I had a really good time supporting Allie at the Olympic Trails! Get 30% off your first subscription order at KETONE.com/theathletespecial (discount automatically applied)
Congrats on such an awesome performance on a big stage! Lifetime PB under the Olympic standard a couple weeks after catching COVID - as an unattached athlete, too? Crazy. Can't wait to see what you decide to do on the track (and the road??? 😉) while you keep stringing together months of quality training.
To put thinks into perspective, Allie didn't just run a personal best (which is awesome), she crushed the Olympic standard. And Top 20 in the World is icing on the cake.
It's such a great endorsement of her last year of training. Also shows how absurdly strong the US women's steeple field is that a performance like that didn't have her in contention for the team. Really excited to see her string together many more months of injury-free training and see what she can do. I'd love to see her on the road with experience from the combo of mountain racing and fast track work.
I can’t believe that, as I was watching it live I heard a GO ALLIE in the background and all I kept thinking was “that sounded exactly like Spencer”, and it actually was you!! Your enthusiasm and support for Allie even when she may not have been able to hear you really made my day so thank you!
I think it was great for Allie to finally admit that without you willing her over the hurdles, that just wouldn't happen! Huge Congrats to Allie for not only qualifying for the Olympic trials, but then making it to the finals and running a new PR in front of the world. I think t with really sharp hurdling/ and jumping technique, and per her video a little improvement on strategy, she might have been 9:15 ish. She has really improved her speed and strength and recent months with amazing training at altitude and doing long stretches of uphill, and my guess is that she will be on the next Olympic team. Also, you are such great support for Allie, which truly brings her happiness. Spencer, I think you are one of the few people who met the qualifying standard to date Allie; as I was thinking that her parents would only allow her to go out with a guy who can run a 5k under 15 minutes, and if it is the mile, that better not take more than 4 minutes! Wishing you both to continue with your amazing adventures and inspirational running.
Great Job Allie! I was in the stands for Thursday's final by the water jump second level and thought Allie ran a super smart race and was passing runners at the end. Spence, getting a little appreciation for what Keith has done watching you race all those years. It's tough being the watcher instead of the racer. Love your support for Allie!
Wow thanks for great video! I feel like we get to see the experience thru Alli's eyes and now yours. Love the Eugene stuff too. I recently started watching you Park Run videos. Keep it up! Love Allies honesty!And the part about you willing her over each jump!
This was an awesome video. Its so nice to see how you support each other and the dynamic between the two of you is the cutest. Looking forward to watching more videos and seeing whats next! Im hoping to PR in the 5k this fall and then a long Canadian winter of aerobic training. So Im excited to see your journey :)
I didn’t hear you on the broadcast but sat right behind you in the stadium in the prelims! My daughter was so embarrassed when I congratulated Allie’s parents
Allie did so great! PR! Standard! But, even more fundamental, she worked up the field as the race went on and didn't give up! I know she's competitive and likely wishes she'd gotten top 3 for obvious reasons, but she did fantastic! Can't wait to see what Allie does next and what The Athlete Special chooses to do next!
no pressure but .... just maybe we might see her at worlds next year 😉maybe a couple Diamond League meets? I don't know, but whatever it may be I wish her the very best 😊
lol I remember when I think it was the race where she qualified for trials you go yeah I’m also so nervous even tho I’m not running that cracked me up Ngl and your a sweet boyfriend for Allie!
I agree with you Spence !! I too am not "fan" of the Steeple ALTHOUGH the only time I watch is when Emma C. or Allie is competing. If I could have it my way as fan, for World Championships and Olympics, I would ditch the 10,000 and the Steeple. I would ADD Cross Country {to replace the Steeple and 10,000} and ADD a "regular" 3000 on the track, and last but not least, I would ADD a road 1/2 marathon. But I'm the "Rodney Dangerfield" of Track and Field as well as my other passion - Aviation.
I am spamming the comments, but... Spencer is moving to Boulder with Allie and he is stepping up to the 1/2 marathon. And Georgie is the new face of Armani Dog. #MyPredictions
Shoutout to Spence for willing me over every barrier

Yep. I think there are maybe 3 countries in the world where Allie wouldn't make the Olympic team....
Yes, we heard you! I was like "is that Spence" lol
🤣 yes I totally heard you yellin “GO ALLIE!”
I heard him, too😃
Yup!
I thought I heard this too when I was watching and was puzzled about it. Now I know it was real!!
loud and clear
Literally booming through the stadium LOL
Literally clearing the hurdles of life together. Great support Spencer. She was amazing.

Good job Allie! I hope you get to go to the 2028 olympic trials!
Oh yes!!! I was watching on t.v., and I definitely heard you cheering for Allie. It was so cool! 😎

Great Job Allie!

I've watched all of her Olympic tryout videos on her channel. She's a great runner. Can't wait to see what she does next!
George knows about difficult can do 12 spins in a few second
“Really good YouTubing…” You’re killin’ me.
Very, very good video. The Spesh is back! Best upload since The 4 Minute Story.
So proud of her! For many reasons, including her advocacy on eating disorders. I pray young athletes are paying attention.
This was an awesome video. Its so nice to see how you support each other and the dynamic between the two of you is the cutest.

Allie gets more spectator nerves for your parkruns bud.
