MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PODCAST
I need more episodes per week!! I listen to this on every run, so I am going back into the archives to listen to older episodes every time I run out of new ones. No other podcast keeps me as interested as this one. Ali is the best interviewer and I often find myself “joining in” on the conversation in my head. Keep up the great work Ali!!

BRIGHTENS MY DAY
I love Ali on the run! Ali is such a wonderful host. She is easy to listen to and asks perfect questions. I love hearing more from the runners I know and also learning about the amazing stories of runners I don't yet. I have also reasently loved how diverse in running ability, background, reason to run etc. the interviewees have been. Keep it up, Ali!!! THanks for brightening my days and runs!

NEW RUNNING COMPANION!
Recently discovered the podcast and have already listened to so many on my runs (and have a lot queued up from the last 3+ years). I love her questions and way she makes me feel like I'm listening in to a chat between close friends. Thanks for all of the content to keep us runners going on the run 🙂

LOVE IT!
I have been listening to Ali on the Run for a few years now and I have always looked forward to her new episodes. She keeps things interesting with different series, and her guests keep getting better and better! Ali is a bright light in an otherwise uncertain time, and I highly suggest you give this podcast a listen. You'll be hooked!

FABULOUS PART OF MY SELF CARE ROUTINE
I love how this show gets me out of my normal groove of life into the shoes of so many interesting and inspiring people. Ali does an amazing job of bringing on a huge variety of guests that tell authentic stories. Ali is a talented host and makes every episode feels like you are a part of the conversation between friends. Soothing and enjoyable to listen to!
