Episode 251 Will I Get Slower After a Month Off From Running as a Slower run/walk Runner runDisney Race

In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali combines two weeks of Proof of Time Half Marathon training into one honest, "it just didn't happen" kind of episode. 

Week 17 got wiped out by travel... a trip to Massachusetts to visit family and meet her new niece, a flight delay, a Wi-Fi outage, and a pile of laundry that pushed her only workout, a long run, two days late. 

Week 18 started rocky too, but the week turned around fast: a speed workout testing new run-walk intervals that beat her 10K race pace goal even with a slower running split, and a long run using yet another interval combo to protect her legs before race day. 

The takeaway she wants every runner to hear... after a rough stretch, your pace doesn't crumble, but your legs might be sore, so treat that first week back like a recovery priority, not an afterthought.
