396. Ask Ali!

Published: July 9, 2021, 9 a.m.

\u201cThe word should can put us into tricky places. Because who\u2019s to say what we should or should not do? A lot of things in life are a lot more nuanced than should or should not, yes or no, black or white.\u201d

Welcome to Ask Ali, a twice-a-month series where I answer all of\xa0your\xa0questions. This time around, we\u2019ve got listener questions about racing, nutrition, New York City must-dos, running plateaus, Orangetheory memories, and so much more. Plus: a surprise appearance by Brian Cristiano! Thanks to everyone who called in for this one. Enjoy!

If you want to be part of a future \u201cAsk Ali\u201d episode (yay!), call\xa0917-947-9699\xa0\u2014 introduce yourself, and ask whatever\u2019s on your mind! I can\u2019t wait to hear from you!
