In this episode of Trail Society, Corrine Malcolm, Hillary Allen, and Keely Henninger dive into the topic of goal setting for athletes, focusing on the importance of aligning both goals and values to enhance performance and motivation. They discuss the common tension between being process-oriented versus outcome-driven, and how athletes often get caught up in the race calendar without understanding their deeper "why" or core values. The conversation emphasizes how discovering your personal "North Star"—the driving force behind your actions—can help avoid burnout and misalignment, leading to more fulfilling and sustainable progress. The trio also reflects on the challenges of staying consistent with basic principles, even when more glamorous solutions seem tempting. Drawing from insights in Brad Stulberg's work, they stress the value of focusing on the process itself rather than obsessing over the outcome. The episode encourages athletes to embrace their core values—whether it's perseverance, integrity, or self-improvement—and use them as guiding principles throughout their training and race journeys. Ultimately, they highlight that true success lies in the commitment to consistent, incremental effort rather than expecting a singular goal to change one's life.   Keep sliding into our DMs with your messages, they mean so much to us!  FOLLOW US on Instagram: @trail.society And go follow our NEW youtube channel @trailsociety_podcast   This episode is brought to you by Freetrail @runfreetrail www.freetrail.com - subscribe and JOIN US IN SLACK   Citations:  Master of Change: Brad Stulberg   More stats on 2024 women's sports :https://www.togethxr.com/blogs/guides/by-the-numbers-2024?_kx=lrdFRyNT-PlztwSbxDjX88wCmSuos977_JoL3d_VE5BOntfP8JIuz4SPKCi2tKL_.UMrVFv

Discover how embracing multi-sport training can redefine resilience and performance in endurance sports. Hillary Allen, renowned for her ultramarathon expertise and her remarkable comeback after a life-altering accident, shares her inspiring journey of integrating cycling into her training regimen to enhance her running performance and maintain a healthy balance.   Recounting the traumatic experience of her fall in a sky running race and the subsequent challenges of recovery, Hillary reflects on the deeper reasons behind her passion for running and competing. Her narrative goes beyond the conventional metrics of success, focusing instead on curiosity, exploration, and the joy of movement.   As a multi-sport athlete, Hillary balances her training between running and cycling—a combination that provides a refreshing mental diversion and enhances her trail running with strength-building cycling sessions, which mitigate the impact on her body. Her training is a blend of discipline and joy, encompassing running, cycling, and the strategic use of the Lever system to facilitate recovery and manage training intensity, especially after undergoing surgery for bone spurs in her ankle.   In this episode, listeners will learn about the benefits of multi-sport training, the importance of resilience and mental strength during recovery, and finding motivation beyond competition. As a bonus, listeners of this episode will receive a 20% discount on any Lever Movement devices and the Lever Pro Shorts by using the code HillyGoat.   Quotes "The reason why I got into trail and ultrarunning was because I had that curiosity for the limits of human potential and how far I could go." (02:32 | Hillary Allen) "It's been an interesting saga of getting back from injuries, pivoting and seeing how it's really forced me to grow as an athlete and a person to really ask again these questions: 'Why do I want to keep doing this?' 'Why do I want to keep running and competing and doing all this other stuff?' and 'How can I do it differently that actually supports my new body?'" (05:40 | Hillary Allen)  "I've fully embraced the multi-sport athlete life. And I think that it first came from trying cycling as a way to get back from injury, from some ankle injuries. It was a quicker way for me to start to move again." (12:31 | Hillary Allen) "What I love about being a multi-sport athlete is, I feel like mentally, it gives me a break. I'm not just doing the same thing." (16:54 | Hillary Allen)  "I started using the lever system as a way to add in running volume while doing it more purposefully. I could actually temper how much weight I was loading on my tendon as it was kind of getting used to the pounding of running, which I think was absolutely game changing."

