WELCOME TO FINISH LINES & MILESTONES, A PODCAST FOR EVERYDAY RUNNERS. IF YOU RUN, YOU’RE A RUNNER. AND EVERY RUNNER HAS A STORY.
NEW EPISODES EVERY FRIDAY 5AM EST.
the HOST: Ally Brettnacher
I’m just your everyday runner who loves running and talking about running. I’ll be driving down the road - see a runner - and think - “I wonder why they’re running? Are they training for something or running simply to run?”
So, in April of 2023, I decided to start this podcast. I had no idea where it would take me, but I never imagined the community it would create. I’ve made some great friends and met so many incredible people.
In late 2025, I joined the SandyBoy Productions podcast network that was founded by Lindsey Hein. I’ve been listening to her podcast, I’ll Have Another with Lindsey Hein for nearly a decade and I’ve had the chance to meet Lindsey when she lived in Indiana. We’ve even started hosting some live events together.
170+ episodes later and I still love every single conversation I’m lucky enough to have with a fellow runner. I also still feel like I’m trying to figure everything out. Aren’t we all?
Every runner has a story.
You’ll hear some of story sprinkled throughout these conversations, but instead of listening to episode 1 of my podcast (the audio 🫠), check out these interviews from other shows.
