Send us a textIn this episode of Running to the Castle, you'll learn why fueling and hydration are essential for slow, back-of-the-pack, or “not really a runner” runners training for a runDisney race. Dr. Ali debunks the myth that only fast runners need to fuel, explaining that it’s not about pace—it’s about how long you’re out on the course. She dives into how to choose the right fuel for your body (spoiler: it might be Pop-Tarts, pretzels, or Nerds Gummy Clusters), how much you need (typically 60–90g of carbs per hour), and when to start fueling (hint: don’t wait until you feel lightheaded). You’ll also learn why practicing your fueling strategy on every long run is critical, how to train your gut, and why walking while fueling is totally okay. This episode is packed with practical tips to help you avoid hitting the wall and actually enjoy your race. Plus, Dr. Ali shares her personal fueling strategy and highlights from Stronger.Faster.Finisher. clients who found what worked for them.Learn more about Stronger.