Her running resume is stacked with elite events and iconic races, including the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials and the Boston and Pikes Peak marathons. She is retired from the University of Colorado, where she taught Political Science for 25 years, and lives in Boulder and Kona, Hawaii.Guest co-host Hillary Allen is a professional athlete based in Boulder, Colorado.  She is the author of OUT AND BACK and podcast host of Trail Society Podcast.  Hillary spoke about her book on Episode 23 of The Travis Macy Show.About RUNNING AND RETURNING:For Vicki Ash Hunter, Ph.D., running was an escape. Compelled to move her body, flee her perceived inadequacies, and shed her sadness, Hunter found solace - and success - in competitive and endurance-distance running. She established herself as a national-class athlete, qualified for the marathon Olympic Trials in 1988, and became a trusted coach to others. Even after a life-threatening accident, motherhood, and, later, a shockingly life-altering injury, nothing could keep her from the roads and trails around her Boulder, Colorado, home.But what was she running from?In this, her introspective and insightful memoir, Hunter explores how generational trauma, including her mother's reliance on food and drugs; her daughter's drug use; and her own overzealousness with exercise impacted her family and how, in her early 60s, she is finding her way toward balance, strength, and confidence. She reflects on how she, her mother, and her daughter experience ratzo v'shov, (as it's known in Judaism), the spiritual act of running in its many forms and returning to appreciation grounded in self-love.In This Episode: Find out more about Vicki: Coaching | Instagram Purchase Running and Returning Find our more about Hillary: Website | TheFeed Club Episode 23 featuring Hillary Thanks to our sponsors:The Feed Instagram | WebsiteNeuroReserveUse code TRAVISMACY for 15% off RELEVATE by NeuroReserve: Core Dietary Nutrients for Lifelong Brain Health- - - - - - - - - - -Purchase A Mile at A Time: A Father and Son's Inspiring Alzheimer's Journey of Love, Adventure, and HopeSubscribe: Apple Podcast | SpotifyCheck us out: Instagram | Twitter | Website | YouTubeThe show is Produced and Edited by Palm Tree Pod Co.

Trail ultras are her main focus these days, and it turns out she'll be running the Canyons 100k at the end of April, the same race I'm doing (but double the distance)! Elise has had her share of nutrition struggles. We cover some of the challenges she has faced with her everyday nutrition, especially relating to her Ferritin and B12 levels and how she got them up with the help of a dietitian. We also dive into all the work she has done on her performance nutrition, and what types of nutrition strategies work well for her during long runs and races.  In case you're wondering how I know Elise, I actually spoke to her for the first time in this episode! She reached out to me a couple years ago, suggesting that her good friend and pro-runner Hillary Allen come on the show - that's episode 41 if you'd like to give it a listen - and we followed each other on Instagram ever since. When another podcast interview got rescheduled at the last minute, and I found out Elise was going to be at Canyons, I invited her to come on the show! I have been meaning to reinstate my recreational athlete nutrition profile series for ages, and I knew she'd be a great guest to get that going again. What resulted was an episode that is part interview, part chit chat. We ended up going on more than a few tangents - about NYC food, training for ultras while living in NYC, my fear of all the river crossings in our upcoming race, and so much more. Thanks Elise for stepping in at the last minute and helping me get an episode out this week! I had so much fun chatting with you.I'd love to keep this series going, so if you have an interesting nutrition story to share and you'd like to be on my show, send me an email or DM on Instagram about yourself! I'd love to hear from you. Lastly - please help me grow this show so I can keep it going! I'm really trying to stick to two episodes a month, but in order to do so, I eventually need to bring in some sponsors to offset some costs. So if you're enjoying all these episodes, be sure to subscribe if you haven't already,  please share my show with your friends, and rate/review the show wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Today we are going to explore the mental preparation and positive mindset needed to conquer the challenges of ultra running. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the sport, this show is here to help you dig deep, push past your limits, and find the inner strength needed to succeed on the trails. Today we have two really tough runners, Hillary Allen and Addie Bracey, that will help us unlock the secrets and strategies you need to approach every adventure and race with confidence and determination.  Hillary Allen is the author of the book, 'Out and Back, a Runner's Story of Survival Against All Odds' LINK to Hillary's Tedx CU talk LINK to Hillary's web site Follow Addie's running exploits on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Hillary Allen's story is one for the ages. Her 150 foot fall off of a cliff while leading the skyrunning race series, where she broke 14 bones and risked never walking again, is the kind of story you see in the movies or read in a book. Well, you can read it in her book, Out and Back.  We touch on that today, as well as the mental and physical struggles she faced in the aftermath right up through the present. We discuss where her fervor for life comes from, her endless curiosity, her pursuit of science (like real science; organic biochemistry and neurology), and where cycling now fits into her life since her first ever bike race was a little thing called the Unbound 200.

Isabel and Stacey are under way with their training from coach Hillary Allen!  Intervals and pyramid sets to make it more interesting early on is the goal.  Stacey talks about the challenge of switiching from lots of treadmill miles to outside miles and Isabel shares her goal of being able to run up a local route without stopping!  Good stuff!

Hillary Allen is an endurance athlete, premier Skyrunner, scientist, author, podcast host, and a supernova of inspiration.

Hillary Allen was one of the top-ranking trail runners in the world in 2017 when a 150-foot fall off a mountain in Norway during a race nearly ended her life. She broke 14 bones, including both feet, both arms, her back, and five ribs. Despite being told she would never compete again, she slowly eased back into running and eventually went back to conquer the race that nearly took her life. These days, she's racing at an even higher level than she was before her accident, and just won her first 100-mile race, the Ultra-trail Cape Town in South Africa. In addition to running, Hillary is a sponsored cyclist, author, and former college science professor. In this interview, she talks about the long road to recovery that involved multiple setbacks (including more broken bones) and a focus on mental resilience. She discusses why she decided to write a book about her experience, and what it's like reliving such a traumatic moment in her life nearly five years later. She talks about her favored discipline, Skyrunning, which features rough terrain and extreme elevation gain, and explains why, even though her goals are bigger than ever, she prefers not to think about her trajectory as a comeback story. 

