Summary

“The word should can put us into tricky places. Because who’s to say what we should or should not do? A lot of things in life are a lot more nuanced than should or should not, yes or no, black or white.”

Welcome to Ask Ali, a twice-a-month series where I answer all of your questions. This time around, we’ve got listener questions about racing, nutrition, New York City must-dos, running plateaus, Orangetheory memories, and so much more. Plus: a surprise appearance by Brian Cristiano! Thanks to everyone who called in for this one. Enjoy!

If you want to be part of a future “Ask Ali” episode (yay!), call 917-947-9699 — introduce yourself, and ask whatever’s on your mind! I can’t wait to hear from you!

0:15.5	Welcome to The Alley on the Run Show. I'm your host Allie Feller and it's just us today
0:20.4	for this edition of Ask Allie. This is where you get to call in and ask whatever's on your mind
0:26.3	and I'm here to answer. But before we get to the Q&A portion of this episode, I like to start
0:31.9	the Ask Allie episodes by taking a deep breath, not just me. Oh no, you're doing it too.
0:36.8	All of us together because even if you only take one deep breath every other week,
0:41.5	it's important. So let's do it together in and out and then we'll get to the good stuff.
0:45.2	I'm trying to focus on my nice relaxing deep breath, but really all I heard was my neighbor
0:56.6	who seems to be leaf blowing again. There's a lot of leaf blowing that happens every day in
1:02.9	New Hampshire. What's that about? I mean, I guess it's about the leaves, but let's just let them be
1:08.2	the leaf blow. It's loud. It's all the time. Anyway, clearly that deep breath worked. I feel so

1:19.3	you want, we tend to cover a little bit of everything on these from running and motherhood and
1:23.5	podcasting to, well, leaf blowing. And muffins, I feel like we talk about muffins, a significant
1:29.9	amount on this show. Now, if you want to ask a question for the next edition of Ask Allie,
1:34.8	I would love to hear from you and the way to do that is to call the official Allie on the
1:39.2	Run Show Voice mailbox. The number is 917-947-9699. Don't worry, I'm not going to answer. No one's
1:49.4	going to answer. It's going to go right to voicemail. Again, it's 917-947-9699. I include that number.
1:56.7	I've got it in an Instagram highlight at Allie on the Run One and on my website in the show notes
2:02.1	everywhere. So you don't need to write it down. But I'd love to hear from you. So if you like getting
2:07.3	to know your friendly neighborhood Allie on the Run Show host a little bit better, this is the
