In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali walks you through Dopey Race Weekend Part Two…packing and race week prep…with a very specific lens for slow, back-of-the-pack, or injury-prone runDisney runners. 

Instead of rehashing the obvious basics, she focuses on the often-forgotten recovery tools, fueling essentials, and blister-prevention strategies that actually make the difference when you’re racing 48.6 miles over four days. 

Drawing from her experience as a runner, running coach, and physical therapist, Dr. Ali explains why race week is not the time to experiment, how to approach recovery the same way you trained, and why preventing problems like blisters and chafing is far easier than trying to fix them mid-race. 

If you want to feel as good as possible each morning of Dopey…this episode helps you pack with intention instead of panic.

  Hi, I'm Dr. Ali
