RTTC #190 How to Stay Consistent Training for runDisney Races

from Running to the Castle

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali breaks down why consistency is the real challenge for runDisney runners…and why it feels harder when you sign up for a race eight to nine months before you actually start training. She explains how trying to do too much too soon leads to burnout, injuries, and the familiar cycle of falling off the plan, then feeling frustrated with yourself. Dr. Ali walks listeners through a more sustainable approach to consistency by focusing on realistic commitments, small habit-building strategies, and structuring training around what your life can actually support…not what an internet plan says you “should” be doing. This episode reframes motivation as unreliable and shows how pairing training with existing routines, starting with less, and planning long runs intentionally can help slow, back-of-the-pack, or injury-prone runners stay consistent all the way to race day. 6 week Speed ProgramReady to stop panicking about how far ahead of the balloon ladies you are and start actually stopping for character photos?
