Summary
"Running can feel pretty isolating. It's a very individual sport. But she's in it with me every single day. It makes me feel very special. She really cares about what I'm trying to do."
Welcome to Love on the Run 2026! We're kicking off Valentine's Week with Utah-based high school sweethearts Mica Rivera and Adam Wood. Mica and Adam are content creators and marathoners who were on the same high school track team, went to separate colleges to run (her to Utah State University, him to Brigham Young University), and are now married and running together for a living. Adam just ran a marathon PR at CIM, finishing in 2:16:58. And Mica, who is coached by Ed Eyestone, made her 26.2-mile debut at The Marathon Project in December (paced by Adam!), where she ran 2:31:35.

| 0:00.0 | Happy Valentine's Week and welcome to the Allie on the Run show. |
| 0:08.3 | I'm your host, Allie Feller, and this is Love on the Run. |
| 0:12.2 | Every year on the Alley on the Run show, I try to do something a little different during my favorite week of the year, and that is, of course, the week of Valentine's Day. |
| 0:20.5 | This is my favorite holiday, and I know people will say, it's a Hallmark holiday, blah that is, of course, the week of Valentine's Day. This is my favorite holiday, |
| 0:21.8 | and I know people will say, it's a Hallmark holiday, blah, blah, blah. We should tell people |
| 0:26.0 | we love them every day. Yeah, I agree. We totally should do that. But a day that's all about |
| 0:33.5 | celebrating love, I say, why the heck not? And I am totally into it, the way I see it, |
| 0:39.3 | and the way I celebrate it. It is about love is love is love is love. It is not just for |
| 0:45.4 | couples and throuples, no judgment here. It is a heart-filled time to honor and acknowledge |
| 0:50.1 | and appreciate all of the love in your life, whether it is a long-term romantic relationship, |
| 0:55.0 | a one-night fling, a special friendship, a colleague, or a family member. Today, we are |
| 1:00.9 | celebrating run love, young love, high school sweetheart love. My guests today are Mika Rivera |
| 1:08.2 | and Adam Wood. You know, just a couple of 231 and 216 marathoners. Mika and |
| 1:14.7 | Adam live in Utah where they are content creators and runners. They met in high school, they |
| 1:19.5 | fell in love, and now they're pretty much living the dream together, running, competing, and having |
| 1:24.7 | a ton of fun along the way. Mika trains with Ed Istone's group in Utah, so she's working out with Gira Domato, |
| 1:31.0 | McKenna Myler, Emily Venters, and that all-star crew. |
| 1:34.6 | And when Adam's not doing his own training and coaching, he is behind the camera capturing |
| 1:39.2 | all of the action. |
| 1:40.9 | Adam went to Brigham Young University, so he knows what it is like to be coached by |
| 1:44.9 | EasyE and to train with the likes of Connor Mance and Clayton Young. It was a big fall for the woods. |
| 1:51.7 | Adam ran a personal vest at CIM finishing in two hours, 16 minutes and 58 seconds, and Mika |
