    No surprise this podcast doesn’t pull any punches, Ali’s 100% authentic, honest and sometimes brutal style is fantastic. Always look forward to a new episode.

    Damo is quite good too.

  • Newly sober newly running LOVE THIS SHOW

    I found Allie because the magic computer cookies recommended me her book/pod as I’m newly sober and gorging on all the quit lit stuff. I have always known that when I finally quit the booze I would become obsessed with running/exercise (still gotta get those highs 😬). Now I’m no ultra runner (one day) but Allie and her co hosts have so much good advice that is transferable to any level of running/sport, and just to life in general. Particularly love this series as it is about success. And extra... more

  • Love it

    I rarely leave reviews but I am so impressed with this I have to tell everyone.

    Love the psychobabble, if fact it’s what keeps me coming back. The mix of experience and expertise of Allie and her variety of co-hosts is like free coaching. My favourite thing though is the overarching theme that running isn’t, shouldn’t and can’t be everything but the lessons you learn through running are all relevant in every other aspect of your life.

    Keep going ❤️
