👑 This Isn’t Just Another Free Plan

Most free plans are designed for younger, faster, lifelong runners.

This one? It’s built for real people: slow, back-of-the-pack, or injury-prone runners.

If you've ever followed a plan and still ended up in pain, this is your second chance to get it right—with guidance made just for you.

What runners are saying

  • “This is one of the best training plans I have ever seen or used. I was so impressed with depth and care she has put into this…. I can not recommend Dr. Ali's training plan enough.” - Dana S

  • “Yours is truly about steady healthy growth, avoiding injury, plus you can offer so much more with your background.”  -Becky B

  • “Your training plan was the first I’d ever heard of the 10% rule or saw mileage increases of uneven decimal numbers. It’s been fantastic! There’s no dread about jumping up and down entire mile each week.” - LoveRunWalkDisney

  • “I cannot even express to you how much I loved your training plan. I’ve run multiple half marathons and have always have pretty intense knee pain by the end and when I hit mileage in this plan where I was running over a half marathon I was SHOCKED that I had no knee pain. The marathon was definitely challenging to run but I’m proud to say that I completed dopey with ZERO knee pain the entire training cycle and weekend. I really never thought that was possible but thank you!” - Ashley T

  • “Training plan is great for full time workers. Enough exercise to get me to do long runs on Sunday but not too much where you feel too exhausted to do anything else.” - Joaquin

  • “Ali’s plan is easy to follow and if you are one that tends to get hurt or injured or even currently injured this plan helps work around that. I am one that didn’t follow the plan exactly because well life. Even with that it helped me complete my first marathon and first Disney Dopey race. I highly recommend not only the free plan but her classes that give you different strength exercises with variations that will help insure you complete your race injury free.” - Jennifer M

  • “I felt so confident going into the Dopey challenge after using this plan! I made it all the way through training without any knee arthritis flare-ups (which historically is rare for me!) and ended up with an HOUR PR in my marathon time. I felt amazing during the entire race weekend/my first Dopey. The mileage increase and schedule was so digestible and doable, it really boosted my confidence that I can be a successful runner and improve my running despite chronic knee issues. Thanks Ali!” - Colleen

  • “Dr. Ali is the best. Not only did her plan help me prepare for my first full Marathon and first Dopey, she helped me with her podcasts. I learned more about fueling and training better with overcompensating in my knees. Not only did I complete my Dopey, I didn't have too much pain.” - Liesl

  • “Was a very easy transition from the Galloway training plans. Helped me go the distance and did not leave me exhausted or disinterested in doing the training.” - Glenn

  • “This is my first! Juggling a 3 year old and 4 month old at the same time. Your plan makes it feel really doable!” - Instagram user
