Summary

"I've tried to get better at knowing that I can't be everything to everyone. But I do want this to be a place where anyone who feels like they are a part of the running community can find something that they enjoy or that inspires them or motivates them or makes them feel good or teaches them something."

Welcome to Ask Ali, a twice-a-month series where I answer all of your questions. This time around, I'm flying through 37 randomly selected listener questions, sent in via Instagram Stories (I'm @aliontherun1), about everything from house hunting, podcast guest selection, and getting recognized on the run, to staying focused and what a day in the life is like.

0:00.0	This episode of The Alley on the Run Show is brought to you by Gooter.
0:04.2	Go to Gooter.com slash on the run and use code on the run 15 to get 15% off your entire order.
0:17.2	Welcome to The Alley on the Run Show.
0:19.5	I'm your host Allie Feller and this is Ask Allie.
0:23.6	No guest host today. Just me, sifting through lots of questions that I received during my last
0:29.8	Instagram story Q&A. I am Allie on the Run One, by the way, on Instagram.
0:36.0	Now I screenshot them, I printed them, I cut them up, and I put all the questions in a cute little box.
0:41.6	Listen. Could you hear that? That's me shaking the box. You'll probably hear that a lot because
0:48.3	my plan is to reach in, pull one out, and answer it. I have not read these in advance, even during
0:55.2	that printing and cutting process. So we'll see what comes up today. I'm excited. I always love
1:00.6	knowing what's on your mind and what you want to know. Before we get into it though, let me shout out
1:05.6	our Ask Allie sponsor. You know I'm, you love them. They are here for another entire year of Ask

1:18.8	for walking, for driving, for hiking, for walking the dog, just for living my very best life in style.
1:25.2	Sometimes I don't even put them on my face. I use them as a headband, and that works too.
1:29.6	Gooter shades are both comfortable and durable, and at just 25 to $35 per pair, that price can't
1:36.7	be beat. My current favorite pair, and I've been mentioning these for at least six months now,
1:42.0	I am still rocking. See you at the party, Richter. They're hot pink, neon pink. They're that very
1:49.2	cool VRG style. They've got the neon frames. You know a Molly Cytle wears these in green.
1:55.6	Loads of professional runners love Gooter sunglasses, and I can see why. These sunglasses are as
2:02.0	tough as some of our favorite runners, like Emily Sisson, Alexi Papis, Brittany Sharmano. They all
2:08.8	know love and wear. Goaters on the run. So, whatever your preference in style, shape, color,
