This episode is brought to you by You Can. Have you all tried You Can Edge? Well, if you haven't,

I highly recommend it. Edge is You Can's version of an energy gel, but it's not like a typical

sugary gel. Edge is longer lasting than traditional energy gels. One pouch lasts for an hour

of exercise and it digests easily because there's zero sugar. It doesn't disrupt your stomach. It's long lasting. All of the top U.S. marathoners use it like Kira Damado, Sarah Hall, Emily Sisson, and Emma Bates. I mean, if they can use it, why shouldn't we try it? And I want you to check out all of my favorites, including the edge at you can.co slash carry.

And get this, they're going to give you 20% off your order if you use the code carry,

you can.

So check it all out at you can.co.

Hi, I'm Olympian, Carrie Tullifson, and welcome to the C-Tolly Run podcast.

Today I get to chat with Chrissy Gear.

Chrissy is coming off her USATF National Championship win in the steeplechase.

So we hear all about that.

She walks us through the race.

She talks about her confidence going into the race.

What it was like to pass one of the legends in the straightaway,

feeling like she belongs, and being overcome with emotions. We also talk about being in Europe,

racing and prepping for the world championships, her team, having some depression, how she deals with anxiety, her tattoos, and much more. So let's get after it. All right, everybody, I am super

excited to have Chrissy Gear on the show and she's coming to us all the way from Lovin. So

Lovin Belgium, that is. So hi, Chrissy. How are you doing? I'm good. How are you doing?

I'm good. This is so fun. So you and I were chatting a little bit before we started recording, but I used to train over there in Europe.

And this is your first time going to Europe. Well, for training purposes and racing purposes. So isn't it beautiful?

It's amazing. I love it. I'm like an awe of like the architecture and flagstap is so lovely, but it's just so dry. And so I feel like there's so much greenery over here. It's to the point where it's shocking coming from Flagstaff where I don't see as much greenery, you know? So no, it's stunning. I just like look at the window every time. Like my agent got a car, you know, so we'll drive

to and from like the track wherever. And I'm like, uh-huh. Yeah, just in, uh, so like you picked Lovin because why. Like I remember why we did, but why did you guys pick Lovin? I, I wasn't really in the thinking process. I was just told where I'm going. So my agent would have a better answer for that.
