Hey, how’s it goin?

I’m Dr. Ali.

I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy, run coach, and personal trainer who works with runners training for runDisney races… especially the ones who don’t always feel like “real runners.”

The runners I work with often:

• start in the later corrals

• plan to use run/walk

• finish toward the back of the pack

• love Disney more than speed work

And yet, they still want to cross the finish line feeling proud, confident, and excited to celebrate… not wiped out and questioning everything.

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy and coach with 14+ years in rehab, I design training plans that help slower-paced runners train in a way that actually feels doable and sustainable… so race weekend doesn’t feel overwhelming or out of reach.

When I’m not reading Harry Potter, wishing I was at Disney, hanging out with my dog and husband, or crocheting amigurumi, I’m helping runners stop overthinking their training and start trusting that they can do hard things… even at their own pace.

You don’t need to be fast.
You don’t need to love running.
You just need a plan that meets you where you are.

You deserve to cross the finish line at Disney feeling confident… not broken.
