In this episode of Running to the Castle you’ll learn how to finish Dopey and enjoy training!

Ever feel like you’re just trying to survive your training plan — counting down the days, hoping you can “hang on” until race day?

You’re not alone — but you’re stuck in what I call the survival trap.

If you’re training for Dopey, Goofy, or your first marathon, and you’re already feeling worn down, tired, or hurting, this episode is for you.

I’m breaking down:

✅ What the survival trap looks like
✅ Why more mileage isn’t always the answer
✅ How recovery (done right) makes you stronger
✅ And how to shift from “surviving the plan” to training for the experience