Content warning: eating disorders, trauma If you need a huge dose of inspiration, this episode is for you. Our guest, ultra runner and gravel cyclist Hillary Allen, best known for her incredible comeback after the near-fatal accident she survived during an endurance race in Norway, is the definition of resilience. Hillary is a Boulder-based ultra-endurance athlete who races for both the Brooks running team the Pinarello gravel bike team. She's also a scientist with a Master's degree in neuroscience and physiology, a running coach, and the author of Out and Back, a memoir chronicling her incredible story of recovery and resilience. Hillary was at the pinnacle of her running career, when, while competing in 2017 a sky race in Norway, when one misstep almost cost her life. She fell 150 feet off of a ridge when and had to be airlifted out with a long list of injuries. Doctors said she would never run again. Not only is she running again, she's crushing it. With strength training and gravel cycling in her repertoire, she recently complete her first 100-miler at the UTMB, where she placed third American.In this interview she shares how she got into trail running, her eating disorder recovery, what motivated her through her arduous rehab process, how she manages strength training, running, and cycling, how her creative process helps with her mental health, how she keeps perfectionism at bay, why she wrote her memoir Out and Back, what community means to her, how she healed from trauma, and so much more. Connect with HillaryWebsite FacebookInstagramHillary Allen - Athlete - Brooks Running | LinkedInHillary Allen - YouTubeTrail Society on Apple PodcastsLinks/ResourcesAmelia BooneRea KolblBig Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert Hillary's newsletter (sign up and get a free workbook)

If you aren't familiar with Hillary's racing career, it's likely because most of the racing she's done is in Europe where the style and the terrain of the racing suits her; it's what she really loves. Hillary is also the author of the book Out and Back where she chronicles in fine detail exactly what she's had to overcome and what's she's learned.Hillary will readily tell you that she's not the same as she was before her running journey began. She doesn't consider her story one of comebacks; it's one of growth. It's a story punctuated by a near-death fall and then other serious set-backs. Through it all, Hillary has honed the art of growth through adversity, and she's cultivated a lot of skills along the way. In this episode, Hillary brings us up to the present, which very significantly includes her running the 100-mile UTMB, which just took place at the end of August 2022. If you're not totally familiar with UTMB, it can refer to the collection of races that take place over the course of a week in late summer in the Alps, with all of the action based out of Chamonix, France, or it can refer to the UTMB race, which is the premier event of that week of races. The race is a full circumnavigation of Western Europe's highest peak, Mont Blanc. Suffice to say the UTMB festival of events is the largest, most competitive collection of ultra events in the world. When Hillary isn't racing up and down the tough technical terrain in Europe or elsewhere in the world, she's training and racing on the tough technical terrain near her home in Boulder, Colorado. She relayed her story from there just after returning from her time in Chamonix and the UTMB.This episode is sponsored by The Feed, the largest online marketplace for your sports nutrition, offering the brands you know and love, from Skratch Labs, Clif Bar, to Maurten, plus their athlete customized supplements called Feed Formulas.

Jason ran 50 marathons in 50 states before the project but he had never run an ultra.  Katie dealt with multiple physical ailments.  They both figured it out alongside their coach en route to their first ultra.  This episode is their recap show of the race. Enjoy!

