What does it take to run 137+ miles through the streets of New York City? To run across New Jersey? To run 200 miles in the heat of Florida?

This week, I'm joined by Vin Kennedy, a New Jersey native whose running journey has taken him from being a self-proclaimed "weekend warrior" to tackling a 200 mile race, running across the state of New Jersey, and most recently winning the $1 Ultra in New York City.

We dive into how running changed Vin's life, the discipline that's kept him showing up day after day, and why he's willing to chase challenges most people wouldn't even consider.

Pod favorite Tim Carvin is back on The Allie G Show, and this time he's taking us inside one of the most unique races in the running world: the $1 Ultra in New York City. 🏃‍♂️💰

Tim shares what it's like to sign up for a race where you don't know the course ahead of time, how he navigated nearly 68 miles through the streets of New York - including the chaos of Times Square - and what it took mentally and physically to keep going until he was one of the last runners standing.
