We break down what we saw during the Princess Half Marathon Weekend queue, why more runners are walking away disappointed, and what might be behind the slower movement now that old workarounds are gone. We also talk through the bigger forces at play like field size limits, staging constraints, rising demand, and the way social media can amplify FOMO and frustration.

Then we pivot back to what actually moves the needle: training with humility and consistency. We share practical summer running reminders on hydration and slowing down in heat, plus a smart pacing tool for sticky weather: the Galloway magic half mile. If you’ve ever panicked after getting new training paces, this conversation is for you, especially if you’re trying to build longer run intervals without blowing up.

Runner’s World Senior Health and Fitness Editor Donna Raskin joins us to talk longevity, evidence-based fitness advice, and why runDisney stands apart from typical racing culture. She connects movement to independence, community to health, and reminds us that “old” and “overuse” aren’t diagnoses. We wrap with a race report spotlight that hits straight in the heart: Amy returns to racing on the Yellow Brick Road after chemotherapy and celebrates being cancer free.

We start by mapping the season ahead, talking base building, long-run confidence, and how to sneak in hill work even when you live somewhere flat. We also share one of our favorite community rituals: a collaborative Spotify training playlist that turns solo miles into a shared soundtrack and helps you find new “go-to” songs when motivation runs low.

Then the mood shifts to the headache a lot of runners felt this week: Princess Half Marathon Weekend registration gets postponed. We talk through what it’s like to sit in the queue, how tough it is when people rearrange work and family schedules, and why the added service fee makes the whole thing sting more. We also wrestle with the uncomfortable question: if races keep selling out fast, what pressure would actually lead to better registration tech and clearer communication?

From there, we go full gear nerd with a roundtable on running technology. Garmin vs COROS watches, Shokz bone conduction headphones, hydration vests, the Gymboss interval timer for run-walk training, Strava add-ons, and the new gadgets that tempt us, including ENGO sunglasses with a heads-up display. We also share honest buyer’s remorse, from fueling experiments that wreck your stomach to lights and accessories that never live up to the ads.

We wrap with a spotlight that brings the fun back: Andrew the Puppet Runner joins us to share his free summer virtual race (5K, 10K, and half) and why he’s connecting it to fundraising for No Kid Hungry. If you enjoy practical training talk, real world Run Disney updates, and gear advice you can use right away, hit subscribe, share this with a running friend, and leave us a review so more runners can find the Rise and Run family.

Fireman Rob joins us to explain why he races in full firefighter turnout gear and what that choice has to do with mental health, hope, and letting people know they’re not alone.

We talk about the realities behind the gear: the heat you can’t escape, the sweat-soaked weight that only gets heavier, and the mindset required to keep moving when there’s no “easy mile.” Rob shares how he trains for the uncomfortable, how the fire service teaches calm under pressure, and why the most important skill is learning to talk to yourself kindly when you’re hurting. He also opens up about being part of search and recovery at 9/11, the lasting impact of trauma, and how running became a way to keep moving forward one step at a time.

Before the interview, we hit the latest runDisney conversation starters, including the 2027 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend themes and artwork, the excitement of seeing Jasmine finally headline the Half, and the budget trade-offs many runners are making as prices rise. We also share a practical “What Would Alysha Do” on adapting your training plan when life throws a curveball, plus community updates, YouTube content for Disney resort running routes, and a packed race report full of PRs and proud finishes.

If you take one thing from this, let it be Rob’s reminder: keep moving forward. Subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next, share the episode with a running friend, and leave a review to help more Run Disney runners find our community.

They’re full-body logistics puzzles, city-wide celebrations, and emotional pressure cookers that reveal what your training is really made of. We sit down with runners who lined up at two of the biggest stages in the sport and tell the story from the inside, from expo wins and wallet pain to the moments when the course turns and your plan has to change.

Before we get to the World Marathon Majors recap, we share something closer to home: Bob reflects on losing Lily and the unexpected way she helped him find running again after an Achilles injury. From there, we shift into the here-and-now work that supports every big finish line, including staying consistent in the “training valley,” managing summer heat and humidity, and building a recovery routine that actually keeps you healthy. We talk steps, treadmills, dew point, hydration, pacing expectations, protein, electrolytes, and the small choices that add up when training ramps back up for runDisney season.

Then we go deep on Boston Marathon and London Marathon experiences. You’ll hear how runners get into Boston through charity fundraising and sponsor pathways, what race morning really feels like in Hopkinton, and how the hills and the finish on Boylston land when it’s your first major or your sixth star. In London, we break down travel and jet lag tactics, an impressively engineered multi-start system, on-site bib printing, iconic landmarks like Tower Bridge, and crowds so loud you can’t hear your own headphones.

If you enjoyed these stories and tips, subscribe, share the episode with a running friend, and leave a quick review so more runners can find the Rise and Run community.

We’re back with the full recap of the inaugural Rise and Run cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas, and we’re sharing what surprised us, what we’d do differently, and the moments that turned a trip into a four-night running community meetup.

We talk through the send-off at Pop Century (yes, Pluto shows up), the bus ride to port, and that first step onto a ship that feels more like Vegas than a quiet getaway. Then we get into the practical stuff you’ll actually want if you’re planning a cruise: buffet and crowd strategy on embarkation day, how the muster drill works on Royal, where to find calmer adult-only spaces like the Solarium Bistro, and what a sail away party is like when it’s loud, long, and unapologetically high energy.

From there, it’s the good stuff: our group cruise run on the Deck 5 track (wind tunnels included), Nassau choices and the Royal Beach Club reality check when the weather doesn’t cooperate, a medaling celebration inside the Pesky Parrot tiki bar, and the Aqua 80s show that had us talking long after curtain call. We also share what it’s like to record a live podcast on a ship, plus the onboard chaos of Price Is Right Live and an escape room win.

We wrap with Perfect Day at CocoCay highlights and a look ahead to Cruise 2.0 with a listener survey to shape what comes next. If you love runDisney community energy, running travel tips, and honest trip debriefs, hit play, subscribe, and then share this with a friend who’d absolutely join the next adventure. What would your dream podcast cruise look like?

You can learn a lot about a running community by the questions they ask, and this week our listeners showed up with everything from serious marathon nerves to wildly fun runDisney hypotheticals. We dig into smart offseason training so you do not drift between race weekends: setting a local goal race, building an aerobic base, adding strength and mobility, and respecting summer heat. We also get specific on proof of time strategy, including why certain distances help, what counts for different runDisney weekends, and how planning ahead can change your corral placement and your whole race-day experience.

Then we jump into listener questions that are pure runDisney joy. We design dream Disney race courses with more time inside the parks, more Animal Kingdom and Pandora, a better Hollywood Studios stretch, and the return of that iconic World Showcase finish that feels like a true victory lap. We talk bucket list races outside of runDisney, bucket list moments inside Disney, and whether you should chase Dopey, Goofy, or “just the marathon” based on what you actually want your weekend to feel like.

