Episode 115 Reasons Why runDisney Runners Do Not Finish Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle you’ll learn the top 3 main reasons RunDisney runners do not finish (DNF) their races: pain/injury, insufficient speed (to avoid being swept), and insufficient endurance.  

These issues, often stemming from inadequate training, can be mitigated with a well-structured, adaptable training plan that includes rest and recovery (Deload weeks) and allows for life events. Other ways to help avoid a DNF is work with a running coach who can provide valuable support and guidance to prevent DNFs.

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.
