This week’s conversation is with Hillary Allen, an endurance athlete and one of the best mountain ultra runners in the world.
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.’
