In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali dives into one of the most common runner dilemmas: what to do when you miss a run during training... especially when you're getting ready for something big like the Dopey Challenge.

She answers a listener question about leg pain and catching up safely after time off, revisiting the 10% rule, explaining when and how to skip a deload week, and how to adjust your long runs without overdoing it.

Dr. Ali shares her thought process behind training plan design, why one-time mileage jumps can be okay, and how recovery weeks are built in for flexibility, especially for back-of-the-pack and injury-prone runners juggling life, races, and recovery.

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.
