Can I Beat All The Men in a 5k? 

The 63 y/o man finishing 4th and the 11y/o kid finishing 5th is INSANE

As a former race director of a 5K, I loved when elite runners used my race to prep for bigger races! Congratulations on your win. 🥇 Best wishes for World’s!

Nervous poop before a big event is KEY. In french it's "Caca de la peur", literally "Fear poop". 😀

Allie! Allie! I think you should have shown up at the local 5K in USA gear 😂

I did that run. I saw you heading back towards the finish and was dumbfounded when you ran by. You literally kicked everyone's ass in that race. Like wholly crap that young lady is FAST kinda kick ass. Best of luck to you in the Championships and hope you bring home gold. Oh, and I almost beat you..if you had a broken leg and I got a 15 minute head start. However, I did PR at 28:04. :)

This race reminds me of way back in the mid 70s running in a local race at the Jersey shore where the females started first. As us males caught up to the females I made it my goal to try to pass all of them. But there was this one that stuck right with me. It was like she knew my plan. She even looked younger then me, so I couldn't let it happen. Well we pushed each other all the way in to the finish. She came over to me afterwards, to say, "Good race". I replied, "You're gifted, what is your name so when you win at the Olympics I can say I know you". She answered, "My name is Mary Decker". And years later, there she was. I am proud to say I ran with her and she smoked me on the finishing kick.

You're not only an inspiration for young girls, you're an inspiration for older middle-aged women like me. I hope to be able to run a 5k by the end of the year, and have a lot of weight loss and training ahead of me to be able to even start running, much less make it through a 5k. But it's great to see you kicking ass and showing exactly why you're one of the awesome athletes representing the USA. I wish you much success, and may it include many wins, PBs, and many sponsorships on the road ahead. You deserve it.

Sixteen-sixteen weaving through a SEA of humanity is crazy impressive.

Exciting!! Good luck at Worlds!! Cheering for you! 🎉

Congratulations Allie ! We like you and follow you for your upcoming adventures. That run was good, you took it seriously as usual. Well done. Take care.

Congratulations on your 5k!! Sending good vibes your way to the worlds!! Good luck!!

Ever since i saw this 5k on your strava ive been hoping you made a video of it, im so happy yassh ❤Good luck at worlds!! I'm so excited for you!!

It's so great seeing you back racing and blogging again. You look fantastic.

This is awesome! Shows what a world class athlete you really are! Awesome vid!!

GO ALLIE! I’m rooting for you for worlds you totally got this. Love the race breakdown, you’re an amazing runner and competitor.

Well done Allie, you were on fire, cracking time 👍

Absolutely superb race Allie!! Just casually running 5:15’s! Fantastic

I love seeing races happen where i lived. I used to run races for fun around the seattle areas. Keep up the good work!

You’ve inspired me so much-I was a college soccer player and had given up running for a while after doing some marathons but you inspired me to get off the bike and get back out on the road. Thank you for inspiring me :)

Love the race breakdown and the Coros data is super neat! So happy you're healthy and flying on cloud 9 leading into Worlds. ☺Congratulations on SLAYING the guys in your tune up too lmao!

And we can't wait to hear about the experience. I'll be watching the entire event.

Weaving through the crowds !! Your positivity is inspirational ❤

The coffee percolating at the start of your vids has almost become your signature Now that you have your own signature coffee you now have a signature signature coffee percolation as your trademark. Well done for beating the boys!!

WOW congrats on this 5k allie that is awesome SO happy and proud of you :) Can't wait for you to compete at worlds you will crush it!!

A lot of fun to watch! You’re a great storyteller. Congrats!

Great race 👍🏻- well done for been the outright winner 🏃‍♀️💨💨💨

Nailed it! And almost got nailed by that leprechaun (spelling...) a mile into it... All the very best for your build up into Worlds Allie, can't wait to see you race (from the screen!). Go Girl!!

I only want to know if you can beat The Athlete Special in a 5K 🤪

Nice tune up for World's. Best of luck.

Keep up the great work!!!

Nice race! Looked really smooth.

