In this episode of Running to the Castle, you'll learn how to approach the “Training” pillar of the Finisher Framework—the part that covers your long runs, speed workouts, and cross training in a way that helps you build endurance without burnout or injury. 

Dr. Ali breaks down what each type of workout is for, how to schedule your week based on your phase of training, and how to make slow, steady progress that doesn’t wreck your body. 

You’ll hear exactly how to structure your week with just 5 workout days—including tips for pacing, progression, and choosing the best types of speed workouts for runDisney runners who use run/walk intervals. 

This episode will help you train smarter and finish stronger—without being exhausted, in pain, or missing the parks.

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.