The mindset talk gets real when we answer how to calm first-time Dopey and first-time marathon anxiety. We lean on trust-the-process training, run-walk pacing, and practical mental tricks for hard miles and lonely long runs, including music, podcasts, community messages, and finding a group that supports interval runners. Plus, we debate the most important question of all: if you could replace gels with Disney snacks as on-course fuel, what would you pick?

If you love runDisney, marathon training, and a community that celebrates every PR, every proof of time, and every finish, hit play. Subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more runners can find the Rise and Run family.

Merch sold out by lunchtime. “Perfect” status quietly returned. Someone built a race plan around getting a photo with Boba Fett. That’s the kind of wonderfully specific runDisney chaos we love, and we’re recapping it live from the inaugural Rise and Run Cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas.

We break down the 2026 RunDisney Springtime Surprise weekend from the expo to the finish line, including what went smoothly, what still needs fixing, and how to think about merch strategy if you can’t arrive on day one. We also talk about the surprise perfect recognition, why messaging matters for long-time participants, and what runners can do when demand keeps feeding resellers. Along the way we share a big personal update, Greg’s honor of guiding a runner through the New York City Marathon, plus some of the sponsor support that makes these weekends and trips easier to plan.

Then we hit the races: the 5K with standout theming and costumes, the 10K from a cheering perspective with behind-the-scenes finish line logistics, and the Inside Out themed 10-miler that closes the runDisney season with moody lighting, core memory vibes, and character stops that spark big feelings. Star Wars energy shows up loud through character lines, which leads to our ongoing debate about whether a full Star Wars race weekend could return and what might be standing in the way.

We finish with a rapid-fire race report, a live trivia contest that doubles as a weirdly fun Rise and Run history lesson, and plenty of moments that remind us why the runDisney community keeps growing. Subscribe for more runDisney race weekend recaps, share this with a friend planning their next Disney running trip, and leave a review with your favorite Springtime Surprise moment.

Star Wars energy shows up loud through character lines, which leads to our ongoing debate about whether a full Star Wars race weekend could return and what might be standing in the way.

We finish with a rapid-fire race report, a live trivia contest that doubles as a weirdly fun Rise and Run history lesson, and plenty of moments that remind us why the runDisney community keeps growing. Subscribe for more runDisney race weekend recaps, share this with a friend planning their next Disney running trip, and leave a review with your favorite Springtime Surprise moment.

He taught people to believe they belong. We put our normal Rise and Run format on pause to honor Jeff’s life and collect the stories that explain why his impact feels so personal to so many runners, from first-timers to legends.

You’ll hear from ultrarunner Dean Karnazes on Jeff’s generosity, his love of marathon history, and the Greece trip that’s now becoming a Jeff Galloway Memorial Tour. Amby Burfoot takes us back to a time when running on the roads made you look like an alien, then explains how Jeff helped turn a misunderstood pastime into a welcoming, mass-participation sport. Bill Rogers discusses what he respected most: Jeff’s kindness, the way he made strangers feel like friends, and the joy he injected into marathon culture.

Coach Chris Twiggs shares what it’s like to learn directly from Jeff’s books and mentorship, and why the run-walk-run method is really about sustainable marathon training, injury prevention, and keeping the doors open for beginner runners. Westin and Carissa Galloway close the circle with the family view: the same calm, curious, proud dad at home is the one you meet at a runDisney expo, answering emails, remembering your story, and insisting you take credit for your own finish lines.

 If Jeff ever helped you think, “I didn’t know I could do this,” you’re already part of what Jeff built.

We start by remembering Lauren Bullis, a beloved Rise and Run community member whose kindness showed up in every Holler Hype, comment, and encouraging word. In the wake of her passing, our listeners do what runners do best: we show up. A simple, powerful idea takes hold, dedicating runs across the country to help Lauren reach her dream of racing in all 50 states, turning grief into a shared tribute and a reminder that community is built one mile at a time.

Then we pivot into Springtime Surprise mode with the kind of practical runDisney talk that actually helps on race week: meetup details, travel stress, early alarms, and the latest Brook's runDisney shoe drop (including what’s available at the expo and what ships later). If you’re heading to Walt Disney World, juggling a challenge, or just trying to enjoy the parks without your legs falling apart, these small logistics matter.

Our featured guest is Dr. Ali Marty, a physical therapist, run coach, and host of the Running to the Castle podcast. We dig into running recovery, injury prevention, and smarter training: the “too far too soon” trap, underfueling, how to spot early warning signs like plantar fasciitis symptoms, and how to tell normal soreness from a problem. Dr. Ali also shares simple strength training for runners (single-leg heel raises and single-leg deadlifts) plus her favorite recovery non-negotiable after hard workouts, and yes, her famously simple pre-run fueling approach.

If this helped you, subscribe for more runDisney training tips, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more runners can find the show.

Jim takes us from being a teenage Olympian to racing at Mexico City altitude, then back to the quieter memories of Tokyo that still shape how he views people and competition.

Because we’re the Rise and Run crew, we also bring it home to runDisney. Jim shares his connection to the first Walt Disney World Marathon, why he leaned on run-walk strategy, and what events like runDisney races do best for brand-new runners: education, community, and a reason to keep showing up. 

Then we shift into Springtime Surprise mode with a listener-friendly logistics rundown, including expo timing, virtual queues, transportation notes, corrals, spectating limits, and key course changes so you can pack your “patient pants” and actually enjoy the weekend.

With Earth Day around the corner, we spotlight Sneakers4Good, a sneaker reuse and recycling organization that helps keep used running shoes out of landfills while supporting microenterprise partners around the world. You’ll learn what kinds of shoes to donate, how the mail-in bag works, and why one simple closet cleanout can create real impact.

If you like the mix of running history, practical race planning, and community vibes, hit subscribe, share the episode with a running friend, and leave a quick review. What’s one goal you’re taking ownership of this season?

We’re joined by Kerry Flynn, a lifelong Lord of the Rings fan and seasoned half marathoner, to break down the Middle Earth Halfling Half Marathon in New Zealand: the small-field logistics, the afternoon start, the trail terrain on a working farm, and the very real elevation that turns “cute themed race” into an earned finish. She also shares what surprised her most, how photo ops and characters work outside the Run Disney machine, and why the post-race celebration feels like a perfectly on-brand reward.

Before we head to Middle Earth, we do a Springtime Surprise training check-in and cover community announcements, including Jeff Galloway memorial run details and our plans for a special tribute show. Then we tackle fresh Run Disney news with reactions to the Summer Virtual Series themes, the medals, the extras in the box, and the big question of virtual races versus saving for a live weekend at Walt Disney World.

We wrap it all up with our Disney Movie March Madness finale and a stacked race report from the Rise and Run community, plus a spotlight chat with Tom Stokes on what most runners miss when they hit a plateau: underfueling, skipping strength work, and training without a year-round plan that matches your race calendar. If you’re into Disney running, destination races, run-walk-run strategy, and real-world training talk, this one has it all.

We sit down with director Zach and students from the East River High School Choir, one of the groups that brings big, joyful sound to the final mile at Walt Disney World. They share how the runDisney relationship started, what Disney Entertainment actually means when they ask for a “gospel choir,” and how song choices are designed to push runners to the finish line.

