Hillary Allen - Ultra Runner and Sky Running Champion
Join me as we speak to one of the most successful and inspiring ultra running athletes in the world. Don't let her contagious smile mislead you, Hillary Allen is a warrior, driven and disciplined but fun and full of endless adventure.
Hillary’s career as an endurance athlete has not been straightforward. Through injury, setbacks and unexpected challenges, Hillary’s had to re-think what she considers impossible. Early in her career, Hillary earned the nickname “Hillygoat” when she proved her ability to run fast on steep, technical mountain terrain – a style of running known as Skyrunning. Since then, she has raced all over the world, racking up wins and course records, establishing herself as one of the best mountain ultra runners in the world. In 2017 she had a life threatening accident, where she fell 150 feet off of a ridge-line during a Skyrace in Tromsø, Norway. She was told she would never run again. After several years of rehab and recovery, Hillary made a full recovery and returned to elite level racing, racing some of her longest and most challenging events post-accident. She maintains the belief that ‘your best athletic days are ahead of you, if you’re willing to work hard for what you love.’
Hillary also studies and teaches science, using her masters degree in neuroscience and physiology and structural biology. She is also a trail running coach, and a gravel cyclist.
Hillary just launched a book: Out And Back - A Runner's Story Of Survival Against All Odds

Professional Triathlete Legend Karen Smyers Episode 111
The world of triathlon has a few legends but not many with a 30 year professional career.
Karen Smyers competed as a professional triathlete for 30 years. In her lengthy career, she won seven
National and four World Championship titles, including a dramatic come-from-behind victory in the
Hawaiian Ironman World Championships in 1995. Her victory at the short-course ITU Triathlon World
Championship just 5 weeks later still earns her the distinction of being the only woman ever to win
triathlon’s two most prestigious races in the same year.
Her career didn't come without challenges and injuries. At what might have been considered the peak of her career she suffered
a severed hamstring muscle by shard of broken glass. An unexpected time-out but a welcome chance to begin a family.
Karen also had a near fatal bike accident after being struck by an eighteen-wheeler while training, and a battle with
thyroid cancer, which prompted Sports Illustrated to name her “The Triathlete Most Likely to Be Eaten
by a Shark” in Sydney. Instead, she came back to win her seventh Elite National Championship title in
August of 2001, just a week shy of her 40 th birthday. Karen was honored by her induction into USA
Triathlon’s and the International Triathlon Union’s Halls of Fame in both of their inaugural years. In May
2020, Karen has the honor of serving as the women’s coach of Team USA for the inaugural Collins
Cup, an event modeled after golf’s Ryder Cup to bring professional triathlon to a new level of notoriety
and value.
Currently, she shares her experience, optimism, and passion for racing as a coach, motivational
speaker and race organizer with her newly launched company Gallivant Racing. She has spearheaded
the all-volunteer-managed Lincoln Kids Triathlon for the past 17 years. She is a 1983 graduate of
Princeton University and lives in Lincoln, MA with daughter Jenna, son Casey, and husband and
frequent training partner Michael King. Let's meet Karen Smyers!
