Today is Tuesday, August 26th, 2025 and on this day in 1988, American trail runner Hillary Allen was born.
In this episode, we’ll be joined by Allen herself to discuss how she got into running in the first place, talk about her near-fatal fall back in 2017, and hear how she put the pieces back together and to become one of the top mountain trail runners in the world.
