In this episode of Running to the Castle you’ll learn why you always get pain around mile 8 when you’re running. 

Ever felt amazing at the start of your long run — only to hit mile 8 and suddenly crash?
 Heavy legs, aching joints, and the urge to stop and stretch mid-run aren’t signs of weakness. They’re signs that your body isn’t adapting fast enough to the stress you’re stacking.

Today, we’re talking about what’s really happening when you break down at 8 miles — and how you can fix it.
Spoiler: It’s not about working harder — it’s about working smarter.
Dip your toe in, don’t cannonball.

  Hi, I'm Dr. Ali
  I've been running for 15+ years and been in the rehab space since 2012 when I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree. I get injury prone runDisney runners across the finish line without feeling broken.
