In this episode of Running to the Castle, Dr. Ali breaks down why so many back-of-the-pack runners get stuck in what she calls the "gray zone"... running just hard enough to feel exhausted but never fast enough to actually get faster.

She walks through her full pace testing protocol for finding your true easy, moderate, and hard paces, plus the conditions that make your results repeatable from test to test.

You'll learn why average pace is misleading, how often to retest, and what realistic progress looks like over six to eight weeks.
