Welcome to episode 35 of Hurtle, a podcast that talks to everyone from top CEOs to entrepreneurs about how they got through tough times, hurdles of sorts, by leaning into wellness.

My name's Emily Abadi, and I feel like in the new year, I should just take a quick second to reintroduce myself.

I'm a writer, editor, run coach, and podcaster living here in New York City

in a fourth floor walk-up apartment with closets big enough to fit my Cannondale. To hear more about me,

check out episode one where I dish on my freshman year of college hurdle moment that led to me

losing 70 pounds, finding running, and a career rooted in health and fitness. Today I'm chatting

with the lovely Allie Feller of the Alley on the Run Show podcast. And before we get into her story,

a quick shout out to the sponsor of today's episode, Athletic Greens. If there's one thing I've

been encouraging everyone I know to do in the new year, it's buck up and get some of this greens powder.

I shake it up every single morning with about 10 ounces of water in an ice cube,

and it just makes me feel better throughout my day.

They're offering a special deal to hurdle listeners for 20 free travel packs.

That's a $99 value with your first purchase. Just head on over to

Athletic Greens.com slash hurdle to claim it. No code necessary. Again, that's athletic greens.com

slash hurdle. Now, let's talk about Allie. Ever since she was a young girl, she had her heart set

on working in the publishing industry, but not just any job in publishing.

She wanted to be editor-in-chief of Dance Spirit Magazine, perfect for someone who grew up on stage.

By 25, yeah, 25, she landed it.

As editor-in-chief, she was working crazy hours in endless meetings on set at photo shoot after

photo shoot living that New York City grind life I know oh so well myself.

And around that same time, she fell in love with running, tackling her first marathon.

But soon, the stress became too much.
