As an Alaskan who watched you zipping up Mt Marathon I’m so happy for you in all your athletic accomplishments but more than that your coming to terms with your health and your brave journey you’ve made, you go girl!!!
Back in 2019 we stayed at Lake Garda for 3 days, but it was more on the southern side and the opposite side of the lake. The road around the lake was crazy to drive. We love Italy and hope to buy some property near Florence once we retire. Glad you enjoyed it
Can't wait to see more running content from Italy! My husband and I want to go in the near future. I love "touring" new places while running! I body feels the same way when we travel long distances. Nothing better than hitting the gym or going for a run to cure it, in my opinion. Movement is medicine for sure!!
Southern Italy needs some Allie and Spencer too! I'm sure you'd love Neapolitan pizza and coffee. Anyway, glad to hear you enjoyed your time in my country. Italian stan here cheering for you :-)
I miss Italy . I have cousins in law in Sicily. Plus my family used to rule Sicily and Napoli. I miss Spain more than I miss Italy. Last time I went back home to Spain was 2011. In went to Sicily in 2012.
Great footage! Europe is a marvelous place. Good luck on the trails! Excited to see what's next on your sojourn...More info about the expo would have been interesting
Enjoy Italy! My partner and I have had the privilege of living in Rome and Padova, as well as traveling around the country, and it is a one of a kind place! (Eat the pastries and pasta. All the pastries and pasta.) Can't wait to see more vlogs of your experience!
A country named Chicken....I can dig it. Italy what incredible history!! Enjoy every minute. Pizza and gelato what more could 2 earthlings ask for! Georgie is out of control without you guys 😂😂. Thanks for this great vid.
Most major cities have embassies for other countries around the world. Embassies are international soil so you could technically visit the world in your own backyard.

