Rest & re-evaluate

Rest & re-evaluate

Pain that keeps getting worse when you're training is a sign of over training… in other words your body is getting worked too much, too stressed out and it's too much.

To re-evaluate how much you're running take these steps:

If the pain continues on for days after this run: rest for those days before returning to run.

Re-evaluate your training plan: can you remember a distance or pace or both that doesn't hurt?

Run the distance you know that doesn't hurt: If you know that distance or pace, the next time you run do that distance and/or pace.

If you don't know that distance: rest for now & cross train until you’re ready for a test run. Email me, Dr. Ali, and I’ll walk you through how to do a test run that doesn’t hurt.

Here’s what to do next

Hi!👋🏻

I’m Dr. Ali 

I help women train for and finish runDisney races when they’ve had an injury.

I knew I wanted to help people from a young age, originally thinking I wanted to be a physician and realizing as a Sophomore in high school that I actually wanted to be a physical therapist. And through the years that has progressed to including a personal trainer and nutrition coach to help my clients reach their running goals after being injured.

Originally from Massachusetts I left to go to college and grad school at Ithaca College where I received my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree (DPT). After working a few years in Massachusetts and Rhode Island in outpatient orthopedic clinics I moved to Las Vegas where I currently work and live with my husband, Royal and our dog, Levi.

When I’m not working you can find me reading Harry Potter, at Disney (or wishing I was), crocheting Amigurumi, or running and walking around my neighborhood.
