RTTC #136 The Lie of Strength Training for runDisney Runners

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Running to the Castle, you’ll learn why strength training isn’t the magic fix for every slow or injury-prone runner—and why blindly adding more strength may be doing more harm than good. Dr. Ali breaks down the well-meaning but misguided advice often given to runDisney runners in pain, and explains why pain and pace issues usually come from overload, not weakness. You’ll hear what might actually be causing your symptoms, what to do instead of piling on more squats and deadlifts, and how a smart training audit can help you finish strong without running yourself into the ground. 6 week Speed ProgramReady to stop panicking about how far ahead of the balloon ladies you are and start actually stopping for character photos?
