In this episode of Running to the Castle, you’ll learn why the first and last four weeks of your training plan matter more than most runners realize… especially if you’re slow, back-of-the-pack, or injury-prone.

Dr. Ali breaks down why early overload or recent mileage spikes are often the hidden cause of pain, burnout, or plateaus.

You’ll discover how those first few weeks set the foundation for the entire cycle, and why the last few weeks reveal if your body’s keeping up or falling apart.

If you’ve been frustrated, hurting, or unsure why training isn’t clicking, this episode will help you zoom out, spot the pattern, and start making smarter adjustments.

And if you’re tired of figuring it out alone, Dr. Ali shares how Stronger. Faster. Finisher. can help.

  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.
