RTTC #206 How to Run A Faster Half Marathon As a Slow runDisney Runner

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali breaks down how slow, back-of-the-pack runDisney runners can actually get faster in the half marathon without exhausting themselves or overtraining. She explains why the build phase, not race training, is where speed is developed, and why most runners stay stuck by running in the “gray zone” without clear pacing strategy. Dr. Ali emphasizes that speed workouts should become the priority, while long runs stay short and easy to support recovery and consistency. She walks through how to properly test and define your easy, moderate, and hard paces so every run has a purpose, helping you push beyond your current limits in a strategic way. Instead of guessing or comparing yourself to faster runners online, she shows how using your own data leads to consistent progress… with many runners improving by up to a minute per mile in just six weeks. 6 week Speed ProgramReady to stop panicking about how far ahead of the balloon ladies you are and start actually stopping for character photos?
