In this episode of Running to the Castle, you’ll learn why finishing strong has nothing to do with running more miles. 

Dr. Ali breaks down the common mistake many back-of-the-pack and injury-prone runners make, adding extra runs or pushing past race distance in hopes of feeling stronger on race day, and explains why that approach often leads to fatigue, burnout, and injury instead. 

Using a soccer analogy, she redefines the phrase “practice like you play,” showing that strength, speed work, strategy, and fueling, not endless miles, are what build true race-day endurance.

Dr. Ali shares how her clients train smarter, not harder, through gradual mileage increases, strategic rest, and carb loading so they can cross the runDisney finish line feeling strong, confident, and ready to enjoy the parks after.