We get into the real logistics too: a 2:45 AM school call time, warming up before sunrise, performing for hours, and timing the start of singing to runner flow. The students tell us what shocks them every time, from elaborate costumes and selfie stops to the emotional shift when a tired runner perks up, smiles, and starts moving again. If you have ever called the choir your “last-mile fuel,” you will hear exactly why that impact is real.

Then we pivot into pure community fun with Round 2 of our Disney animated features March Madness bracket, complete with debates, surprises, and Patreon tiebreakers. We also bring back Podcast We Listen To with a great chat featuring Peter and Kelly from The Lowdown On The Plus-Up, a theme park podcast packed with deep history, wild connections, and stories that get way darker than you’d expect from an attraction deep dive.

We wrap with updates, challenge results, and a loaded race report spanning first races, PRs, tough-weather wins, and even a 100-mile attempt. If you’re training for Springtime Surprise or just need a reminder that community can carry you farther than you think, hit play, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more runners can find us.

We share exactly how the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend sign-ups played out for our crew, including the moments that went sideways, the workarounds that still worked, and the community trust that helped multiple friends land the races they wanted. We also break down the sellout times and talk about what to do if you got shut out, from charity options to alert tools, plus a clear warning about social media scams claiming they can “transfer” bibs. 

From there, we shift into one of our favorite traditions: Rise and Run March Madness. This year’s bracket is all Disney and Pixar animated movies, seeded using Rotten Tomatoes scores with Patreon votes powering the play-in games and acting as the tiebreaker when our panel splits. Expect soundtrack love, nostalgia, a few surprise upsets, and plenty of opinions you will want to argue with on your next run. 

We wrap with a full race report and a standout spotlight featuring Holly, who takes us through the New York City Half Marathon with New York Road Runners. She covers the Javits Center expo, start-area logistics, the cold morning that turns into perfect racing weather, and the unforgettable stretch over the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan, Times Square, and Central Park, plus how she clocks a new PR.

Tokyo Marathon looks like a postcard until you remember one detail that can change everything: the cutoffs are based on gun time. We sit down with several of our friends fresh off a plane from Japan to get the kind of Tokyo Marathon recap runners crave, the stuff you can’t learn from a highlight reel. They share how they got in (lottery vs charity), how they handled jet lag, what the expo is really like, and the cultural surprises that made Tokyo feel so different from any other World Marathon Majors weekend.

Then we get into race morning reality: navigating to the start, corrals, bathrooms that are somehow both legendary and organized, hydration rules, and what it feels like to run with strict checkpoints hanging over your head. You’ll hear the strategies that helped them stay calm, the moments that made the course memorable, and why that final stretch can feel like the longest kilometer of your life. There are PRs, happy tears, and a lot of respect for the planning it takes to finish strong.

We also zoom back to runDisney life with Marathon Weekend registration coming up, a candid talk about whether your first Dopey Challenge should also be your first marathon, and a timely charity spotlight with the Special Forces Foundation on how their runDisney charity bibs work plus practical fundraising ideas. If you’re mapping out your next big race goal, this one is packed with travel tips, training truth, and community support.

We navigated an expo frenzy as Brooks’ princess-themed shoes sent lines snaking across the building, watched Disney pivot fast to keep characters and bands on course during a misty 10K, and soaked in small moments that turned into big memories: a family’s first 5K together, a triumphant TinkerBob, and the scent of BoardWalk bacon drifting through a fast, happy morning.

The half marathon became a quiet masterpiece. Overcast skies, steady breezes, and a surprise wave from Cinderella, the Prince, and Fairy Godmother lifted runners through those famous Magic Kingdom miles. Near the finish, a semicircle of fairy godmothers dusted us with wishes, and the course felt less like a race and more like a rite of passage. Some of us set PRs. Others walked every step on purpose. All of us leaned on run-walk-run, hydration, and patience—the essentials Jeff Galloway taught us so many times.

And then the finish line gave us a moment we’ll never forget. A chair where Jeff once stood filled with Mickey gloves, ribbons, and a lone Gymboss. Pacers gathered with flags, cheering wave after wave just as Jeff would, offering thumbs-ups and “you did it” to faces still catching their breath. When the sun finally broke through, it felt like a blessing on a weekend that was both hard and healing. We also check in on races from Tel Aviv to Seattle and Atlanta, sharing wins, decade PRs, and lessons that carry beyond the parks.

If you ran, cheered, or simply needed a reminder that miles can mend, this one’s for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a nudge, and tell us: What’s your favorite Princess Weekend moment—or your best Galloway memory? We’d love to hear it.

A Chat with Running in Makeup 231: Joffrey's, Dr. Pepper, and Chaos Oh My! A Chat with Running in Makeup The news hit like a thunderclap: Jeff Galloway, the voice behind run-walk-run and a steady light at so many runDisney start lines, has passed away. We pause to honor the coach who made marathons feel possible, share early thoughts through the shock, and invite everyone at Princess Weekend to carry his legacy in the miles ahead.

From there, we shift into a packed, upbeat show that keeps community at the center. We break down the new Marathon Weekend artwork and what Donald’s 30th half marathon anniversary might mean for medal design and race-day energy. Then we revisit Springtime Surprise medals—initially “simple,” until we spot the glitter and fluid movement that will pop in person. On the expo front, we debate the Brooks Princess releases: Rapunzel braids on laces, bold character palettes, why specific IP sells better than weekend branding, and where a Merida colorway could still shine. It’s practical talk for anyone timing their expo line or eyeing limited drops.

Our spotlight guest, Kristen of Running in Makeup, returns with real-world wisdom. After an injury and a purposeful pause from filming, she details how stepping back sharpened training, improved form, and delivered a 30-minute marathon PR. We trade chaotic race-morning tales (forgotten insoles!), celebrate inventive costumes (a Joffrey’s coffee cup for the win), and lean into her post-long-run Dr Pepper ritual rooted in Baylor and Waco lore. The heart of it: how runners balance creativity, goals, and recovery without losing joy.

We close with a sweeping Princess roll call and a coast-to-coast race report: Vegas lights and PRs, a gritty urban ultra in Ocala navigating painted horse statues, and the beloved Gasparilla challenges with donuts, sprinklers, and rainy-day grit. Whether you’re chasing a first 5K or stacking a multi-race weekend, you’ll find tips, laughs, and a reminder of why we show up for one another—especially now.

That’s the energy running through this episode as we move from Princess Weekend prep into one of the most inspiring stories we’ve ever hosted. We kick things off with training touchpoints, expo strategy, and course notes for the Run Disney Princess 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon—plus our meetup details, virtual queue tips, and the can’t-miss Main Street moment for first-timers. If you’re mapping out corrals, merch runs, or yoga logistics, we’ve got your plan.

Then we sit down with Amanda Ferrin—The Walking Miracle—whose life with a rare autoimmune disease didn’t end her story; it sharpened it. Amanda shares how a spontaneous 7K in Denver led to a last-minute Disneyland 10K, a Dopey bib through charity, and a season of marathons from London to New York. She explains scleroderma’s impact with honesty and warmth, talks about living with constant pain, and how moving—often dancing—through miles brings relief, dopamine, and community. Her signature sequin jacket isn’t a costume; it’s a choice to celebrate every day she gets.

