RTTC #129 Why Traditional Marathon Plans Don’t Work for Slower Runners

Send us a text

In this episode of Running to the Castle you’ll learn why slower runners need smarter plans, not harder plans, why running 26 miles before race day won’t guarantee you’re ready, and what you actually need to train for instead.

Have you ever followed a marathon training plan and felt more exhausted, sore, and discouraged the closer you got to race day?

You’re not alone — and it’s not your fault.

Most traditional marathon plans weren’t written for slower runners. They don’t account for longer time on your feet, slower recovery, or the toll extra miles take on your joints. And stacking more mileage isn’t the answer.

  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.
