RUNWITHALLI LIVE Coach Alli

Darcy Budworth, Founder of TAKE THE BRIDGE™,  is an all-around bada$$ athlete, interior designer full-time, and a figure in the running community who creates a safe space for running to be accessed, competitive, and fun. It's important to chase aggressive goals with others doing the same but to keep training fun and varied. TAKE THE BRIDGE™ allows runners from all walks of life to run across bridges throughout various cities and race within their local communities together in unsanctioned races with unparalleled energy to any road race there ever was, IMO. I'm excited to jump into the next TTB race here on the West Coast! If you're in NYC or Paris, check out two of their races on the calendar. Join some speedy, fast, fun friends in the community we're all part of and the sport we all love!

Krystle has been in two of the Runwithalli® Group Challenges so far, moving into the Faster 10K challenge from the Faster Mile as her first and the Faster 5K as her second.

She is a new(ish) runner with a long-term goal of running for health and completing an Ultramarathon someday. We're working on building endurance while keeping training varied and fun, with a great community of other women chasing goals similar to Krystle's!

Fun fact: I connected with Krystle on the Gram and have been in touch with her for a while, chatting about all the running things. Watching her blossom, accomplishing goals she never thought she'd achieve, let alone set out to do, has been inspiring. I'm excited to see what she conquers next!

Krystle - it's been an HONOR to have you on the show! We have SUCH great things to look forward to, and I know this episode will inspire many others to do hard things, chase challenging goals, and train smarter to get them!

Mary Denholm is an accomplished runner with an impressive list of accolades. She qualified for the U.S. Olympic marathon trials in 2020 and 2024 after years of training and participating in marathons following her collegiate career as an athlete, which wasn't easy. In today's episode, we briefly discuss her journey to success. Mary is an overall superstar, and I enjoy working with her as my run coach. During our chat, we talked about training, coaching, lessons learned, and her career in training. She is one of the hardest-working individuals I know in the sport, and she's just getting started. Through her years of ebbs and flows with the marathon and everything in between, Mary has inspired me and many others to keep chasing goals, pushing limits, and breaking boundaries. She's currently training for an ultramarathon, and I can't wait to see what she tackles next in her journey! If you're a runner who's hesitant to take a leap of faith and set that next big goal, this episode is a must-listen. It will leave you feeling inspired, motivated, and eager to tackle that stretch goal. The sky's the limit! I had such a fun time chatting with Mary on the show, and I look forward to sharing the excellent advice, wisdom, and expertise discussed in this episode with the world!

Kristy Baumann is a Registered Dietitian from St. Paul, Minnesota, a 12x marathon runner, wife and mom to a 2 and 5 year old. She helps runners learn how to fuel properly to support their training and have a healthy relationship with food.

For years, she thought she was fueling well as a runner. But, found herself feeling sluggish on runs, having headaches and nausea after long runs, and experienced stomach issues and muscle cramps on race day.

She was focused on becoming “fat adapted”, always trying to manage her weight to run faster, and followed food rules. Food was constantly on her mind and she had a big sweet tooth. These were all signs of underfueling that resulted in recurring injuries and a poor relationship with food. It wasn't until she began to change her mindset around food, understand the science of nutrition and how the body works that she was able to learn to fuel properly, feel more energized and improve her running.

Now, she is on a mission to spread the message that restricting food and following fad diets is not the answer. Having a positive relationship with food is the foundation of fueling well as a runner.

I had such a fun time chatting with Kristy on the show, and I look forward to sharing the excellent advice, wisdom, and expertise discussed in this show with the world!

Hey there, runners and fitness enthusiasts! Welcome to the fourth episode of the Ask Alli Spin-Off, where we dive deep into training and running. I'm your host, Coach Alli, and I'm here to guide you on this journey to help you reach your fitness goals.

Today's episode of 'Ask Alli' takes a turn after viewing the rerun of the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials and recapping the race, learnings, and takeaways for all of us to apply to our running training! I share my biggest takeaways and lessons for ALL of us to apply to our runs, to stay process-oriented, and to learn to love the journey, not the outcome of one race.
There are some wins to celebrate! Congratulations to three women who made the Olympic Team: Fiona O'Keeffe Wins The U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in her First-Ever Marathon, followed by Emily Sisson and Dakotah Lindwurm. 
And to two men, brothers, and training partners with guaranteed spots on the men's Olympic Team, too! Conner Mantz ran 2:07:48 at the 2023 Chicago Marathon, and Clayton Young tallied a time of 2:08:00 in Chicago.

I am so happy and proud of all of us, of our sport. I am still hysterically crying, just feeling all the emotions and loving how well these people ran their hearts out the way they did today. 


Thank you to everyone behind the scenes who made today's event possible and viewable for the public. Your hard work does not go unnoticed. We all appreciate it. I can't find a word for how I feel right now because inspiration doesn't do justice. 😭 I hope this episode leaves you feeling inspired and motivated to tackle your next goal, stay resilient, be open to facing controversy, and overcome your biggest fears to eliminate any self-doubt because you can. WE can.

Until next time!