Your run/hike looks beautiful, I'm so jealous! That bag is twice as big as you! I think you still had room for Georgie in there. Birkenstock should buy you a new pair of sandals! It takes me a few days to recover from travel (sitting), even when I'm only in a car. Magic Spoon has milk protein, so not for lactose intolerant I'm guessing.
You slept 7 hours?! I wish I could do that on planes. Also super interesting that you connected in Istanbul to get to Venice. The two routes I usually end up taking to get there is either through JFK or Munich. My family is from that region (I am a dual citizen) - if you get a chance to go back I highly recommend any trail running in the Dolomitis. Cortina d'Ampezzo is a great place to stay - it is a total cute mountain town but athletic focused (so there are a bunch of well-known brands with stores there like Patagonia for example). And yeah, trails just everywhere! It's crazy. And most are very well marked and tell you how far you are from some next point. When I come back from running trails there I find all our local trails here in San Diego disappointing. Italy spoils you. I leave for Italy tomorrow morning! But we will be on the Aosta Valley side (UTMB goes through this area). Not excited for the jetlag and 15 hours or travel time (literally this is the only time I wished I lived on the east coast), but stoked for the rest of it!
I'm full time trails right now :) but I have the freedom to switch during different times of year. We chose to go to Turkey because it was the shortest overall travel time and cheapest!
The first words that came to mind, aside from "spectacular trip", were when I saw the percussor, that Allie is sooo smart!!! Oh my gosh, 20 hours on the plane, that can feel like you were hit by a car....sort of like how I feel....oh yeah, I was hit by a car! Sometimes you just have to laugh, no matter what! Likely that percussor is the best thing you could bring, next to Spencer! What incredible scenery, beautiful trails, and for that matter....pizza! Allie Ostradner (perhaps that is the Italian spelling of your last name?) .....have an amazing trip! Looking forward to your next video.
@@allie_ostrander Thank you Allie O! I am glad that you are having an amazing trip in Italy, and that you were able to run, swim and hike. Well, maybe that hugely vertical hike after 20 hours of plane travel and jet lag....Yikes! But you did well. I sure hope that you are feeling much better. Bringing the percussor was so smart!!! Have an amazing trip. I am healing up, and hope to be able to jog in another month and maybe get on a stationary bike in 2 weeks. No more road bike ever again, and my attorney is trying to identify the driver that hit me while riding around a library parking lot and having the right of way. In the meantime...I shall enjoy watching you run in Italy and wherever else your travels take you to. Have fun, see the sites, and enjoy some awesome Italian cuisine!
I hope you both are having a wondeful time in Venice thank you for taking us with you. The run you did up the moutain would you say it was harder then the alaska moutain that you use to do races on ? The scenary is really nice there how was the food? Hope you both enjoy the rest of your time over their have a great weekend.
The run we did up a mountain was pretty short, so tough to compare to Mount Marathon in Alaska. I would say this one was more exposed though. The food has been good so far! Sooooo much pizza and pasta! Tough to find anything else haha
"Flex on the locals" - LOL Btw, I'm big on calisthenics and body flow stuff (check out Vahva Fitness), it it the foundation of my running. Lean and strong. There's a whole world of workouts that are both super good and a lot of fun. I'm not big on mileage running 'minimalist' footwear so I'm focussing more on speed and running form.
Everyone should be so lucky to have an Ari in their life.
agreed!
I'm so glad you liked the trip, as an italian. Can't wait to see more :)
So jealous of this trip. Looks amazing and cannot wait to see more.
As an Alaskan who watched you zipping up Mt Marathon I’m so happy for you in all your athletic accomplishments but more than that your coming to terms with your health and your brave journey you’ve made, you go girl!!!
Garda one of the nicest places to visit
WOW enjoy your time in italy it looks absolutely amazing and so much fun!!!
How amazing! Italy has some beautiful trails for sure.
So glad you guys both had a wonderful time in Italy. And Georgie was living his best life too! :D
Back in 2019 we stayed at Lake Garda for 3 days, but it was more on the southern side and the opposite side of the lake. The road around the lake was crazy to drive. We love Italy and hope to buy some property near Florence once we retire. Glad you enjoyed it
The road in and out was so beautiful!
Ferraris, pasta, and skateboards Italy is pretty cool.
Nice. I visited Lake Garda in late July, but was on the south side. This video made me want to go back. Too much to visit, look at and run to.
Bro Italy is beautiful
It really is!
OMG Allie, you were made for Italian hill towns!!!!!
Can't wait to see more running content from Italy! My husband and I want to go in the near future. I love "touring" new places while running! I body feels the same way when we travel long distances. Nothing better than hitting the gym or going for a run to cure it, in my opinion. Movement is medicine for sure!!
Italy was great! I would highly recommend Riva del Garda and Canazei!
I for one am most appreciative of the Georgie update. :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it. We have been living for the photo and video updates!
Southern Italy needs some Allie and Spencer too! I'm sure you'd love Neapolitan pizza and coffee. Anyway, glad to hear you enjoyed your time in my country. Italian stan here cheering for you :-)
Omg yesss froot loops are the best!!!
Glad you're having fun together!!
Our favourite international trail runner Allie Ostradner
I miss Italy . I have cousins in law in Sicily. Plus my family used to rule Sicily and Napoli. I miss Spain more than I miss Italy. Last time I went back home to Spain was 2011. In went to Sicily in 2012.
So excited for you, and seeing the rest of the vlogs!
the rest of the vlogs will be coming in hot ;)
Morning Allie happy Friday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you and I enjoy your channel
Great video and looks like a lot of fun! A very cool experience.
It's been so fun so far!
Great footage! Europe is a marvelous place. Good luck on the trails! Excited to see what's next on your sojourn...More info about the expo would have been interesting
the expo was just a fair full of booths set up by outdoor brands like Nnormal, Salomon, north face, vibram, cotopaxi, etc, etc. It was huge!
Great video🫶🧡🌵
Great video. So happy that you could experience Italy!
I'm stoked to keep seeing more of this beautiful country!
Enjoy Italy! My partner and I have had the privilege of living in Rome and Padova, as well as traveling around the country, and it is a one of a kind place! (Eat the pastries and pasta. All the pastries and pasta.) Can't wait to see more vlogs of your experience!

Not much more we could ask for really....except pasta ;)
What do I know....

Embassies are not international soil.

