GOLD COAST MARATHON SERIES - ALLIE LYNDON - THE ROAD FROM SLSC QUEEN TO MARATHONS

Former elite Ironwoman Allie Lyndon joins the Gold Coast Marathon Series with one seriously interesting story.After years in surf lifesaving — including chasing the Nutri-Grain Ironwoman Series, racing the Coolangatta Gold, and building a huge endurance engine — Allie is now all in on running. She’s a mum of two, juggling training around family life, shift work, a cleaning business, and the chaos of everyday life, but she’s also aiming very high.After winning the T100 Gold Coast 10km and running 1:18 for the half, Allie is now preparing for her first Gold Coast Marathon with a goal of going sub-2:35. And she’s not afraid to say the big stuff out loud: LA 2028 and Brisbane 2032 are not off the table.In this episode, Courtney and Liam chat with Allie about:​Her surf lifesaving and Ironwoman background​Choosing surf over running as a junior​ Returning to sport after two C-sections​ Why running became her outlet from motherhood​ Training around two young kids and a firefighter husband​ The reality of marathon prep, nutrition, strength work and missed sessions​ Why she’s learning to stay in her lane and stop chasing people in training​ The dream of seeing how far this running journey can goA brilliant chat about ambition, family, endurance, and why it’s still okay to chase something for yourself.Keep up with Allie on Instagram Follow the podcast on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@inthebeginningpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Courtney on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Strava⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Liam on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Strava⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
