075: Death Race and What was Learned with Ally Robinson


Listen Later

In this episode of the Tribe Runners Podcast, host Liz Myers talks with ultra runner and coach Ally Robinson about her powerful transformation from a life in ballet to the extreme world of ultra running. Ally opens up about using running to reclaim confidence and purpose after a difficult chapter in her life, and how the sport became a lifeline for healing and growth.

Ally shares a behind-the-scenes look at the infamous Death Race. An unpredictable, mentally punishing event where even finishing unofficially is a triumph. From training with unorthodox methods to pushing past physical and emotional boundaries, Ally reflects on the grit and resilience demanded by races like this. She also offers insight into the supportive yet rugged community that forms around these experiences.

Looking ahead, Ally sets her sights on the Across Florida 200, a new frontier in her ultra journey. Throughout the conversation, themes of mental toughness, community, and the evolving meaning of “tribe” in the endurance world take center stage.

Whether you’re an ultra runner or just curious about what drives someone to seek out the limits of human endurance, this episode is full of real talk, inspiration, and hard-earned wisdom.
