I Raced The US Olympic Trials || 3000m Steeplechase 2024

8 billion people on the planet. 4 billion women. 20th fastest in the world is nothing short of amazing.

What do you mean you weren't close to being an Olympian? You made the finals of The US trials and came only 4 places outside the qualifying positions in the fastest US trials race ever. That's very close. How many previous trial races would your time have won. So proud of you. You ran your fastest race ever and never gave up. ❤❤

Not shown in this video, but the NBC coverage showed Allie immediately hugging and celebrating with her friend who made the team. I know Allie isn't disappointed in her performance, but she did miss out on the team, and to immediately be able to shift gears and be happy for someone else says so much about her personality. Great athletic performances will be forgotten and surpassed, but that kind of show of character is the kind of thing that I always remember and root for.

you mentioned in a past vid something about how trying really hard for a goal, even if you don't get it, is not a waste of time or something to be ashamed of. that really stuck with me. there's such dignity in that, and I see it in you. great job running and documenting your journey!

Incredible race. 7th in the nation with a big PR. Well done Allie. It was awesome following your journey.

First, thank you for sharing your journey with us. Second, you managed to PR at the Olympic Trials. Let that sink in for a second. You can only control what you can control, you ran a great race, the fact that it was the fastest Olympic Trials race in history is not something you could have envisioned or controlled. Congratulations.

Allie, I'm a middle aged guy who only started running at age 51. You are one of my heroes and an inspiration as I learn to deal with multiple chronic illnesses. Your persistence to fight while mind and body say "you aren't enough" and how the effort to achieve what you want gets you to better places whether you achieve the goal or not helps motivate me and others through our own struggles. Thank you for being your awesome self.

On Instagram you called this experience a "beautiful failure". That phrase has really stuck with me. I feel like most of my life is just that, a beautiful failure. While it's fun to see people have dream days, some of us can relate, and be inspired, way more by people who give it their all, fall short, and choose to be thankful and joyful anyway.

What a mature young lady you are. Your post race interviews were so impressive, intelligent and inspiring. You are amazing, well done!

Wait WHAT!? You're the 20th fastest in the WORLD!? You mother effer, way to bury it there. Just 'no big deal'. Allie - its THE WORLD! Are you kidding me!?! You're incredible! Im so impressed not just with this performance, how you handled the post-race interviews, how you train, how you lay it all out there. Thank you for allowing us this glimpse of your life. Its well and truly appreciated. ❤

It's so clear that you're putting in the mental and physical work to become the best you can be. You've just scratched the surface of what you can achieve, and the best is yet to come. Don't stop working and please don't stop sharing your journey with us, it's a joy to watch - the highs, lows, and weirds - we are with you and can't wait to see what you'll achieve.

You made the finals to the Olympics and put on an gutsy performace, very few can say that. But Olympians don't just perform they inspire others so we ourselves can feel that Olympic spirit. You my dear have inspired me (and others) to get out of our comfort zones and most of all to be fearless in chasing our dreams. You are what embodies an Olympian. Thank you and I can't wait for the next adventure.

I took several years to recover from my ED and then got to represent my country in the 2021 Olympics. Life has myterious plans sometimes. I look forward to your videos each week and insoired to see where life takes you next.

Thank you for taking us on this journey with you Allie Wherever you head next you have a family of followers that will be there with you. Hearing you talking about your "self talk" during that finals race is just another evidence of your mental growth as a racer.

I watched the NBC coverage specifically for you. A PR and surpassed the Olympic standard all despite being two weeks out from covid. You did absolutely amazing.

The important part was your journey. Watching you work up to this and still do amazing was incredible. I’m behind thankful for getting to witness this. 20th fastest time? Great job, Allie ❤🎉YOU DID AMAZING 💕

You did brilliantly, Allie. Been following you for months and you gave it your all. Competing in the US Olympic trials final already means you’re one of the best in the world. That alone is a phenomenal accomplishment

You are our champion no matter what. Congrats Allie!

the fact that the slowest qualifying time of 9:07.14 would have won any other us trial/us championship really puts into perspective how crazy this race was, i really like how adapted after your initial plan was derailed super early on and u kept givin it ur best shot and came out with a pr really nice that the whole fam came and dad o gave georgie that special treatment im sure he loved it and of course u had to tease us with whats comin next ahhhh im so curious itd be sick to see u in more high caliber races or maybe even more trail??

You're from Alaska which is basically Canada if you had run that time in their nationals-first place for Allie. You ran a pb when you needed one.FANTASTIC effort
