Running to the Castle
A podcast for slow, back-of-the-pack, or injury-prone runDisney runners on a journey to running magical miles.
Join me, Dr. Ali, as I share the secrets I've gathered as a runner, Doctor of Physical Therapy and coach.
You'll learn the exact ways I get my clients to the castle strong without feeling broken or held together with KT tape as they cross the finish line.

In this episode of Running to the Castle Dr. Ali congratulates all the Princess Half Marathon Weekend finishers and dives deep into the crucial "what comes next" phase of the training cycle.
She emphasizes that regardless of whether you finished a 5K or the multi-race challenge, every runner needs a structured two-week rest and recovery period to repair micro-tearing in muscles and ligaments.
Dr. Ali explains how to utilize the "build phase" between major race weekends to focus on strength and speed without the competing priority of high-mileage long runs.
By strategically increasing strength training and speed workouts now, back-of-the-pack runners can potentially shave 60 to 90 seconds per mile off their pace before the next training cycle begins in June.
