In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali tackles the question of whether cross-training actually helps your RunDisney training…and why she believes it absolutely does. 

She explains how cross-training improves cardiovascular endurance, making running feel easier without piling extra stress on your joints. 

Drawing on both client examples and her own childhood sports experience, Ali shows how mixing up your training builds fitness faster, prevents overuse injuries, and helps you feel less wiped out after every run. 

If you’ve ever wondered whether cycling, swimming, rowing, or even playing another sport can make you a better runner, this episode breaks down exactly how and why cross-training works.

  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.
