In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali breaks down what consistency actually looks like for slow, back-of-the-pack runDisney runners… and why it has less to do with willpower and more to do with whether you actually enjoy your workouts.

She shares how consistency even counts during rest and recovery phases, and explains how small factors like missing your caffeine or under-fueling with carbs can make a session feel completely impossible.

Through personal examples and stories from her clients, she shows how forcing yourself into workouts you dread, whether it's hills or specific speed sessions, quietly sabotages your ability to keep showing up.

Instead, she encourages you to trust your gut reaction to your training plan and choose movement that feels sustainable and fun, because when your training aligns with what you actually like… staying consistent becomes a natural result, not something you have to force.

  Hi, I'm Dr. Ali
  I've been running for 15+ years and been in the rehab space since 2012 when I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree. I get injury prone runDisney runners across the finish line without feeling broken.
