In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali discusses the essential preparation steps for the upcoming Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend, emphasizing that even though the races are months away, the work begins now. 

She highlights the importance of downloading a structured training plan early to account for personal life events... such as birthdays, vacations, and the start of the school year... which helps runners stay motivated and injury-free.

Dr. Ali, drawing from her physical therapy background, explains how her plans utilize deload weeks to accommodate "life getting lifey" while providing specific advice on balancing running with strength training, recovery, and fueling strategies. 

Whether you are a seasoned runner or starting from zero... this episode serves as a roadmap to navigate the build phase and official training cycle for the Half Marathon, 10K, or Two Course Challenge.
