Tuesday, 21 April, 2026
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Running to the Castle Dr. Ali recaps her Springtime Surprise weekend experience from start to finish, sharing everything from travel chaos and expo surprises to race strategies and emotional finish line moments. She walks through how she approached each race in the challenge: choosing to walk the 5K, experiment with pacing and character stops during the 10K, and ultimately support a client through the 10-miler to ensure they finished ahead of the balloon ladies. Along the way, she reflects on meeting listeners and clients in person, the powerful impact of their stories, and what it means to help runners accomplish distances they never thought possible. She also dives into lessons learned like managing energy across race weekend, not trying anything new on race day, and giving yourself permission to rest and recover properly afterward.The episode wraps with her plans for the next training cycle, including focusing on a 10K proof of time and incorporating strength work in a way that supports, not overwhelms, her running.Learn more about Stronger.
