In this episode of Running to the Castle, you’ll learn what to do when marathon training leaves you with bad muscle pain. 

Dr. Ali explains why suffering through soreness isn’t necessary and walks you through how to adjust your training, prioritize rest and recovery, and use stretching, massage, and cross-training to keep moving forward. 

You’ll hear why adding strength at the wrong time can backfire, how to balance mileage with recovery techniques, and what adjustments can help you stay on track for race day without burning out.
