Episode 232 How Do I Fit Strength Training Into My Running Schedule? runDisney Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali gets real about why strength training falls off the schedule, and what to actually do about it. 

She breaks down how to match your strength training approach to your life, your goals, and your brain's bandwidth, including when low weight and high volume makes sense versus when machines might be your best friend. 

Dr. Ali also unpacks the concept of neuromuscular demand, explaining why some exercises feel harder than they should, and why that hidden cognitive load might be secretly derailing your consistency. 

Whether you're training for a Dopey challenge or just trying to stay healthy as a runner, this episode will help you build a strength training habit that actually sticks.
