RTTC #250 Why Am I Still Not Getting Faster?
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali breaks down the five warning signs that tell her a runDisney runner's speed workouts simply aren't built for them...even after months or years of consistent training. This episode is specifically for the 13-16+ minute per mile, run/walk crowd who keep hitting a wall: speed workouts written in distance instead of time, workouts that call for race paces you haven't actually established yet, strides tacked onto the end of an already-exhausting long run, hard intervals that are too long for your run/walk rhythm, and that flattened-out, exhausted feeling that follows every single workout. Dr. Ali explains why each of these misses the mark for run/walk runners, walks through her four go-to workout types...30-20-10s, progression runs, hill sprints, and tempo runs...built around your actual run/walk intervals and paces, and shares how her Back-of-the-Pack Runner Speed Program, with its waitlist open now is designed to help you get faster before your next runDisney race, whether that's Wine & Dine, Marathon Weekend, Princess, or Springtime Surprise. 6 week Speed ProgramReady to stop panicking about how far ahead of the balloon ladies you are and start actually stopping for character photos?
