About this episode
We were all new runners once! On this episode, Lucy Wallace and I look back on all the things we didn't know or understand when we first started running, from shoes and sports watches to race etiquette. Here are a few highlights: At 4:30, Lucy says: "I Googled 'shoes that are good for not running.' The only thing I cared about was colors. I wanted them to be bright." At 7:15, Ali says: "The only place on my body that hasn't chafed is the little wrinkles in my forehead… The most emotional part of running is the post-run shower." At 11:10, Ali says: "I woke up one morning in ninth grade and after all those years of wishing on the first star I see at night for boobs, I got them. Literally overnight." At 15:10, Lucy says: "Shout-out to my dad for paying for my cell phone." At 16:00, Ali says: "This seems like a good pre-race dinner because it only cost $1.99!" At 17:55, Lucy says: "I'm doing a service to this race course by listening to Justin Bieber's entire Purpose album right now."
