Welcome to The Alley on the Run Show.

I'm your host, Allie Feller, and I have a bonus episode for you today.

I was very excited to get to host a live show at the New York Roadrunners Run Center,

featuring the new Balance Run Hub on International Women's Day.

When I planned this conversation, I knew I wanted to bring four women together

who could talk about everything women runners know, see, deal with, and think about on a near-daily basis.

Now, we plan to touch on some topics that are still widely considered taboo or maybe uncomfortable.

Everything from periods and unhealthy relationships with food to the lack of diversity in running.

And we covered a lot of that.

But we also covered so much more.

This conversation got into the Ys.

Why we run, why we started running, why we keep running, why we sometimes hate running,

why we always come back to running.

So, big thank you to New Balance and New York Roadrunners for hosting us.

Big thank you to everyone who was in the live audience.

It was a great crowd.

It included my very own Brian Annie and Ellie.

It was a great having the whole crew come out for International Women's Day.

And of course, thank you to this amazing panel of women you're about to hear from.

Hannah Rastami, Rosalind Frazier, Kelly Hogan, and Abby Bales.
