In this episode of Le Run Down I made my way down to New York City for the marathon and had the opportunity to chat with elite marathoner, Allie Keiffer.
She went into her first marathon, thinking she was going to do the half the night before and ended up winning it with a time of 2:55:30. That was the 2016 Miami Marathon, and only a year later she managed to shave 25 minutes off her time, finishing 5th in New York.
Allie is resilient, dedicated, and focused on the Olympic trials in Atlanta next February.