Yes, Magic Spoon isn't great for those who are lactose intolerant unfortunately...hopefully they come out with a dairy-free option soon!
Welcome to Italy Allie and Spencer. 🇮🇹🇺🇲 Next? Dolomites and GTS? 👍💪
You slept 7 hours?! I wish I could do that on planes. Also super interesting that you connected in Istanbul to get to Venice.

I went to the dolomites for a few days and absolutely loved it!
First ELMT now Magic Spoon….imma just use your food choices as reference for my grocery list. I am in dire need of protein!
it's so so tasty! I was impressed.
Ok I’m going to Istanbul airport soon and it’s good to know it’s huge😅sorta worried about the layover but at least I am aware now!!
haha it is huge, but easy to get through!
Living the dream. Good on you.
Enjoy the fruits of your labor, you deserve it.
thank you!
Amazing place .enjoy watching your new videos .hope you didn't bump in to two many snakes on the trails out there.
The peanut butter magic spoon is the best.
My favorite is the frosted!
Ciao, Allie. Divertiti in Italia. Goditi la vita.
Georgie: my humans are going to Italy!
Georgie’s friends: you are going to have so much fun!
Georgie: I know!!!
Georgie!!
So many questions, why did you choose have to go to Turkey first? Are you a full time trail runner now? What is your first trail race?
I'm full time trails right now :) but I have the freedom to switch during different times of year. We chose to go to Turkey because it was the shortest overall travel time and cheapest!
@@allie_ostrander Allie, thanks for your reply ☺️

I guess those 20hr of travel gave me a little glimpse into how you're feeling during your recovery from the accident...I feel for you!!

That's great! I hope all goes well. {I love going to Italy. I speak several languages including Italian.}
Italy is incredible.

reading david goggins book ---> i can't explain it we've just been really in to pull-ups recently 😂
haha I guess there could be a correlation here...
Cool sailboats boats along the lake, but that one Star Class sailboat needs a little spreader help.
You need to try “Pocket Coffee” while you’re there. Will not disappoint. It’s chocolate with actual liquid espresso inside.
I would...but I don't like chocolate unfortunately..
Here is SO HOT don't know in the north but i live near Rome i don't know what time of the day to run 😅
haha yes when we were in Venice is was roasting!
you thrive=georgie thrives
Allie!! What happened? We were watching the GT coverage hoping to see you there. Did you race?😢
Hope you are okay! Love from Amsterdam ❤
I am okay! Thank you for checking in :)
So I have been watching you since you were at BSU. Are you going to be competing again anytime soon?
hopefully soon!
Put like big name tags on your bag cause they go missing and have essential kit on over head storage.
Allta vista ,?? Wait. Watch
Glad you are having a good time but I miss Georgie. 🐶
we miss him so much!
I’ve been to Sicily to visit In laws.
What a nice break for you and Spencer! Be nice Americans in a foreign country. Haha
we are trying to be nice haha
A three-hour bike ride... That would have bored me to death.
Can't keep Allie Ostradner off the trails in Italy.
hahah it nearly bores me to death every time!
@@allie_ostrander I know. I saw another video where you said you were bored with a shorter bike workout. 🙂☺️🙂
if you think that was amazing just wait until you see Switzerland and the Swiss apps view from lake Zurich.
Can't wait to see it!
Wow what hotel did you stay in!
hoody health resort...something like that! Would highly recommend!
Was this your first time to Europe? ❤❤❤
I've only ever been to the UK!
Ciao, bella 😊

always gotta flex on the locals a bit.
Allie Im just assuming you can do more pullups than Spencer, right? 🙂
haha last time we had a competition, we tied!
Take the light rail to the airport.
Dolomyths?
Haha, they misspelled your name @4:51
I know haha
Random question- do you still hate chocolate? 😄
Haha…yes unfortunately!
@@allie_ostrander oh noooo 😂 maybe one day.
What exactly is the archetype of a girl that goes to Europe? Curious European asking.
haha basically has a big backpack and makes the trip her entire personality lol
somebody stop allie before she just hikes all the trails in europe 😳
NO ONE WILL STOP ME
Be careful over there. Young girl alone or even with only 1 guys is a very easy target for " bad " guys. Just google what happens over there ...
