a winner - you already are in every way possible. Hold your head high, start on that line knowing you are the best you can be & have complete belief in yourself xxxx
Give it your best Allie at Worlds.
