| TRACK 80: Becs Gentry on Running Through Every Season of Life | 28 oct. 2026 | 01:03:52 | |
On this Track of The Allie G Show, I’m joined by Becs Gentry for a conversation that feels especially full circle. I started running with Becs years ago on the Peloton Tread, so getting the chance to sit down and hear more of her story firsthand was awesome! We talk about her journey from road racing and Peloton to trail running, the experience of completing the Great World Race - seven marathons on seven continents in seven days - and what it took to take on CCC at UTMB Mont-Blanc. Becs also opens up about motherhood, finding the balance between training and family life, and stepping into her new chapter with HOKA. Plus, we get into the highs and lows of chasing big goals, learning to embrace the unknown, and remembering why we fell in love with running in the first place.

We get into the realities of marathon training as a mom of three, treadmill miles, finding safe places to run, fueling for a later start, and what it means to experience Marathon Sunday from the other side of the barricades. Plus, we get into our Shania Twain/Peloton origin story, share a few race-day fueling tips, and wrap things up with a hot take and a song for the Allie G Show playlist. | |||

This Track of The Allie G Show is brought to you by My Race Tatts! Use code ALLIEG for 20% off My Race Tatts! 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. | |||
| TRACK 77: Road to the 5 Boroughs // Traci Coulter // Back to the NYCM | 08 oct. 2026 | 01:09:42 | |
This Track of The Allie G Show is brought to you by My Race Tatts! Use code ALLIEG for 20% off My Race Tatts! 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. 🗽🏃♀️ | |||
| TRACK 76: Road to the 5 Boroughs // Don Oswalt // From Sharpie Mantras to My Race Tatts | 01 oct. 2026 | 01:07:44 | |
This Track of The Allie G Show is brought to you by My Race Tatts! Use code ALLIEG for 20% off My Race Tatts! 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. | |||

| TRACK 74: Ashley Paulson // Badwater 135, Breaking 100-Mile Records & Eating Cheetos | 24 sept. 2026 | 01:20:34 | |
Ashley Paulson is one of those athletes where you could probably talk for hours and hours and still have more stories to tell, and this conversation is exactly that. In this Track of The Allie G Show, I sit down with Ashley to talk about an absolutely wild year of running, starting with her latest Badwater 135 experience - the big goals, the highs, the lows, and what it took to keep going. We also get into her record-setting 100-mile year, running 100 miles on a treadmill at the Boston Marathon Expo, getting older in the sport, family, Matt’s role in her racing, and the mindset behind chasing big goals. And of course, we cover the important stuff too: music, fueling, Cheetos, and what’s next for Ashley. Brought to you by My Race Tatts, BAKLINE & Monday Night Media | |||

| TRACK 54: Legwork x Allie G Show // What You Need To Know To Run The Boston Marathon | 18 avr. 2026 | 01:38:53 | |
Brought to you by BAKLINE A practical course strategy for Boston that covers race-day logistics, pacing, hills, and fueling, so you don’t give your race away before Heartbreak Hill. The Boston Marathon itself doesn’t test how fit you are. It tests how well you understand what you’re stepping into. It tests how well you can plan and prepare. The course gives you just enough early to make you believe you’re having a great day. Downhills feel free. The pace comes easily. And somewhere between Hopkinton and Wellesley, it’s all too easy to lose sight of the fact that you might be borrowing energy from later you. AIn this episide, youll learn to understand why Boston is hard, how to approach it with intention, and when to hold back even when everything feels right. Boston isn’t about surviving the hills. It’s about arriving at them with something left. Episode Description In this joint episode of the Allie G Show and Legwork, Alex, Matt, and Molly break down how to approach the Boston Marathon from start to finish with three primary sections: race day logistics, a section-by-section course strategy and analysis, and race week and day nutrition and fueling. Drawing on their own experiences across multiple Boston races, they explain why the course is more tactical than it looks—and how small decisions early in the race can shape the final 10K. Together, they cover: • How to plan race weekend logistics, including the expo, transportation, and starting village • What makes the Boston course deceptively difficult despite being “net downhill” • How to pace the early miles so you don’t give back time later • A section-by-section breakdown of the course, including the Wellesley tunnel, Newton Hills, Heartbreak Hill, and the Citgo Sign • Why Boston rewards restraint early and patience through the middle miles • Common mistakes runners make in the first 16 miles—and how to avoid them • How to think about fueling, hydration, and carb loading for race week and race day • Adjusting your strategy based on weather, effort, and how the day unfolds, and • What to expect in the final miles and how to close the race strong Along the way, they share lessons from past races, including pacing mistakes, fueling issues, and what it actually feels like when the race turns. Whether it’s your first Boston or you’re trying to run it better than last time, this episode gives you a clear framework for approaching the course with intention.
