645. Emma Bates, LIVE at the Bayshore Marathon

Published: June 1, 2023, 9 a.m.

"That\u2019s the only reason I still do this today, and I\u2019m able to reach new heights in my performance \u2014 it\u2019s because of the people that I\u2019m around."

We heard from Emma Bates here on the Ali on the Run Show right after she ran that 2:22:10 personal best and finished fifth at this year's Boston Marathon. Now, just a few weeks later, she's back and she's live! This episode was recorded in front of a live, 170-person, Disney Channel Original Movie-loving audience at the City Opera House in Traverse City, MI, during the Bayshore Marathon weekend. We caught up, got some life (and dating) updates, and played a few rousing rounds of new-to-the-show games, including Bates Rates, Bates Debates & Hot Takes, and Bates Hates! (Key takeaway from it all: Run hard. Have fun. I love you.)
