    In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali dives into one of the most common runner dilemmas: what to do when you miss a run during training... especially when you're getting ready for something big like the Dopey Challenge.

    She answers a listener question about leg pain and catching up safely after time off, revisiting the 10% rule, explaining when and how to skip a deload week, and how to adjust your long runs without overdoing it.

    Dr. Ali shares her thought process behind training plan design, why one-time mileage jumps can be okay, and how recovery weeks are built in for flexibility, especially for back-of-the-pack and injury-prone runners juggling life, races, and recovery.

  • RTTC #171 How to Run a Faster Marathon
    Nov 6 2025

    In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali tackles how back-of-the-pack marathoners can get meaningfully faster before January races so they have a bigger buffer from the balloon ladies and time for character stops.

    She lays out a simple framework built on purposeful training instead of running the same pace every day.

    Long easy runs should be about two minutes per mile slower than goal race pace to preserve energy.

    Cross-training builds cardio without extra pounding.

    Mid-week speed sessions target fast-twitch fibers using four workouts 30-20-10 surges, progression runs, hills, and tempo to race pace with each session totaling 45 to 60 minutes including warm up and cool down.

    Dr. Ali warns against five-day-a-week same-pace routines that lead to burnout and slower times, and shares wins from her community including runners who gained 30 to 60 seconds per mile within a month and recent Wine and Dine PRs.

    She also mentions a pre-Thanksgiving workshop on getting faster. DM her on instagram at runDisneyDPT for more info.

  • RTTC #170 Strength Training for Slow Runners Who Are New to Lifting with Betsy Foster
    Nov 4 2025

    Send us a text

    In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali welcomes special guest Betsy Foster, founder of Foster Strength and Built Bodies and host of the Your Strongest Body podcast. Together they dive into the world of strength training for women in their 30s and 40s, breaking down the myths about “bulking up,” soreness, and calorie-burning workouts.

    Betsy shares her journey from dancer to strength coach and explains how lifting weights helps women build confidence, energy, and resilience, not just muscle.

    Dr. Ali and Betsy discuss how to unlearn the toxic “exercise to shrink yourself” mindset, view food as fuel, and find a balance between effort and recovery.

    They also cover how to start small with strength training, what realistic progress looks like, and how to train effectively at home or in the gym without feeling judged.

    This conversation is packed with encouragement for runners who want to get stronger, enjoy movement, and build a body that supports their goals without punishment or burnout.
