Marathon Weekend 2019

[Donna3271]

There is a new requirement for charity bibs requiring hotel & ticket purchases. Team Up Autism Speaks has 10K bibs with a $500 fundraising commitment.

Hi Bree,

I PM'd Nikki. Our charity offers room and hotel discounts, but it is not mandatory AT ALL that we stay there or even purchase park tickets! We are staying at a one bedroom Villa in BLT. Other charities may differ.
Charities, do however have to rent a certain amount of rooms to stay a preferred charity. Our organization is a bigger one, so we are not mandated. TUA may be smaller, so they are mandating their runners to get the room through them to stay on preferred status.

For those of you who (like me) registered for your first marathon this week... Have your runs felt different ever since? I feel like I have a bigger purpose, a new goal. In less than 6 months I will be a marathoner. It’s all very exciting!

My 7 miles felt easy this morning, specially now that I know that’s only 1/4 of the distance I need to do.

Tell me about your diet. Anyone here on the Keto diet and IF?

Junk food vegan (not WFPB). I can’t say it’s helped my performance.

Pescatarian who's let her WFPB part slide to about 40% junk since she started working a year ago. Intends to reign it in for training with more whole foods.

Good morning, runDisney all-stars!

What a week! By now, I think most - if not all - of us are signed up for our respective marathon weekend races. With that in mind, this week's Sundays are for Disney is all about goals ... what are your for the weekend? These can be anything you want and don't feel like you have to stick to running or rattle off specific paces, times, etc. Instead, what does a fun and successful marathon weekend look like for you?

My goals:

Finish my first Dopey.
Achieve some sort of balance between competing in the races and spending time with my family.
Meet some fellow runDisney all-stars.
Try some new restaurants without compromising any races.
At least bounce in and out of DATW
Check out Toy Story Land and Pandora
Take a ton of photos

Have a great week, everyone.

1. Actually train. Last year's training was a good effort for me until early December, when an Achilles injury derailed it.
2. Don't plan, don't stress. My boyfriend hasn't decided between the half and the full, but either way, I learned in January that we may work in a recovery day regardless. I have a bit of a reputation for being a slave driver when we travel.

Sundays are for Disney:

I am planning to go for PR's at every distance for Dopey next year. I've been under-prepared the last three years and really want to put forth my best effort again. When I get there the plans may change because the goal is more about having the ability to go 6 for 6 on PR's (including Goofy and Dopey) than it is about actually achieving it (characters and rides may be calling). The reality is my PR's are achievable enough that I may be able to attain it even with character and ride stops during the Marathon.

Outside of that it's always about arriving and staying healthy and having a great Disney racecation.

 

[run.minnie.miles]

SAFD:
My main goal is start and finish the race healthy and happy!
(A successful training season will help that of course.)

 

[Bree]

Goals:

• Stay healthy and injury free
• Get a photo in front of Cinderella Castle
• Eat yummy food
• Meet up with other DIS runners
• Finish my first marathon in DISNEY!!!

 

[LdyStormy76]

SAFD: Be healthy arriving, take it easy in the parks, and cross the finish line for my first marathon.

Ride stops, I just don't know if I could do. I've thought about it, but I have this fear of then completely falling apart after getting off it. Which rides are you thinking?

The easiest ride to hit is the Tower of Terror. It's right on the course so you don't lose any time running out of your way.
