RTTC #217 The Non-Negotiable Everyone Should Add To Their Run
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Running to the Castle Dr. Ali shares the one non-negotiable every runner needs to add to their routine, and it’s not another workout, speed session, or long run. It’s recovery. She explains why recovery should be treated as part of your run—not something optional—and how skipping it is one of the biggest reasons slow, back-of-the-pack, or injury-prone runDisney runners end up sore, stuck, or sidelined. Using a relatable coffee maker analogy, she breaks down how to make recovery automatic and walks through her simple but powerful 3-part system: stretching, massage, and temperature-based techniques. The episode reinforces a key belief shift…you don’t need to do more to get better, you need to recover better so your body can actually handle the training you’re already doing. 6 week Speed ProgramReady to stop panicking about how far ahead of the balloon ladies you are and start actually stopping for character photos?
