Episode 235 How Many Rest Days Are Okay During Half Marathon Training? runDisney Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali checks in on Week 8 of her Proof of Time half marathon training, recorded during her family's 10-year wedding anniversary getaway. 

She shares how she reorganized her training around real life: swapping days, choosing a staycation over travel, and still getting in speed work, strength training, and a long run. 

Along the way she reflects on visible strength gains showing up in everyday moments, and reminds listeners that a "good enough" week of training beats a perfect one that never happens.

It's an honest look at balancing consistency with flexibility when life doesn't go exactly as planned.
