Hey, everyone, I'm Olympian Kerry Tellison, and welcome to the C-Tolly Run podcast.

Today I'm so excited to get to know a woman that I've followed for a while now.

She's a professional triathlete, a marathon, or an ultra runner, an eye fit trainer.

She's a wife, mother, and a grandmother. Most of you know her as Ash Kicken, but her real name is Ashley Pulsin. In this episode, we dig into all the wild and fun experiences that she has while on the run, how she finds time and motivation to do all the training and racing. Her upcoming 100-mile treadmill Guinness World Record attempt at the Boston Marathon Expo on Saturday,

and what she does for fun outside of running, her family, and so much more.

So let's get after it.

Ashley, I am so pumped to have you on C-Talley Run. Thank you for making time for us today.

Oh my gosh. I am so excited to be here. Thank you so much for even wanting me to be on here.

Oh, we're going to have a good time. Well, this is like, we're going to cover it all, I think,

but I'm going to be in Boston with you, obviously, this weekend. I'm doing all sorts of media stuff, and you are going to be tackling a world record on the treadmill. So let's like, before we get into all your awesome stuff, just like lay it out there. Where are we going to find you? What are we going to like watch you do? And how can we cheer you on? Okay. So the Boston Marathon Expo on the 18th. So I know it's a few days. So this will be Saturday. And I'll be starting at 4 a.m. So if you want to show up. No, I'm just kidding. The expo will not be open. So don't show up at 4 a.m. So and I, the goal is to be done before it closes so that obviously

we can have a crowd and, you know, I just want to party, you know? So that's the goal is to get it

in time before the expo closes. So if you're at the expo at all on Saturday, come by the

I-fit booth. You can't miss it actually actually, from what I hear. It is, like, in order to, like, escape, escape the Expo, you're going to pass by the outfit booth. So there's going to be a lot of treadmills. You're going to, you know, I'll be. You can't miss this either. I don't really blend in. Can't miss the pink hair. I love it. I love it. No, we don't want you to blend in because that is definitely not your style. So boring. So boring. So, so a hundred miles. Yeah. Yeah. My gosh. And you just set. I know, are they still ratifying your 100 mile that you just hit. So. Yes. I mean, I sent in my shoes and I haven't got anything like, I know it's so crazy. Like you legit send in your shoes. Like it's crazy. Yeah, so wild. I love it. So that was, that took place a couple months ago in Utah, right in your backyard, basically. So it was actually in Las Vegas, but close to my- Oh, it ended in Las Vegas.

Did you run at all in Utah?

Nope. Oh, all it was a one mile. It was a one-mile loop. Okay, it's all coming back to me. Yeah, yeah, one-mile loop in Vegas, so. Yes. And I want to sing, it's all coming back. It's all coming back to me now.

I love you even more now because every time I say it's coming back, I'm like, why do I have to think of Slendian and I just want to belt it out? And I know I don't sound good, but I'm going to belt it out anyway. Anytime. Anytime. I think when you run as long, well, I don't run nearly as long as you, but, you know, we're all goofballs.

We all like to have fun. And a lot of times Celine Dion comes into my mind for sure. She does. I love it. I love that you, like, that hit. Yeah. Well, I was thinking, I don't know why I was thinking that, no, you did. I, everything had to come back kind of out verbally there. So anyway, we got it straight.

100 mile. I don't know why I was thinking that no you did I everything had to come back kind of

verbally verbally there so anyway we got it straight 100 mile world record and one you did

100 one mile loops in Vegas not in Utah in Vegas in Vegas yes at the jackpot 100 mile are

there so so cool so much fun I mean people would be like, that'd be so boring. But I mean, I get people the whole time. And that's what the treadmill is going to be like as well is like people the whole time. Yeah, that's what I was wondering. So when I was on a treadmill, I think it was at the Boston and Chicago marathons years ago, they did like a sweat test with Gatorade back in the day. So I was going to tell you, you're going to have a blast. Like there are people that will hold up signs. They'll be like, you know, all these, you know, everyone like me, like a big fan girl, you'll have all your fan people there. And like, it's going to just, I mean mean I know it's a long day for you but I think

you're gonna have a blast doing it I know I will like that's why I could do this anywhere like
