"She said, \\u2018This is how it was supposed to be. This is how it was supposed to feel.\\u2019 And at that moment, I realized the magnitude of what we gave to each other."
Fan favorite Jess Sims is back \\u2014\\xa0and this time, she returns to the Ali on the Run Show as a marathoner! On April 18, the beloved Peloton instructor surprised the world by showing up at the start (and finish!) line of the Boston Marathon. And she had a good reason for keeping her marathon debut on the down-low. In this very special conversation, Jess talks about receiving a fateful message from Boston Marathon bombing survivor Michele Blackburn last December \\u2014 a message that ultimately guided Jess every step of the way toward that finish line on Boylston Street. Jess talks about her training, about how she felt on the start line, and about why she still feels marathon imposter syndrome, even after earning that blue and yellow medal. (You\'ll want tissues on hand 17 minutes into this one. You\'ve been warned.)
