In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali dives into one of the most common runner dilemmas: what to do when you miss a run during training... especially when you're getting ready for something big like the Dopey Challenge. 

She answers a listener question about leg pain and catching up safely after time off, revisiting the 10% rule, explaining when and how to skip a deload week, and how to adjust your long runs without overdoing it. 

Dr. Ali shares her thought process behind training plan design, why one-time mileage jumps can be okay, and how recovery weeks are built in for flexibility, especially for back-of-the-pack and injury-prone runners juggling life, races, and recovery.
