Episode 77 | Allison Baca on Doing Your Best, Trying New Things & Becoming a Mom
by Nikki Parnell — March 4th, 2022
This week we have Allison Baca on the podcast! Allison is an amazing athlete – she’s done triathlons and cycling races all over the world and is currently a professional runner for Salomon, in addition to being a mom to her almost 11 month old son. We talk about all the things – how pregnancy helped her overcome some of the restrictive diet cultures she experienced in collegiate running and cycling, the nerve-wracking emotions found in pregnancy and the early postpartum days, the feelings of brokenness after having a c-section, how she manages life and training with her husband who is also an athlete and so much more! Allison and her family are super active and adventurous – her husband is from Mexico so they’ve traveled a lot with their son and they’re checking off peaks in the Colorado mountains when they can. Throughout her stories she reminds us of the power of pivoting when something isn’t going right in life and to keep trying new things cause you never know where life will take you. Focus on doing your best and the decisions you make in life / motherhood / running will be right for you!