This conversation holds more than race talk. When Amanda needed specialized surgery and IV antibiotic therapy, the runDisney community rallied overnight to fund it—turning hope into action and a bill into a lifeline. We hear what recovery looks like now, the races she’s eyeing next (Rome, Paris, London, and the New York City Half), and why joy, presence, and kindness matter more than pace. Along the way, we share a polished Princess Weekend guide—expo hours, Brooks drops, transport windows, photo tips—and a lively Race Report packed with PRs, scenic routes, runway 5Ks, and hot chocolate finishes.

Subscribe for weekly stories, race guides, and real talk from a community that runs on heart. If this episode moved you, share it with a friend and leave a review—what moment will you carry into your next run?

We start with a candid weather check and slide straight into the nuts and bolts of racing life—updated Wine & Dine registration flows, random queue placement, why sellout times barely budged, and how our community rallied with Zoom rooms, phone trees, and charity backups  We map out Princess Weekend long runs, Springtime Surprise magic miles, and the kind of speed work that shakes off a post-Dopey lull and brings your spring fitness back online.

Then everything sharpens into one story. Heather, a push-rim athlete many of you know, takes us inside the Donna 110—eight laps Saturday and a marathon Sunday—finished in historic Florida cold with frozen hydration lines and sheets of ice. She shares how triple-stack long runs, bike guides, a coach pacing a late lap, and a brand-new custom chair made the difference. The result: the first wheelchair finisher in race history, the only woman finisher this year, and a heady mix of grit, humor, and joy that included communion at mile one and counting dogs to stay present. Her perspective on adaptive sport is powerful and refreshingly inclusive: we’re all out here doing hard things, visible or not, and the win is showing up with purpose.

We round things out with Loopy Looper team interest surging, Tom’s strength challenge for accountability and smarter training, and Fluffy Fizzies returning to the Expo with upgraded foot care, themed bath bombs, and easy preorder pickup. The race report delivers a streak of firsts and PRs—from stadium sprints to donut runs and frigid New England grit—that remind us how many ways there are to measure progress.

We open with Miss Piggy’s cameo on the castle screen and roll straight into the expo’s virtual queue scramble, a quick detour through misplaced bib drama, and a check-in with Jeff and Barbara Galloway that left us optimistic and grateful. Between merch scarcity, the Dumbo hoodie frenzy, and smarter PhotoPass ops, the weekend balanced magic with mechanics in classic runDisney fashion.

The 5K reminded us why the west coast course is beloved: quiet fireworks, a park-start and park-finish, and sunrise over Pixar Pier. A surprise “balloon lady” sighting and a late-course cut around Avengers Campus created some confusion, but the joy still landed. The 10K leaned into imagination—Sorcerer Mickey everywhere, Figment looping in our heads, and backstage Easter eggs like the Tower of Terror sign and A Bug’s Life props. Photo lines moved faster, and runners helped each other grab those castle shots when photographers cleared out near the back.

The half marathon tied it all together. Early laps through DCA, then a thoughtful route across Anaheim with out-and-backs that turned the race into a reunion. The 501st brought free hugs and big energy; third-shift custodial cast cheered like pros. We talk pacing with run-walk-run, efficient PhotoPass at small world and Millennium Falcon, and the thrill of a fast finish that also marked a 100th RunDisney medal. The DCA picnic-area meetup overflowed—cookies, bracelets, and the best conversations of the weekend—proof that this community keeps the magic alive long after the medals are hung.

We close with the question on everyone’s mind: will runDisney return to Disneyland? Some of us think yes, but not soon; others felt a real goodbye in Carissa’s voice. Either way, the stories, tips, and friendships from this weekend are here to keep you moving. If you had a favorite moment from the races—or a prediction about what’s next—drop us a note, subscribe, and share this with a friend who needs a little start line magic.

We sit down with Walt Disney World Marathon champion Matt Hensley to trace the path from family running roots and college grind to a smart, tactical win built on adaptation, fueling, and a decisive late-race move. Matt walks us through race-week realities—working the expo, long park days, heavy legs—and explains how dew point data and small early adjustments can save a marathon when heat sneaks in. He opens his playbook on fueling (60–90g carbs per hour), mid-race decision-making, and the difference between racing for time and racing for place, including the surge that sealed the pass near mile 20.

The conversation widens to purpose, mindset, and coaching. As the founder of Boulder Underground, Matt shares how he coaches beginners to elites by aligning big goals with daily habits, calling on a trusted network of PTs, dietitians, and mental performance experts. We dig into his three-part framework for 26.2—body, mind, and spirit—so listeners leave with practical steps: test nutrition in training, find early flow instead of forcing splits, and anchor to a meaningful why when the tough miles arrive. Along the way, you’ll hear a hilarious nearly-Guinness-record family saga, Disney course highlights, and the energizing role of characters, music, and community on race day.

We also spotlight our Disneyland meetup details, roll call an enormous list of racers, and celebrate listener PRs from 5K to marathon. Whether you’re chasing a Boston qualifier, your first half, or a steadier long run, you’ll find tools and motivation to sharpen your next start line. If this conversation helps your training, share it with a friend, follow our show, and leave a quick review—what’s the one strategy you’ll try on your next long run?

We sit down with marathon winner and runDisney favorite Brittany Charbonneau for a candid, no-filter look at a race that felt hard from the gun, a costume with a story, and the moment she stepped off the fence to encourage the final finisher home. From sleepless nights with a teething baby to Florida humidity after Denver air, Brittany opens up about panic in the early miles, how she reset her mindset, and why a mid-race character stop with Joy was the medicine she needed to run happy again.

We also unpack the new Wine and Dine themes and what expanded 5K start windows could mean for buses, corrals, character lines, and that beloved pre-race hangout vibe. Expect thoughtful speculation, not hot takes—our focus stays on access, flow, and how to make race day feel welcoming for more runners. Then we get practical about blisters: toe socks vs. tape, lube strategies, nail care, and the honest truth that even perfect prep can still lead to hot spots across four days of running.

Brittany brings coach-level wisdom you can use this week. Practice in-run pivots to break negative loops. Accept that progress looks like a mountain range, not a ladder. Take real time off after big goals so motivation can return on its own. And most of all, remember that every story matters—front, middle, or back of the pack. Her finish-line moment with the last runner says everything about the culture we want: inclusive, kind, and loud with encouragement.

We round things out with Disneyland Half Marathon meetup details, Loopy Looper relay plans, and a race report full of coastal sun, frosty miles, and nostalgic roads. Hit play for logistics you can trust, coaching tips you can apply, and community energy that lasts beyond your cooldown. If this conversation moved you, follow, share with a running friend, and leave a quick review—your support helps more runners find their people.

We dig into the real Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend: the Dopey merch experiment that strained patience, a 5K power outage that couldn’t dim the vibe, and shoes, shirts, and sizing choices that had everyone talking. Then we lace up for the races—Epcot-forward 10K joy, half marathon strategy you can actually use, and marathon Sunday’s heat that forced smart decisions and small, lifesaving hacks.

