In this episode of Running to the Castle you’ll learn the top 3 tmain reasons RunDisney runners do not finish (DNF) their races: pain/injury, insufficient speed (to avoid being swept), and insufficient endurance.  

These issues, often stemming from inadequate training, can be mitigated with a well-structured, adaptable training plan that includes rest and recovery (Deload weeks) and allows for life events. Other ways to help avoid a DNF is work with a running coach who can provide valuable support and guidance to prevent DNFs.
