Summary
"Whatever you need, I hope you got at least a little of it here today."
What an honor and a treat it was to get to host a live show the day before the 2024 Boston Marathon with 2014 champion Meb Keflezighi. In this conversation — recorded live at the New Balance headquarters — Meb talked about how he was feeling the day before running the race again, 10 years after his historic win the year after the bombings. He talked about officially becoming a New Balance athlete (!!!), about his hopes to run sub-3:00 (he finished in 3:08), and the impact his 2014 win had on him, his family, the city of Boston, and the running community.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Alley on the Run show. I'm your host Ali Feller and we are in |
| 0:08.8 | Boston Marathon Mode. I've done dozens of live shows at this point in my career. I love live shows. I'm also |
| 0:16.7 | super critical of them. It's very rare that I get off whatever stage I was on and say |
| 0:21.6 | wow that went perfectly. |
| 0:24.4 | Nailed it! |
| 0:26.0 | Well, the conversation you are about to hear |
| 0:28.8 | was one of my all-time favorites. |
| 0:30.9 | I loved it so much from start to finish. What an absolute honor it |
| 0:36.7 | was to get to host a live show the day before the 2024 Boston Marathon with Mebb Kefleski. |
| 0:44.1 | No doubt, the busiest man in Boston this year. |
| 0:48.0 | 10 years after his historic iconic life-changing win |
| 0:52.3 | in Boston, we got to hear from the legend himself for |
| 0:55.9 | the very best pre-race pep talk ever. And how fun to get to do it at the new |
| 1:02.0 | balance headquarters in celebration of the fact that Meb is officially a New Balance |
| 1:08.6 | athlete. Meb is now supported by New Balance, and that just makes sense to me. |
| 1:13.9 | He wore a pair of New Balance Rebel V4s during the show, |
| 1:17.2 | and he raced in the New Balance Fuel Cell |
| 1:19.9 | SC Elite V4. |
| 1:22.1 | So how'd the race go? Well, Meb is human and it was tough out there. |
| 1:27.0 | His goal as you'll hear in this conversation was to run a sub-3 marathon and he came across the line in 308. Still pretty darn respectable. But Meve is Meve. He was out there giving high fives and cheering on his fellow runners and doing what he does best, inspiring the masses and winning |
| 1:46.0 | their hearts in the process. |
| 1:48.0 | I feel so very fortunate to get to call Mebb a dear friend. |
