EPISODE #159: Life on the Run (and Between the Miles) — with Kylie Mantz

In this episode of RUNWITHALLI LIVE, we sit down with Kylie Mantz — a strong, grounded, and intentional woman who offers a refreshing look at what life really looks like behind the scenes of elite running.

Kylie opens up about life inside the Mantz household during training cycles, the emotional highs and lows of being married to a professional runner, and the quiet moments that often go unseen. The ones filled with patience, faith, laughter, and love!

This conversation isn’t about splits, medals, or records. It’s about partnership, communication, and staying true to yourself while supporting someone chasing extraordinary goals!

Topics We Dive Into:

• The unseen moments between races, during travel, or in the stillness after a big training week
• What running has taught Kylie about patience, perspective, and purpose
• How she stays grounded and connected through the pressure and spotlight of elite competition
• Her favorite race experiences and the little pre-race rituals and quirks that keep things fun
• How Kylie balances being a supportive partner while maintaining her own goals, passions, and identity
• The role of communication and emotional connection during training
• What fans can do to support elite athletes and their families beyond race day cheering
• Why Kylie said yes to joining RUNWITHALLI LIVE and what she hopes listeners take away

Key Takeaways:

Success in sport and life comes from teamwork. The kind that happens quietly behind the scenes. Every athlete’s journey is powered by the people who believe in them when no one’s watching. Balance, communication, and gratitude are as important as miles and medals!

Tune in for an inside look at the Mantz household, where love, patience, and purpose meet performance. I absolutely loved my chat with Kylie! She’s honest, kind, and refreshingly real. I walked away inspired by her story, and I know you will too.
