Episode 207 How Slow Runners Can Stay Consistent Without runDisney Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali breaks down what consistency actually looks like for slow, back-of-the-pack, or injury-prone runDisney runners…and why it has less to do with motivation and more to do with how your training is structured. 

She shares how unrealistic mileage jumps, poor pacing, and lack of support at home quietly sabotage your ability to stay consistent…and why most runners blame themselves when it’s really the plan that’s the problem. 

Through personal examples and practical strategies, she explains how using smaller, nearly unnoticeable mileage increases, planning for life disruptions, and having honest conversations with your family can help you train in a way that feels sustainable…so you can keep showing up without dread, feeling exhausted, or injury.

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.
