Episode 174 Getting Faster With Run/Walk runDisney Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali breaks down how slow, back of the pack, or injury-prone runDisney runners can actually get faster... without running more miles or trying to train like elite athletes. 

She explains why most marathon and half marathon advice circulating online is written for sub-3 hour runners and absolutely does not apply to someone pacing 14... 15... or 16 minutes per mile. 

Dr. Ali shares 3 simple, proven changes that help everyday Disney runners build a bigger buffer from the balloon ladies, stop blowing past character stops, and feel strong on race day. 

She talks about slowing down long runs to build endurance, fueling for your time instead of your distance, and finally figuring out your true paces so you can stop guessing and start training with purpose.

Hi! I’m Ali. I’ve been in the health and wellness space since graduating with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2012. I worked in the typical outpatient clinic with active men and women with orthopedic injuries (shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, muscle and ligament tears, knee pain, IT Band pain, plantar fasciitis, and hip and knee arthritis until 2018 at which point I started Mobile Physical Therapy in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the past few years I’ve transitioned to helping women running runDisney races after they’ve had an injury and they want to finish strong and enjoy the rest of their runcation.
