Episode 236 How Can I Be Sure I’ll Finish the Marathon as a Slow Runner runDisney Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali tackles one of the most common fears runners bring to her: will I actually finish this race? 

She breaks down why small, incremental training increases build real, physical proof that your body can handle race day, and why a single rough workout due to heat, stress, or life circumstances doesn't mean your fitness is slipping. 

Dr. Ali shares her "10% more, 10% faster" framework for trusting your training and walks through why looking at the facts, not the qualifiers, is the key to real confidence. 

She's honest about where coaching ends and professional mental health support may be needed, too.
