RTTC #236 How Do I Build My Confidence to Finish My Race?

from Running to the Castle

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali tackles one of the most common fears runners bring to her: will I actually finish this race? She breaks down why small, incremental training increases build real, physical proof that your body can handle race day, and why a single rough workout due to heat, stress, or life circumstances doesn't mean your fitness is slipping. Dr. Ali shares her "10% more, 10% faster" framework for trusting your training and walks through why looking at the facts, not the qualifiers, is the key to real confidence. She's honest about where coaching ends and professional mental health support may be needed, too. 6 week Speed ProgramReady to stop panicking about how far ahead of the balloon ladies you are and start actually stopping for character photos?