You’ll hear what it’s like to push an adaptive athlete down Main Street USA and orchestrate safe space for fist bumps, and how a community rallied to bring Myra back to the start line—twice. We trade the best on-course tactics for hot weather: drink one cup, pour one cup, stash a wet sponge, eat the banana, and when needed, reset your brain with a ride on Expedition Everest or a vending-machine Coke. We unpack the Blizzard Beach cut, how it reshaped pacing, and why embracing joy can be the difference between finishing and fading. And yes, we celebrate Brittany Charbonneau—dominant on the course, generous at the finish.

Beyond the miles, the Disney Springs meetup proves why this community keeps growing: hundreds of friends, homemade cookies, raffle surprises, and quiet moments of encouragement before the last big push. Medal Monday reflections bring practical park tips and a few cautionary notes about embroidery lines. Whether you ran 3.1 or 48.6, you’ll find yourself in these stories—costumes, castle photos, new marriages, and first-time Dopey's crossing the line with tears and laughter.

Press play for a full recap, hard-earned lessons, and the kind of heart that makes runDisney weekends unforgettable. If this episode lifted you, share it with a friend, subscribe, and leave a review to help more runners find our crew.

Whats My Story? Start lines can carry more than nerves—they can carry whole lives. We kick off Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend with equal parts heart and how-to, celebrating Jack's wedding, sharing practical travel and cheering plans, and diving into two stories that remind us why miles matter.

Wendy opens her journey with honesty about grief’s physical weight after losing her husband; a man who once signed up for a 5K just to support her Dopey dream. She talks about the moment a Thursday Zoom call pulled her back to community, how coaching helped her rebuild a routine from dog walks to long runs, and why she’ll run in hot pinks and hearts to keep love visible on the course. Her insight is clear and kind: grief doesn’t follow rules, so neither should your healing.

We then turn the volume up on community with our annual Rise and Run roll call—Dopey, Goofy, marathon, half, 10K, and 5K—giving first timers and veterans their well-earned spotlight. 

Jon’s story brings purpose into sharp focus. A single dad chasing his first marathon to model dedication for his kids, he speaks candidly about battling old habits, choosing to prioritize time rather than “find” it, and refusing to let imperfect weeks derail the goal. His mantra is simple: hard work works. He’s aiming to finish strong, not chase a hero split, and to show his kids that promises kept to yourself change who you become.

Whether you run to heal, to grow, or to prove you can, there’s room for your reason here. Tap play, feel seen, get the logistics you need, and take your next step toward the start line with us. If this episode lifts you, share it with a friend, hit follow, and leave a review so more runners can find their story in our community.

We kick off the new year one week from Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, and Jeff brings the practical wisdom runners need: how to decide when it’s safe to return from injury, why walking long sessions preserves endurance, and how run-walk-run keeps you moving without adding stress.

We get specific about race-week decisions that make or break your day—starting slower than you think you should, choosing a conservative pace group for built-in support, and fueling in simple, steady doses to avoid GI surprises. Jeff shares a clear rule of thumb: two to four ounces of water and 30 to 40 calories of sugar every two miles, with a smart pre-start snack inside 30 minutes to prevent an energy dip. We also talk character stops, run-by selfies, and the moment to pull back if swelling, pain, or loss of function shows up midrace.

Beyond the logistics, we celebrate what makes Run Disney different: kindness, camaraderie, and the friendships forged at 3 a.m. in a parking lot and on quiet miles after Hollywood Studios. Jeff reframes success to include six-minute miles and sixteen-minute miles, reminding us that progress is personal and community-powered. He previews 2026 plans—from Greece with Dean Karnazes to a Munich race weekend—and shares how mantras and community help quiet the monkey brain during recovery.

If you’re tapering, coming back from a setback, or toeing your first Marathon Weekend start line, this conversation is your calm, clear plan. Listen, share with a friend training for Disney, and tell us: what pace group are you choosing and why? Subscribe, leave a review, and join the Rise and Run family as we cheer you to the finish.

We open with holiday cheer, community thanks, and a few playful ideas—from telethons to extra-big meetup cookies—before diving into a rewind that still gives us goosebumps: the Walt Disney World Marathon story of first-time marathoner and champion, Stephanie Muscat.

Stephanie’s path started in the pool. Years of swimming turned into tentative laps on an indoor track, then into local 5Ks and half marathons that built confidence. She explains why runDisney hooked her—the DJs at 3 a.m., the pre-start electricity, and the promise of sprinting past Spaceship Earth—and why Disney was the perfect stage for a marathon debut. On race day she kept the goal simple: a smart run around three hours. The early lead surprised her, Main Street USA brought tears, and a bike lead quietly guided the way. At mile 19, rain poured at Blizzard Beach, second place loomed a few minutes behind, and Stephanie turned the weather into fuel. By the time she entered EPCOT, the possibility became a pulse, then a certainty: tape up, arms high, a finish line she won’t forget.

We also share practical updates for runners prepping for Marathon Weekend, Princess, and Springtime Surprise—training checkpoints, ADR reminders, and big news from runDisney: Dopey Challenge merchandise access limited to registered Dopey runners on day one, with verification and item limits. Our Disney Springs meetup is set, free, and cookie-powered, with a flag raffle and a group photo at 3:30 p.m. The race report packs in festive wins from across the country: PRs and age-group podiums, costumes and community, and a subzero grind that ended in hot chocolate.

Whether you’re chasing a BQ, jumping into your first 5K, or just here for the Main Street chills, you’ll leave fired up with clear tips, real talk, and a reminder that if you make it to the start, you’re already winning. If this story moved you, follow the show, share it with a runner friend, and leave a quick review—what’s your next starting line?

We dig into the big simulation week and why it’s more about patience than pace, then talk taper calm and how to internalize race pace without burning yourself out. From there, we zoom into the choices that matter: smart carb loading at Disney (yes, fries can be part of a plan), when a hydration vest helps, and how to keep your hands, feet, and head warm with simple gear that won’t slow you down.

We map spectator routes that work for early birds and back-of-packers—TTC for easy mid-race cheers and a monorail return to EPCOT for the finish—plus a cheer squad meetup near Coronado Springs around Mile 20–21 for that late-race lift. Sleep still tricky? We share practical routines, layered alarms, and low-stress morning timelines that get you to security, a character photo, and your corral without rushing. We also break down shoe rotation for challenges and the one rule we never break: nothing new on race day.

Course talk stays honest: which Magic Kingdom approach feels better, why Cone Alley relief matters, and how to segment the marathon into bite-size goals that carry you through the hard miles. If the wall shows up, tuck into a Galloway pace group or lean on the runners beside you; conversation, music, and simple countdowns can turn a tough patch into forward motion. 

We wrap with a race report full of cold PRs, muddy finishes, and a spotlight on Rocket City’s hat trick challenge, proving again how community turns big goals into finish-line moments. If this is your first 5K or your seventh start at 26.2, there’s a plan here to make race day feel doable.

