Episode 192 How Slow, Back-of-the-Pack Runners Can Train for Any Distance Without Feeling Broken runDisney Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali breaks down her run training philosophy and explains why any runner can complete any distance…as long as the timeline and training approach are appropriate. 

She walks listeners through what alignment with a coach really means, why sustainable training matters more than doing “more,” and how slow, back-of-the-pack, or injury-averse runners can train without feeling broken. 

Dr. Ali introduces the five phases of a successful running journey and the six categories of training and support that must work together for long-term success. 

This episode gives runners clarity on how to evaluate their own training, identify imbalances, and understand why thoughtful, individualized programming is the key to finishing strong and staying healthy for years to come.

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.
