RTTC #257 I'm Not Hungry on My Long Run Do I Need Fuel?
Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali tackles one of the most common fueling mistakes she sees: waiting for hunger to tell you it's time to eat.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali explains why she pulled out of her proof of time 10K during race week.

RTTC #255 Do You Need to Get Faster or Is Something Else Keeping You Slow?
Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali breaks down why more speed workouts aren't always the answer when you feel like you're not getting faster. She explores how race day nerves, run-walk strategy, and summer heat can all hold back your pace, even when your training is right on track.

RTTC #254 Proof of Time Half Marathon Training Week 20 Taper
Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali explains what the taper really is and why the right amount of pulling back changes with your race distance. She uses a Merida bow and arrow analogy to show why doing too much and doing too little can both keep you from a strong race day. She covers what to stop the moment your peak long run is done, and why "more is better" rarely applies here. She also shares how an unexpected back flare-up reshaped her own ...

RTTC #253 Do You Need to Run More Than 3 Days to Train for a Marathon?
Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali tackles a debate that keeps resurfacing on social media... whether 3 days of running a week is actually enough to train for a marathon.

Dr. Ali makes the case for consistency and injury prevention over ...
