RTTC #196 How to Incorporate Daily Walking into Your Running Routine

Send a text

In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali addresses a listener's question about how to balance a long-standing daily walking habit... particularly in a hilly neighborhood... with the added physical demands of training for a runDisney race challenge. 

She explores the concept of establishing a physical "baseline" and provides guidance on how to recognize the signs of overtraining... such as persistent exhaustion or a lack of motivation... while offering practical solutions like adjusting walk intensity or prioritizing rest days to ensure training supports rather than hinders performance. 

Throughout the discussion, Dr. Ali emphasizes that while daily movement is beneficial, runners must remain flexible and willing to adjust their routines based on their body's recovery needs and specific race goals.
