In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali walks through every workout from Week 4 of her Proof of Time half marathon training… the wins, the hard ones, and everything she had to rearrange when life got lifey. 

She digs into the "2 minutes per mile slower than race pace" advice that gets passed around constantly online, and explains exactly why it doesn't work for back-of-the-pack and run/walk runners the way it's intended to. 

Dr. Ali also shares what she's learning in real time about pacing, run-walk intervals, and how cumulative training stress across an entire week affects a single workout. 

If you've ever had a run feel completely off and couldn't figure out why, this episode will give you the bird's-eye-view framework to make sense of it.

  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.
