RTTC #200 If You’re Slow and Training for runDisney, This Is for You

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali celebrates the podcast's 200th episode milestone by dedicating it to the "slow, back-of-the-pack" runners who often feel out of place in a speed-obsessed running culture. She addresses the "naysayers" and the imposter syndrome many experience... especially when faced with negative comments about their pace or body type... and firmly asserts that everyone who signs up belongs on the course. Dr. Ali encourages runners to focus on "non-pace victories"... such as improved energy, health milestones, or simply having more fun... rather than comparing themselves to the highlight reels of social media influencers. By redefining what it means to be a "real runner," she highlights that forward is a pace and that finishing a marathon in eight hours is just as valid and impressive as finishing in three. 6 week Speed ProgramReady to stop panicking about how far ahead of the balloon ladies you are and start actually stopping for character photos?