Strong work Allie!! ❤

Great job Ms. Allie, we are all SUPER proud of you representing us at Worlds. A beautiful person inside and out. Spencer is ok I guess ::p. Love you both

Congrats! For the people who are not paying attention faster runner, wear a small bell so they can hear you coming. That is what us mountain bikers do. Great run, keep it up.

Can you imagine looking for your friends on the entrants' list at the local 5k and seeing Allie Ostrander? I would be losing my sh!t :) So awesome!

Impressive win! I thought the old guy was going to drift into you. Glad you scooted by.

That is ridiculously fast. You are an amazing athlete

Wow absolutely amazing 😮

U are soo sweet and such a good runner, its fun to watch u win that race🎉😊

Wow... What a run. You make the win look so ordinary... Way to go and smash the World's

So awesome!!! You're going to rock Worlds!! Also, I used to run with my boys in the stroller there and I definitely stopped to pee out of desperation in that exact spot 😋

Yay queen! Running my first marathon in just two weeks and I love watching you crush! Left the leprechauns in the dust 🍀

Imagine going down to your local 5k all psyched up - running sub 17 5k and getting absolutely fleeced by someone on a tune up for World Cross… not safe out there for the super shoe dads 😅

Absolutely incredible!!!! Congratulations 🎉🎈🎊🍾

Great pace, solid time, you looked very comfortable.

Nice! Was thinking "Neat, we have a Woodinville by us too." Then see "oh that is our Woodinville"! Extra impressive as our fun runs can have some very fast folks show up. Guess Allie was the one this time!

Great way to incorporate the sponsor into the video. The data of the turns was very interesting.

I got excited for myself for a brief second, when he said “she got 21:40”. Lol 😂

That was really cool that you were in a local race. Despite gastric duress, you were as smooth, maybe even smoother than your morning coffee; which of course comes from that package featuring an artistic rendition of you! I did notice just one minor difference in race preparation from me, in that, I don't really spend time on braiding my hair. Maybe I should! You really had a lot of dodging to do, and that might have been what kept you from breaking 5 on that last mile. One year I was on track for a PR in the Vegas Marathon, but they started the half marathon with about 50,000 runners an hour before us. After the halfway mark, I had to dodge so many thousands, that I pulled pretty much everything, and had to hobble in. I think that was a very strong and smooth run for how your morning was and the crowd of 10k runners on the course. I give Spencer a thumbs up for not filming all of your pre-race bathroom stop! Boy, I would be in trouble if he was the cameraman for my marathon running, at least in the race that I set my PR.....for most bathroom trips....5, and only used the port-a-potty once! Local course knowledge can really be of help! Allie O.....wishing you an awesome race and amazing experience in the world's. Go Allie!!!

As a nearly 40 year old dad, I’ve just ordered my first super shoes. Thanks for the shout out…! 😂

Absolutely just gorgeous. Can’t wait to see your build up.😍

Good run, Allie! That's an impressive looking medal for some random local race.

Good luck for worlds allie!

You are a phenomenal athlete. As a guy in his 40s with super shoes, I'm glad you shut up the naysayers! I'm happy breaking 20, 16 is just outrageous!

Counting down the days... I can't wait!

Well done!

Congratulations Allie!!! Love all of your videos!!! You’re my fav by far!!!

Nice one Allie!

This is what I’m here for! Don’t care who’s in the race whether it’s elites or scrubs just here for the speed! But the scrubs make you look good 😉 so don’t forget to show em who’s boss. I need that motivation myself because there’s always some 11 year old girl or like 60 year old beating me on the road 😅

Great vid and excellent production values. A long time ago (I'm 75) I read that the mime of athletes biting their medals is an old-world practice of biting a coin to assay if it is really gold. Gold, being ductile, is softer to the bite.

Loved this one! So much fun!

A week to go!! Hope your race goes well and you enjoy it. I got what you were saying about the grass running and I thought after what if it was uneven when it's hard to see everything. My brother broke a bone in a forest due to a hidden stone. So yea maybe wiser to run roads.

