Summary

"Everyone’s doing their dream, you know? There are people who are winning, and that’s their dream. There are people who, just being there, that’s their dream. Hearts are being broken. It feels like you’re on that most emotional day of your period for two weeks."

Michelle Wolf is best known for her work as a stand-up comic. (Earlier this year, she wrote Kim Kardashian's bit for Netflix's Tom Brady roast.) But runners know: She's one of us. Michelle is an ultramarathoner and track and field super fan. (She even worked with Hayward Magic at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, OR.)

In this episode, Michelle returns to the Ali on the Run Show to kick off all things 2024 Paris Olympic Games. We're recapping our viewing experiences and most memorable moments as two of running's most eager cheerleaders.
