RTTC #148 The Finisher Framework Part 6 Shoes and Equipment

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Running to the Castle, you'll learn how shoes and equipment fit into the broader Finisher Framework—and why, despite what you’ve heard, they’re not the most important factor in your runDisney training. Dr. Ali breaks down what actually matters when choosing running shoes (hint: it’s not just arch height or brand), how heel drop affects your calves and Achilles, and why breaking in shoes properly can prevent major pain down the line. You’ll also learn what to look for in foam rollers, massage guns, resistance bands, and even the professionals you work with—and how to tell if any of them are helping or hurting your progress. This episode will help you avoid common gear mistakes and understand how to balance your equipment with the rest of your training so you can finish strong, not broken. 6 week Speed ProgramReady to stop panicking about how far ahead of the balloon ladies you are and start actually stopping for character photos?
