In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali breaks down how slow, back of the pack, or injury-prone runDisney runners can actually get faster... without running more miles or trying to train like elite athletes. 

She explains why most marathon and half marathon advice circulating online is written for sub-3 hour runners and absolutely does not apply to someone pacing 14... 15... or 16 minutes per mile. 

Dr. Ali shares 3 simple, proven changes that help everyday Disney runners build a bigger buffer from the balloon ladies, stop blowing past character stops, and feel strong on race day. 

She talks about slowing down long runs to build endurance, fueling for your time instead of your distance, and finally figuring out your true paces so you can stop guessing and start training with purpose.
