RTTC #187 Dopey Race Part 6 After the Races

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali walks you through exactly what to do after you finish the Dopey Challenge so you can recover without losing fitness or falling into the all-or-nothing trap that leads to injury or burnout. She explains the two biggest mistakes runners make post-race…doing too much too soon or waiting so long they lose all momentum…and outlines a clear, gentle two-to-three-week recovery plan designed specifically for slow, back-of-the-pack, or injury-prone runDisney runners. Dr. Ali breaks down how to balance rest, walking, cross-training, and your first easy run back, why recovery can take six to eight weeks even if you feel “fine,” and how proper post-Dopey recovery sets you up to enjoy future races like Disneyland, Princess, or Springtime Surprise without feeling exhausted, injured, or mentally fried. 6 week Speed ProgramReady to stop panicking about how far ahead of the balloon ladies you are and start actually stopping for character photos?
