Description

Today's episode is an interview with Ali Feller of Ali on the Run. Ali discovered running when she was living in NYC as a way to be social, and ultimately fell in love with the sport. She created her blog, Ali on the Run, that eventually evolved into podcast and ultimately led her to become a race announcer and broadcaster. Ali completed the 2023 Eugene Marathon, after which she discovered a lump in her breast that led to a breast cancer diagnosis. Ali has been navigating life with stage 4 cancer while continuing to be a force in the sport, and has so many inspiring things to share.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What it was like when she discovered running, and how she found herself falling in love with the sport
• Her relationship with food growing up as a dancer in the 90's, and how a diagnosis of Crohn's disease at the age of 7 impacted that
• What it has been like dealing with an inflammatory bowel condition that impacts running, and how she has navigated that over the years
• How she created Ali on the Run and what it's like being at the finish line of major marathons
• How her cancer diagnosis has impacted her ability to run, and how the running community has rallied behind her with support