We bring together Dopey veterans and a first‑timer to unpack the real playbook for Marathon Weekend: how to shop the expo without losing your day, when to join the virtual queue, and which transport options get you to EPCOT stress‑free. From the 5K’s calm walk to the marathon’s 4:30 a.m. start, we map water stops, fuel options, spectating windows, and the course quirks shaped by current construction.

The strategy talk gets honest. Walk the 5K to bank energy. Use shorter run intervals on Saturday if you’re in later corrals. Save character photos for later in the race when lines shrink. Bring two or three pairs of shoes, recovery sandals, and a spare pair of socks for a mid‑marathon reset. Pack Epsom salt, roll your feet, and stash sunscreen and anti‑chafe plans. We compare caffeinated gum to coffee, warn against accidental over‑caffeination, and share the flat‑lay routine that turns chaos into calm. Above all, we keep mindset at the center: pick joy at the bleachers, pace your day, and let Main Street carry you without sprinting the tracks.

You’ll also hear a lively race report from the inaugural San Antonio Marathon—beautiful course, big hills, warm temps, and standout community support—plus quick hits from races nationwide. Whether you’re chasing Dopey, Goofy, or a single distance, this episode gives you the concise, experience‑tested guide to stay ahead of the balloon ladies and finish with a smile. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a running friend, and leave a quick review so more runners can find the Rise and Run family.

]]> The alarm hits at 2 a.m., the corrals open in the dark, and somehow the magic feels brighter than ever. We bring together Dopey veterans and a first‑timer to unpack the real playbook for Marathon Weekend: how to shop the expo without losing your day, when to join the virtual queue, and which transport options get you to EPCOT stress‑free. From the 5K’s calm walk to the marathon’s 4:30 a.m. start, we map water stops, fuel options, spectating windows, and the course quirks shaped by current construction.

The strategy talk gets honest. Walk the 5K to bank energy. Use shorter run intervals on Saturday if you’re in later corrals. Save character photos for later in the race when lines shrink. Bring two or three pairs of shoes, recovery sandals, and a spare pair of socks for a mid‑marathon reset. Pack Epsom salt, roll your feet, and stash sunscreen and anti‑chafe plans.

Often seen as a disadvantage, the DLS is actually a unique community filled with resilience, camaraderie, and surprising benefits.

We’ll break down what the Dead Last Start really is, clear up common misconceptions, and hear firsthand stories from runners who’ve embraced starting at the very back. From the balloon ladies to the pacing challenges, from the data and graphs shared in Facebook groups to the laughter and costumes that make DLS special, this conversation uncovers the magic behind the miles.

Whether you’re a front‑of‑the‑pack runner or someone who’s ever worried about being placed in DLS, this episode proves that every start line has a story and every finish line is worth celebrating.

From Crunchwraps to Chalupas,  we hear from Divya who ran the Taco bell 50tk where runners cover 31 miles, stopping at nine Taco Bell locations to eat a menu item at each. With an 11-hour limit,

A Thanksgiving table full of training plans, inside jokes, and hard-won wisdom. And a milestone we never imagined hitting: 500,000 downloads. This one brings the energy, the honesty, and the practical tools you need heading into Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend and the Dopey simulation.

We walk through the training calendar and get tactical about the big Dopey sim: why long-run pace matters, how to use Galloway-style intervals without overreaching, and a smart twist called “Gwinning” to speed up walk days without burning out. You’ll hear recovery must-dos, fueling tests to try now, and flexible options for tough conditions—like splitting long runs with short breaks or moving indoors with race videos for motivation. We also talk watches, data, and mindset: hiding lap alerts, switching to time-of-day screens, and how one host found a surprise 5K PR by ignoring the numbers.

The heart of the episode is gratitude and resilience. We share setbacks—from surgery and caregiving to a beloved dog’s vestibular scare—and the choice to keep showing up. That spirit echoes through our Race Report Spotlight: a cramp-riddled marathon that still lands an age-group win, and a slow, courageous finish with a police escort blasting Eye of the Tiger. It’s funny, it’s real, and it’s exactly the reminder you need that progress isn’t linear—but it’s worth it.

We round it out with Space Coast meetup info, cruise running routes, island 5K notes, and a stack of listener race highlights from Norfolk to Silverstone. Whether you’re chasing a PR, a proof of time, or just a joyful finish, you’ll find clear steps and a community that has your back.

If this helped your training or lifted your spirits, tap follow, share it with a running friend, and leave a quick review. Tell us your Marathon Weekend “why” and join the conversation.

We pit Team Rise and Run against Team Will Run For in a custom Family Feud built from real Run Disney life: favorite expo merch, the best post‑race resort pools, the cleanest, quietest in‑park bathrooms for that urgent corral P‑stop, and the most energizing on‑course entertainment that isn’t a character. Along the way, you’ll hear how tiny choices—like a mug over a pin, a quiet pool over a volcano slide, or Norway over the TTC—add up to a calmer, faster, happier race day.

We also shine a light on community. Michael shares details for the Virtually Live 5K supporting Unite For Her and the scholarship created in Erin’s honor at Rowan/Cooper for medical students focused on oncology. After a nail‑biting Fast Money, we cap the show with a surprise donation to Erin’s fund—a reminder that this sport is bigger than split times and park playlists.

Beyond the feud, we dig into practical takeaways you can use immediately: which expo vendors are worth the stop (Sparkle Athletic, Fit2Run, and more), how to plan bathroom strategy on Walt Disney World race courses, and which non‑character entertainment—gospel choirs, marching bands, live actors—can carry you through late miles. We round it out with training updates, medal reactions, and a packed race report loaded with PRs, tips, and laughs.

Press play for a smart, lively tour through Run Disney culture that balances fun and function. If you enjoy the episode, subscribe, share it with a running friend, and leave a quick review. What’s your top on‑course bathroom or favorite expo buy? Tell us—we might just feature it next time.

We talk through the head game of marathon training: patience over pace on long runs, how to break the distance into chunks that calm your mind, and why comparing speeds on social media can derail your best week. You’ll leave with simple mental cues, smarter pacing targets, and a healthier way to handle missed miles without nuking your confidence.

Then we fly to Hong Kong Disneyland for a runner’s guide you can actually use. Registration quirks, pricing, and why it’s cheaper than you think. Corrals with no proof of time, last‑minute gate openings, and back‑to‑back race tactics when a 5K and 3K are minutes apart. Expect fewer characters, more selfies, and shirts that genuinely outshine many U.S. race tops. The routes weave outside the park and along the waterfront before Main Street and the Castle of Magical Dreams. 

Community stories bring the heart. The Rocky Run in Philly brought heat, crowds, and Mount Drago—a hill that humbled big goals and reminded us how to pivot mid‑race and still finish strong. Across the map, listeners logged PRs, first halves, charity 5Ks, and holiday light runs. We also spotlight a small business comeback from Fluffy Fizzies, with recovery goodies, expo preorders, and a reminder that resilience is built the same way as endurance: steady, honest, and supported.

Hit play if you need a reset on training mindset, you’re curious about international Disney races, or you just want a boost from runners who get it. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a training buddy, and drop a review so more runners can find us.

