Pod favorite Tim Carvin is back on The Allie G Show, and this time he's taking us inside one of the most unique races in the running world: the $1 Ultra in New York City. 🏃‍♂️💰

Tim shares what it's like to sign up for a race where you don't know the course ahead of time, how he navigated nearly 68 miles through the streets of New York - including the chaos of Times Square - and what it took mentally and physically to keep going until he was one of the last runners standing.

We dive into pacing, fueling, race strategy, the unexpected moments that made this event unforgettable, and why the $1 Ultra is unlike any race you've ever heard of. Whether you're an ultrarunner, a marathoner, or just love a good endurance story, this episode is packed with laughs, lessons, and plenty of "only in New York" moments.