Massive good luck next weekend ❤

everytime I watch your videos I am specifically looking for what you put in your oat meal every time lol I must say your mixes are genius

That immediate cut from Spencer commenting on how he looked like an old man (which was hilarious btw) to you talking about the 40 yr old in super shoes momentarily confused me as if you had just perceived Spencer as your chief competition.

Good Luck at World XC!!!

So many people!!! Props for staying strong and getting through the grandpas

This is seriously impressive. I’ve done a lot of running in my life, and at no point could I have come close to staying with her.

I know the answer before even watching. Of course you can, I know you. Also, I like to run over there when I can, from that Woodinville Park to Marymoor Park and back. 😊👍

That is so impressive!

Well, that settles it. No super shoes for me. I don't want to be that "dad in the super shoes." 😂 Great race and video! Keep up the great work!

These are so tough bc you are searching for room. I call it accessory muscle training lmao 🤣..Kudos on the averting 👏

Seven more days!!! Can't wait to watch it and scream at my TV for you!!!❤❤❤

Great video and one fast time and one good RU-vid channel

Enjoyed watching your race day! You are so funny!!

Good luck at worlds!

Awesome race Allie!!! ❤

Crowd weaving win for Allie!!! Looked like a tetris game there in the first two miles!

I loved this!!! Congrats, Allie!!! (The secret is the banana sliced in 26 pieces, I am pretty sure! 😄).

Love it! Weaving the people is work lol

Great job good luck in worlds

have so much fun at worlds allie, dont let the nervous poops get you down!!

No average man is gonna run 16:16 LMAO

Congratulations always remeber your Mountain raced were you where beating the boys and world elites. Keep digging in for your future races.

Way to go. Solid 5k

Inspirational

These videos are beyong motivating for me!! Everytime I’m running and I’m trying to go a little bit faster I’m always think in my head “Imagine you’re Allie, how fast would she go?” 😁🏃🏻‍♀️

Your training has been successful because in this race you ran at the pace you have been working on -- 5:10ish. This pace puts you in first place at last year's champs. I know conditions will be different but you are right where you want to be fitness wise. Your stride looks powerful. Side issue: could you tell me what the difference in brewing coffee is when you grind fine, medium, or coarse? I never used beans until I bought "For the Folks" and I am a bit flummoxed. :( Good luck, Allie!!

Always B proud of doing your best.🎉😅😊

So I saw the time when you finished as 21:40 and was slightly confused... Then I remembered that earlier on you said the 10k runners started 5 minutes earlier. So it made sense that you won with a time of 16- odd minutes. On the topic of your sponsor... I own the competitor's watch and my friend has the Coros equivalent. The Coros has such an amazing battery life that I'm surprised they don't go out and market to us ultra marathon runners more. Battery life is top of my mind when I do races that go 12 hours+. Coros is king of that!

Way to go Allie!

May the best RUNNER win! If you can beat all the guys good on you!..

Good job on the race. Those guys weren’t in your class. It’s a nice warm up for ya.

I understand your nervous feeling before the local race because people consider your winning to be a matter of fact.

👍 When every step hurts just remember, every hurt is a lesson and every lesson makes you better. Words to race by. Perhaps not so good if taken to the extreme. If your feet are killing you halt for inspection. But barring that show no mercy and take no prisoners. Then again the journey is its own reward. You know what? Have an awesome race.

This looks like a difficult race. Going back the same route as you went with the 10Km combined, sounds like a high risk of running straight into people running the other way. Very fast run though. If I had joined that race and ran my PR I would be on the podium for the men, but the first one to congratulate the top three overall.

Beat my 5k by 3 minutes 😮Need to get rid of this compartment syndrome and try beat Allie's time 😂 Good video and insight as always.

"The nervous poops" Shout out to the nervous poops crew! 🤣

It is so stupid to let the 10k start earlier then the 5k. That is just asking for collisions

First of all CONGRATULATIONS! Secondly sorry about the Hershey squirts pre race. Lastly and most importantly my Texas prayers are with you Allie...GO...GETUM!!
