Do You Need to Get Faster or Is Something Else Keeping You Slow?
Season 3 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty
Episode 255 Why Do My Runs Feel So Hard When I'm Training Consistently? Slow Runner runDisney Race
In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali breaks down why more speed workouts aren't always the answer when you feel like you're not getting faster.
She explores how race day nerves, run-walk strategy, and summer heat can all hold back your pace, even when your training is right on track.
You'll also learn how to check whether you're truly improving with standardized pace testing instead of trusting how a run feels.
If you run at the back of the pack and want plenty of time for character stops, castle photos, and staying ahead of the balloon ladies, this one is for you.