We go from small talk to big miles fast—unpacking 2026 Coast to Coast qualification, why Wine and Dine is sticking to October, and how that choice ripples into Marine Corps and New York City plans. If you’re eyeing runDisney weekends or plotting a world major, the booking and timing intel here will save you stress and money.

We dive into medal craft and course design, celebrating Disneyland’s cohesive 70th set and a Coast to Coast slider that moves without breaking. Then the conversation gets honest about training: long-run fatigue, proof-of-time attempts, and the mindset of A-through-D goals that still end in a PR. Safety takes center stage with clear, calm advice on being vigilant, from alarms and tracking to GoGuarded, especially with darker evenings.

Emily from Hollarhype returns with more than hype and a few friendly randos—it’s connection that lands when the hill shows up. Real-time voice encouragement now includes Tags that broadcast who you are and what you’re chasing—Dopey training, first marathon, getting back to it—plus new Communities for early birds, night owls, cancer survivors, and recovery. You choose where your signal goes every time, and it’s free to join with code “Rise and Run.”

The heart of the episode belongs to New York City. Hear ferry-to-bridge logistics, the quiet drum of footsteps on Queensboro, First Avenue’s endless stretch, and a finish pulled through by crowds that never quit. A sub-4 PR, an ankle that held together on will and Advil, a fall saved by a handheld, and a medal that reveals the course profile when you tilt it on its side. We close with final-finish fireworks after midnight and a race report tour across the country, packed with PRs, proof-of-time builders, and community wins.

Hit play, plan smarter, and feel less alone on the hard miles. Subscribe, share with a running friend, and leave a review to help more runners find the show.

That’s the arc of this Wine and Dine weekend—equal parts magic, logistics, and heart. We walk you through the expo’s new rhythms , a refreshed core runDisney merch line with some questionable shirt cuts, and the small tweaks that make or break a big weekend when sleep is scarce and plans are tight.

From Moana-and-Maui family fun to smart walk-run comebacks, the 5K and 10K reminded us why these miles feel so welcoming. We share how the 10K’s streamlined finisher photos and steady water stops kept the vibe smooth, even without electrolytes on course. Then we get candid about the half: the narrow out-and-back to Blizzard Beach that packed two-way traffic on one side, frayed tempers, and raised safety concerns. We talk heat, hydration gaps inside the parks, and where an extra aid station near Tower of Terror could change the day. Along the way, we spotlight wins that matter—stomach issues managed with grit, an age-80 finish powered by training and belief, and PRs earned in sticky weather.

What tied it all together? Community. Our Disney Springs meetup turned buttons and cookies into new friendships, and Myra’s legendary bus energy somehow wrangled a flawless group photo. Out on the course, familiar cheers, shared pacing, and quick humor turned long miles into memorable ones. If you care about runDisney tips, course strategy, expo intel, and how to build a better race weekend, you’ll find plenty here to steal for your next start line.

If this recap helped, follow the show on your favorite app, share it with a runDisney friend, and drop us a quick rating or review. Then tell us: keep this half course, or time for a rethink?

We kick off the 2025 Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend with a clear plan to turn nerves into connection, mapping exactly where to find us before each start, how to spark easy chats in the corrals, and why your first bus and first hello can change the whole vibe. If you’re arriving solo, you don’t have to stay that way; we’ll make the introductions and help you find your people.

We walk through the training checkpoints for marathon, Goofy, Dopey, and Disneyland half, then pivot to the decisions that protect your legs: expo routes, virtual queue timing, park-mile creep, and the smart way to balance merch hunts with rest. You’ll get race-day tips that actually help—carry a lightweight finish bag, rotate shoes across races, pack a hat and sunglasses, keep a poncho handy, and be ready to simplify costumes if the humidity climbs. We also flag the perks of the earliest buses: shorter character-photo lines, calmer corrals, and extra minutes to breathe before the fireworks.

Midway, we spotlight a new "Podcast We Listen To" with AJ and Erika from the One More Run podcast—former Disneyland cast members sharing beginner-friendly guidance on proof of time, corrals, fueling, and costumes with pro-level production and zero gatekeeping. Their mission mirrors ours: make runDisney feel welcoming, informative, and fun for new runners and veterans alike.

We wrap with a massive roll call, celebratory shout-outs, and details for meeting up beside the grandstands, plus a nod to the Give Kids The World Gingerbread Run under the lights. Lace up, say hi, and let the miles take care of themselves. If this episode helps, tap follow, share it with a friend heading to Wine & Dine, and leave a quick review—what’s the one tip you’ll use this weekend?

We swap last‑week training moves, practical travel advice for 2026 bookings, and a surprisingly useful shoe debate: are Brooks’ Stitch-themed Glycerines a smarter buy than limited race-weekend drops? Then we bring in a conversation that will change how you see your run, your city, and your next trip to Disney.

Author and advocate Doug Gordon (Life After Cars) joins us to explore a world with fewer cars and more options—walking, cycling, transit, and micro‑mobility that actually fit everyday life. Doug uses Disney’s transportation web—monorail, Skyliner, ferries, buses—as a live model for moving huge crowds smoothly without private cars. We talk runner safety and the power of systemic fixes: lower speeds, protected lanes, better crossings, and design that invites lingering, not just passing through. He connects Epcot’s original vision to what we crave today: places that feel good to move in.

We also spotlight the Chicago Marathon with a stacked roundtable. Hear an expo that hums, a 5K with countries on bibs, and race-day stories that span sub‑three breakthroughs, 60‑minute PRs, back‑of‑the‑pack grit as the course comes down, and a tribute run that turned grief into a 15‑minute PR. Charity teams like American Cancer Society, Ronald McDonald House, and Achilles International show how big-city chaos becomes community. The crowds? Electric from start to finish.

We wrap with meetup details (find us by the bleachers), the short‑fuse Disney gift card reminder, and a race report that tours PRs, spooky sprints, endurance milestones, and firsts worth framing. If you love runDisney, safer streets, and finish-line feelings that last, this one’s for you. Subscribe, share with a friend, and tell us: what small change would make running safer where you live?

Coach Chris Twiggs joins us to lay out a clear, no-nonsense roadmap for the final weeks before race day—why tapering wins races, how to dial in run-walk ratios, and what actually matters for multi-day challenges like Wine & Dine and Dopey. We dig into the simple details that make a huge difference: 30-second walk breaks to avoid late-race fade, practicing your race-day shoes and costume, and treating those early miles as your warm-up after long corral waits.

We also tackle the big Disney decisions. Want character photos without wrecking your pace? Train a little faster than necessary and learn to move with awareness—no headphones, head on a swivel, respect wheelchair athletes, and rejoin cleanly after stops. For first-timers, we reset expectations: Disney races are celebrations, not trials. Your proof of fitness is the start line; the race is your victory lap. Add in Chris’ best advice for pre-race nerves (talk to your neighbors, get out of your head), plus the rookie mistakes to skip (new shoes, new fuel, all-day park marathons the day before).

