In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali tackles one of the biggest fears for slow, back-of-the-pack runDisney runners: getting swept by the balloon ladies. 

She explains why training every run at a 15-minute pace is a recipe for burnout and shares a smarter strategy that combines long, slow runs for time on your feet, shorter speed workouts to build efficiency, cross-training to boost fitness without extra pounding, and proper rest and fueling to keep your body strong. 

With the right plan and pacing, you can start in the last corral, stay ahead of the sweepers, and confidently cross the finish line without a dreaded DNF.

  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.
