Episode 198 Training for Wine and Dine after the Walt Disney World Marathon runDisney Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali addresses a common listener question regarding how to manage training and mileage during the "off-season" or the gaps between major race weekends. 

She emphasizes the importance of the "build phase" to maintain a base level of fitness... specifically recommending that runners never drop below a 5K distance to avoid starting from zero when a new training block begins. 

By focusing on keeping running enjoyable and incorporating strategic rest... recovery... and speed work... Dr. Ali explains how to bridge the gap between events like the Marathon and Wine & Dine without burning out or risking injury.

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.