In today's episode, we speak with Hillary Allen about her love for sky running and trail running, and how she fuels for these challenging courses. We'll also dive into how her nutrition changed after her life-threatening injury.  About Hillary Allen:My career as an endurance athlete has not been straightforward. Through injury, setbacks and being told I would never run again, I've had to re-think what I consider impossible, as I continued to push myself, believing in my best athletic days ahead.Early in my career, I earned the nickname “Hillygoat” for my love of the uphill and my ability to run fast on steep, technical mountain terrain – a style of running known as Skyrunning. I won the US SkyRunner Series in 2014 in my debut season and since then, I have raced all over the world, racking up wins and course records, establishing myself as one of the best mountain ultra runners in the world.In 2017 I had a life threatening accident, where I fell 150 feet off of a ridge-line during a Skyrace in Tromsø, Norway. I broke a total of 14 bones and I was told I would never run again – let alone compete at the elite level. After several years of rehab and recovery, I made a full recovery and returned to elite level racing, running some of my longest and most challenging races post-accident.I maintain the belief that ‘your best athletic days are ahead of you,' if you're willing to work hard for what you love and never give up on yourself.I also am a scientist, I have a masters degree in neuroscience and physiology and structural biology, I'm a running coach, and a gravel cyclist.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis and treatment.See you in the next episode!***Join our 2022 Holiday Challenge here: https://p.bttr.to/3Cy1gE8New customers save 10% off all products on our website with the code NEWNR10 here: https://nutritional-revolution.com/products/Find our Menopause Support Meal Plan here: https://nutritional-revolution.com/product/menopause-support-meal-plan/If you would like to work with our practitioners, click here: https://nutritional-revolution.com/work-with-us/If you're interested in sponsoring Nutritional Revolution Podcast, shoot us an email at nutritionalrev@gmail.com.***Mentioned:Hillary AllenWebsite: https://hillaryallen.com/Instagram: @hillygoat_climbsOut and Back: A Runner's Story of Survival Against All Odds: https://amzn.to/3yiFmSESports nutritionKlean Athlete Klean Collagen + Vitamin C: https://amzn.to/3EjWBa9Tart Cherry Juice: https://amzn.to/3MhbMD4Thorne Curcumin Phytosome 500 mg Turmeric Supplement: https://amzn.to/3yihQp1Skratch Wellness Hydration Drink Mix:  https://amzn.to/3CEnkwGSkratch Hydration Drink Mix: https://amzn.to/3Maq8VHNuun Sport Tablets: https://amzn.to/3CEJtuXSpring Energy Gels: https://amzn.to/3rHCjj6JoJé Bars: https://amzn.to/3CEKCCH 

So much of the last few weeks leading up to your first ultra is the mental game of it all.  Having a coach who understands this and can give you perspective is so helpful for first time ultra runners.  On this episode, coach Hillary fields questions and lays out what to expect on race day for Jason and Katie!  Enjoy the show.

On this episode Jason and Katie are training more after recovering from big efforts and nagging injury so we get to see what their coach, Hillary Allen, has them doing.  Don't worry, we dive into more bird questions with Katie from hawks to babies and what to do if they fall out of the nest.  Jason talks about the importance of preventative care!  Enjoy the show.

Jason and Katie are back for their second call of the season and Jason came with stories of running 7 marathons in 8 days last week on his quest to run one in every state.  He also give some good PT advice to his teammate Katie who is dealing with some foot issue.  They both have recovery planned from their coach, Hillary Allen!

Katie is the bird expert.  Jason is the physical therapist.  They both come to training for their first ultra with coach Hillary Allen with lots of experience and energy to do it right this training block!  We can't wait to follow their journey and this episode is a great introduction to who they are as runners and people!  Enjoy.

Coaches Scott Jones, Ellie Greenwood, Hillary Allen, and Dawn Lisenby take the time to find the runners for Season 12 to run their first ultra in Palm Coast, Florida in October.  Enjoy the show!

In 2017, Hillary Allen experienced a life threatening accident that had the potential to completely derail her career as an endurance athlete. She fell 150 feet off a ridge-line during a race in Norway. With 14 broken bones, she was told she'd never run again, and most definitely not compete at an elite level. She overcame the odds and made a full recovery to return to elite level racing.  Hillary, nicknamed “Hillygoat” because of her love and skill for running fast on steep, technical mountain terrain, has raced all over the world.  In 2021, Hillary published a book about her accident and long road to recovery called Out and Back.  Hillary received her masters degree in neuroscience, physiology and structural biology, and is also a running coach.  In this podcast, Sonya and Hillary talked about her career as a runner, her injury, overcoming the odds to return better than before and the importance of self-belief to get there. Key Takeaways:   Where spirit of adventure came from How she became a runner Exploring curiosity  What is sky running Falling off a 150' cliff and almost dying Depression from injury Getting back to sky running post injury Where does self-belief come from How to train for ultra endurance gravel cycling and running  

Action Plan: https://jimharshawjr.com/ACTION Free Clarity Call: https://jimharshawjr.com/APPLY World-class sky runner Hillary Allen fell off a cliff. Literally. But broken ribs, a fractured back, a ruptured ligament in her foot, and broken wrists didn't stop her from rising back up after the horrific accident. Now that's badass! In 2017, world-class ultrarunner, Hillary Allen, was at the top of her sport and it felt like she was running on top of the world as she competed in Norway's Tromsø Skyrace. She was nearly halfway through the 50k race when she fell 150 feet off an exposed ridge.  In her book, “Out and Back: A Runner's Story of Survival and Recovery Against All Odds,” Hillary recounts the dramatic story of her accident and rescue, and her fight to return to the life she loves.  With vulnerability that reveals remarkable strength and introspection that yields wisdom, Allen shares in this episode of the Success Through Failure podcast the story of her recovery— both physically and mentally— the hard-earned knowledge that the path forward is not always linear, that healing takes time, and that the process of rediscovery is ongoing as she learns what it takes to survive and thrive. Don't miss her story. Tune in now.
