Dr. Ali has so many helpful tips and is so knowledgeable, but in every single episode she manages to throw in a nugget where she touches on her privilege/wealth. They sound like this: I have a big house so I get a lot of steps in. My garage is so big that I can put a lot of fancy equipment in it. I have my own business. I get to work from home.
Long story short, these lil nuggets turn me off so much that I end up with a lot of half listened to episodes.
As a slow, back-of-the-pack runner, this podcast makes me feel seen! Dr. Ali is so relatable that listening feels like getting excellent advice from a friend.
Excellent information if you are new to runDisney or just starting out as a runner. I like that she breaks it all down (very helpful if you are brand new!) highly recommend!
Oh boy! ( Mickey voice) I can’t even explain how this podcast helped ease all my brains worry as I’m training for my first RunDisney. So helpful , so calm, so great .
Dr. Ali Marty has great information for running races overall. I was fortunate to have found her information before I do the 10k and 1/2 marathon. These are informative concise podcasts.
