I'm happy for Allie. I live in Austin and the Cap 10K is a really hilly course. It was also warm and super humid yesterday. Typically when there's an influencer on the course here in Austin it's Nick Bare or Matt Choi so it's nice to see a shoetuber who's not a total f***ing chode out there.
If I were Allie, I would move up to the Marathon this year (maybe try to win one of the fast regional ones like Indianapolis or Philadelphia). She's had success on the roads and has run a few decent HMs. If she wants to make national teams, the 2027 World Marathon Team is a good target and less competitive than the steeple or anything else on the track. Also, people (mostly women) trying to BQ, finish a marathon, break 4 hours, etc are probably the biggest market for her influencer content so it would be good for her brand
I agree, but I think she can do that and still attempt one more steeple team. With her success in the event would love to see her take one more serious stab at it!
