Running Is Part of Your Life Not Your Whole Life

Episode 228 Can I Split a Long Run Into Two Runs on the Same Day As a Slow Runner?runDisney Races
In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali explores one of the most common questions she hears from runners: what do you do when life gets in the way of your training schedule?
Dr. Ali shares her personal philosophy that running should fit into your life, not the other way around, and why embracing that mindset is actually what makes training sustainable.
She covers the structure of her recommended training week, the value of cross-training and rest days, and how slowing down on easy runs can transform running from a chore into something you genuinely look forward to.
Whether you're wondering if you can split a long run, skip a workout, or simply miss Global Running Day guilt-free, this episode gives you permission to make running work for your real life.
