RTTC #181 If You Feel Like You Need to Run More to Prove You Can Run The Marathon Do This

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali tackles a belief that keeps so many slow, back of the pack, or injury-prone runDisney runners stuck in fear…the idea that you have to run 26.2 miles in training to prove you can finish a marathon. Dr. Ali breaks down why late-cycle full marathon training runs actually increase injury risk and decrease your chances of feeling good on race day. She explains why training for time on your feet instead of total mileage is a smarter, safer strategy for runners expecting long finish times, especially those training for Dopey, Goofy, or Marathon Weekend. She walks through the math, the physiology, and the mindset shift that allows you to build confidence without burning yourself out…so race day truly becomes your victory lap. 6 week Speed ProgramReady to stop panicking about how far ahead of the balloon ladies you are and start actually stopping for character photos?
