RTTC #136 The Lie of Strength Training for runDisney Runners

Send us a text

In this episode of Running to the Castle, you’ll learn why strength training isn’t the magic fix for every slow or injury-prone runner—and why blindly adding more strength may be doing more harm than good. 

Dr. Ali breaks down the well-meaning but misguided advice often given to runDisney runners in pain, and explains why pain and pace issues usually come from overload, not weakness. 

You’ll hear what might actually be causing your symptoms, what to do instead of piling on more squats and deadlifts, and how a smart training audit can help you finish strong without running yourself into the ground.

  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.
