Hey! How’s it goin?

In this episode I’m talking about how to set up your training plan to maximize your workouts so you’re ready for runDisney Marathon if you have knee problems.

I recommend creating a training schedule that includes

3-4 running days with long runs, speed workouts, pace workouts, hills, etc

1-2 cross training days to build cardiovascular endurance

2-3 strength training days to build strength and power

2 complete rest days

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.
