Global Running Day is Wednesday, June 7! So on this episode, I’m talking about why I run, what I love about the running community, and why I sometimes miss being a new runner. I also share a bit more about my history with exercise addiction, and how I stopped being obsessed with running and instead started seeing it as something to do because I love my body, not because I hate it. Celebrate Global Running Day on June 7 by getting out for a run, whether it’s one mile alone or 10 miles with friends, and then let me know how it goes!

  1. Hey Ali – I call myself a ‘runner’ but for the last 3-4 weeks I’ve been struggling for the first time ever .. . It’s been hard to get out there in the early, cold, dark mornings (yip, I live in NZ and it’s winter in this little corner of the South Pacific). Thank you for your honest portrayal of Running – some mornings are brilliant, easy and wonderful and some mornings are a struggle – but every morning that I do actually get out there I am reminded what a privilege it actually is.
    I listened to your Dan Nevins podcast this morning (and was enthralled) and your Global Running podcast tonight.
    Just wanted to say Thank you for your honesty, enthusiasm and commitment – from a runner that listens, reads and enjoys but rarely comments.

    Best wishes for your current health challenges too – hope you are back to being where you want to be soon.
