It’s about what your body can do, not what it looks like ❤️‍🩹

This week on The Runna Podcast, Anya Culling speaks to NCAA Champion Allie Ostrander.

Allie’s career appeared picture-perfect, with huge success in the 3,000m steeplechase, 5K, and trail running. But behind the medals, she was battling an eating disorder and RED-S.

Allie reflects on how she rebuilt trust in her body, redefined success, and returned to a joy-centred approach in her training. 

This vulnerable, inspiring episode explores what happens when performance comes at the cost of health, and serves as a powerful reminder that in running, what your body can do will always matter more than how it looks!

This episode contains discussion of eating disorders, which some listeners may find upsetting. If you or someone you know needs support, help is available. In the UK, Beat Eating Disorders offers confidential support at beateatingdisorders.org.uk. In the US, you can contact the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) at nationaleatingdisorders.org.
