612. Love on the Run with Emily Infeld & Max Randolph

"I was mortified! Like, I\u2019ve literally told everyone he\u2019s my boyfriend, and he hasn\u2019t told his friends about me! They don\u2019t know who I am!"

Happy Valentine's Day! We're celebrating as we always do on the Ali on the Run Show: with a whole lot of love! This year, it's Emily Infeld and Max Randolph's time to shine. Emily is a Nike-sponsored professional athlete and member of Team Boss, coached by Joe Bosshard. Max is a longtime Nike-employee and self-described "Professional Wife Supporter," making his podcast debut! In this conversation, we hear about Emily and Max's first meeting (fittingly, they met at a cross-country meet), and the long road to their first real date. Plus, how Max proposed, Emily and Max's advice for making a long-distance relationship work (this applies to all kinds of relationships), what Max is like when Emily is racing, and what's next on Emily's racing calendar.

And hey, whether you celebrate today or not, know that one thing is for sure: I love you.
