In this episode of Running to the Castle you’ll learn 5 Signs You’re Going to Not Finish Dopey.

These signs include

  • Bought 3 new pairs of shoes in the past 6 months
  • Something hurts every time you run 8 miles or more
  • You’re pushing to keep that 15’30” pace on every run
  • You’re setting a new PR every long run
  • You’re doing more strength exercises now to fix an injury

I want you to be aware of these signs because you may not have all 5, but if you have 1 or more and it’s early in training season you can quickly adjust to lower your chances of not finishing, and improve your chances of finishing Dopey.

    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.
