"I was mortified! Like, I've literally told everyone he's my boyfriend, and he hasn't told his friends about me! They don't 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. SPONSOR: Tracksmith: New customers, use code ALINEW for $15 off your first Tracksmith order over $75.
