The two women also sneaked in some girlfriend time and caught up on the latest news as they pounded the trail.

Ali recently revealed that she managed to get back into amazing shape less than six months after giving birth to Theo, her son with husband Hayes MacArthur, by Pilates and yoga but admitted it was hard to find the time.

She said: 'From the morning through night, I just wear my workout clothes so that if I can grab a half an hour here or there then I’m ready to go.

‘For a lot of new moms, they don’t have someone to watch the baby, so you put him in a stroller and you just go.

‘You can walk for an hour or two hours. It gives the baby a nap. The fresh air is so important. Get yourself outside, get yourself in nature when you can.’

Ali recently old OK magazine that becoming a new mother was 'humbling'.

'Everything is out of your control. I lived a regimented life, and I was working all the time and keeping a schedule.

'A baby laughs at all that. It's his world now, and I'm on his train,' she said.
She also says that she wishes someone had told her how hard it would be to leave a new bundle of joy.

'Never leave your baby,' Ali laughed. 'Like most mothers in this country, working moms... you have to go back to work. But it's very, very difficult. The love is greater than anything I've ever felt.'
