Podcast
Written By Ali Marty

Season 1 Episode 61 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty

In this episode of Running to the Castle I’m discussing the controversial topic of running more than 3 hours.

I’m answering the question is running more than 3 hours bad for you? I’m talking about this in relation to training for a marathon and discuss if you should or shouldn’t limit your training runs to 3 hours.

In particular I’m discussing this in relation to slow runners, runDisney runners who will finish their marathon in 6+ hours. I also discuss options for getting the training in to make sure you cross the finish line.

Hi! I’m Ali. I’ve been in the health and wellness space since graduating with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2012. I worked in the typical outpatient clinic with active men and women with orthopedic injuries (shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, muscle and ligament tears, knee pain, IT Band pain, plantar fasciitis, and hip and knee arthritis until 2018 at which point I started Mobile Physical Therapy in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the past few years I’ve transitioned to helping women running runDisney races after they’ve had an injury and they want to finish strong and enjoy the rest of their runcation.
