Proof of Time Half Marathon Training Week 12
Season 3 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty
Episode 243 Can I Get Faster Even If I Take Walk Breaks? runDisney Races
In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali shares Week 12 of her Proof of Time half marathon training journey, digging into what it really takes to hit and hold race pace when your body (and the Las Vegas summer heat) is fighting back.
She explores the experiment of adjusting run/walk intervals versus running straight through, and why testing her own training methods matters before recommending them to clients.
She also gets honest about missing a long run for reasons that matter more than any training plan, and how deload weeks and a flexible mindset keep one skipped workout from derailing your progress.
It's a real look at balancing hard training with real life: perfectionism not included.
