RTTC #192 My Run Training Philosophy Why Anyone Can Do Any Distance
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali breaks down her run training philosophy and explains why any runner can complete any distance…as long as the timeline and training approach are appropriate.
She walks listeners through what alignment with a coach really means, why sustainable training matters more than doing “more,” and how slow, back-of-the-pack, or injury-averse runners can train without feeling broken.
Dr. Ali introduces the five phases of a successful running journey and the six categories of training and support that must work together for long-term success.
This episode gives runners clarity on how to evaluate their own training, identify imbalances, and understand why thoughtful, individualized programming is the key to finishing strong and staying healthy for years to come.

Hi, I'm Dr. Ali
I've been running for 15+ years and been in the rehab space since 2012 when I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree. I get injury prone runDisney runners across the finish line without feeling broken.
