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