Influencer Allison Kuch <\/a>was able to balance running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon<\/a> with motherhood \u2014 and without missing a step.<\/p>\n

\u201cSix months postpartum, and I\u2019m here,\u201d Kuch, 31, said in a Sunday, November 1, Instagram<\/a> video, taken at mile marker 17 in the middle of the 26.2-mile course while breastfeeding her 6-month-old daughter, Pepper. \u201c[When] moms put their minds to something and go after it, like, moms are so powerful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kuch received plenty of support in the comments.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are incredible! Mile 17 is where everything starts to break down and here you are shining, inspiring, and breastfeeding!\u201d Tyler Cameron, who has run the NYC Marathon multiple times in past years, replied. \u201cUnreal! Honored to call you a friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brylee Armstrong added, \u201cMy idol [for real].\u201d<\/p>\n

Kuch gave birth to Pepper in April. (She also shares daughter Scottie, 2, with husband Isaac Rochell.)<\/p>\n

Rochell, 31, and Allison\u2019s sister, Emily Kuch, were among the influencer\u2019s biggest cheerleaders on race day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWTF is nonchalant,\u201d the former NFL player wrote via Instagram<\/a> on Sunday, showing off his Allison-inspired purple T-shirt, multiple cameras and a giant poster with his wife\u2019s face on it. \u201cSo locked #nycmarathon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allison revealed earlier this week that she would be running the marathon<\/a> with makeup brand Maybelline \u201cfor mental health\u201d initiatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cFun fact \u2014 there are \u2018lactation stations\u2019 along the route, so you don\u2019t have to pack a [breast] pump,\u201d she wrote via her Instagram Stories on Friday, October 30, revealing her mid-race nursing plan. \u201cThey have pumps provided at the start line and there\u2019s three stops on the route.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Allison, she wanted to run the marathon to teach her daughters an impactful life lesson.<\/p>\n

Before making her way to the starting line, Allison has been candid about her postpartum experience<\/a> since welcoming Pepper.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen people ask, \u2018How are you doing postpartum?\u2019 My brain goes to two places: sleep and mental health,\u201d she said on the latest episode of the couple\u2019s \u201cCouldn\u2019t Agree Less\u201d Netflix podcast. \u201cHere\u2019s my issue with postpartum: Everyone worries about the baby, about birth [in the moment]. \u2026 Four months postpartum, nobody\u2019s checking in, and I would say that\u2019s the hardest time of postpartum.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allison added at the time, \u201cFour months postpartum is hard because you\u2019re out of newborn-ness, your baby\u2019s more aware, they don\u2019t want to be set down, you\u2019re going through the four-month sleep regression, you\u2019re still breast-feeding. People are expecting you to be back and, like, mama is not back.\u201d<\/p>\n