Then we break down Wine & Dine essentials: expo virtual queue strategy, Brooks collab shoes, 5K/10K/half course updates with better flow and more park time, spectator notes, no time change this year (expect darker miles), and how to make the most of the post-race party—including ticket tips and a gift card reminder. Along the way, we celebrate the community power behind Galloway’s coaching and our Tuesday Zooms, where training plans meet real support.

If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend training for Run Disney, and leave a quick review. Got a question or race report? Call 727-266-2344—we’d love to feature you.

We dig into her book Disney Adults asking why the label sparks so much heat online, and how subcultures like DisneyBounding, Dapper Days, and RunDisney become places people actually live. AJ doesn’t sugarcoat it: the same fans who keep the parks humming can be a pain for the company—and each other—yet they’re also the first to show up with support, charity dollars, and creative traditions that make the magic feel personal.

We keep it real on training, too. Greg crushes his magic half mile and stares down faster paces; Alysha returns stronger after injury thanks to strength and consistency; and Bob talks honestly about listening to your body, walking long runs, and knowing the difference between “owie” and injury. 

Our Wine & Dine merch take is practical—smart layers beat closet clutter—and AJ drops festival strategy: weekday mornings, skip the worst lines, and aim for raclette, poutine, and solid plant-based picks. We also spotlight the Parkinson’s Foundation: how to grab charity bibs, the perks you get, and fundraising tactics that actually work (start early, share your why, leverage matching gifts, and thank like you mean it).

The race report brings the color: a hot Berlin Marathon with slick water stops, booming spectators, and even an inline marathon flying past; humid Florida miles with thin hydration but top-tier vibes; stadium hills, muddy dog runs, and a squawking chicken medal you need to see to believe. Episode 210 is a full plate of running, Disney culture, and community wins—proof that better training, better races, and better trips all start with better questions.

If this episode made you think, laugh, or plan your next finish line, tap follow, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review. What did we get right about Disney adults—and what did we miss?

In this lively episode, we welcome back the Rise and Run Council of Costumes – a panel of expert race-day costumers who've turned heads and sparked joy with their elaborate designs.

What makes a successful race costume? Our council reveals the delicate balance between showstopping aesthetics and practical functionality. From Tinker Bob to massive VHS tapes, from inflatable dinosaurs to illuminated barges, they share the triumphs and occasional disasters of their most memorable creations. You'll learn their three-rule system for effective costumes: they must be runnable, photogenic, and instantly recognizable in the fleeting moments runners pass by spectators.

Whether you're contemplating your first character-inspired outfit or seeking to elevate your existing costume game, our experts offer practical advice on sourcing materials, planning timelines, and avoiding dreaded "panic crafting." They discuss how to repurpose costumes across different races, where to find quality components without breaking the bank, and when it's worth investing in custom-made pieces.

Beyond the technical aspects, our panel reveals something deeper about the runDisney costuming experience – the genuine connections formed when someone recognizes your obscure character reference, the family bonds strengthened through shared creative projects, and the pure joy of bringing a smile to fellow runners' faces during those challenging middle miles.

As Wine and Dine approaches just four weeks away, let this episode inspire your own costume journey. Remember the wisdom shared by one council member that resonated throughout our conversation: participating in these events, in whatever outfit you choose, is ultimately "a gift" to be cherished.

"It's like running through a postcard," our friend, Ryan, commented.  From camel selfies to cornfield runs, our special guests Ellie, Carrie, Tracy, and Kim capture the pastoral magic that makes this event unlike any other running experience. You'll feel like you're right alongside them as they describe the horse-drawn buggy pacers, the challenge of the rolling hills, and the remarkable community spirit that draws runners from across the country. And the legendary post-race chicken dinner? Our guests can't stop raving about it—a culinary highlight that rivals the scenic course itself.

Before our main feature, we introduce an exciting new collaboration with Hannah from The Start Line Co, who's created a collection of running-themed temporary tattoos specifically for the Rise and Run community. These sweat-resistant designs—including "fueled by plastic cheese" and the Rise and Run logo—add a fun dimension to race day preparation.

We also check in on training schedules as Wine and Dine Weekend approaches in just five weeks, with Marathon Weekend following 16 weeks later. The hosts acknowledge this challenging middle point of training where motivation wanes but dedication becomes crucial. As Alysha beautifully expresses in her moving piece "I Am a Runner," this sport connects us through shared experiences and determination despite the challenges.

This episode delivers equal parts practical insights and heartwarming community connection. Come for the race tips, stay for the stories of friendship formed through miles shared together.

We begin with a comprehensive look at the triumphant return of Disneyland racing through the Halloween-themed race weekend that kicked off the 2025-2026 runDisney season. Our panel of runners shares firsthand experiences navigating the Disneyland expo, enjoying extensive park time during both the 10K and half marathon, and discovering how the California races differ from their Florida counterparts in delightful ways.

The adventure continues halfway around the world as we visit with Carrie, who conquered the Sydney Marathon—recently designated as the seventh World Major. Despite challenging hills that surprised this Florida runner, she achieved a personal record while taking in breathtaking views, including the iconic Sydney Opera House. We learn about the unique medal design and how the Abbott World Marathon Majors program is evolving as it expands beyond the original six races.

Our international tour concludes in Newcastle, England, where the Great North Run—the world's largest half marathon with an astonishing 60,000 participants—captivated both runners and the 200,000 spectators lining the course. Andy shares how this nationally televised event has become a cultural touchstone in Northern England, complete with helicopter coverage and a deeply personal connection as he continues trying to beat his father's time from decades ago.

Between these major events, we explore dozens of race reports from community members conquering everything from trail challenges to local 5Ks, demonstrating that whether you're stomping grapes like Alysha or pushing through marathon training, the running journey connects us all. With Wine and Dine just six weeks away and marathon weekend training intensifying, there's never been a better time to find your place in this worldwide community of runners.

We begin with a comprehensive look at the triumphant return of Disneyland racing through the Halloween-themed race weekend that kicked off the 2025-2026 runDisney season. Our panel of runners shares firsthand experiences navigating the Disneyland expo, enjoying extensive park time during both the 10K and half marathon, and discovering how the California races differ from their Florida counterparts in delightful ways.

The adventure continues halfway around the world as we visit with Carrie, who conquered the Sydney Marathon—recently designated as the seventh World Major. Despite challenging hills that surprised this Florida runner, she achieved a personal record while taking in breathtaking views, including the iconic Sydney Opera House. We learn about the unique medal design and how the Abbott World Marathon Majors program is evolving as it expands beyond the original six races.

Our international tour concludes in Newcastle, England, where the Great North Run—the world's largest half marathon with an astonishing 60,000 participants—captivated both runners and the 200,000 spectators lining the course. Andy shares how this nationally televised event has become a cultural touchstone in Northern England, complete with helicopter coverage and a deeply personal connection as he continues trying to beat his father's time from decades ago.

Between these major events, we explore dozens of race reports from community members conquering everything from trail challenges to local 5Ks, demonstrating that whether you're stomping grapes like Alysha or pushing through marathon training, the running journey connects us all. With Wine and Dine just six weeks away and marathon weekend training intensifying, there's never been a better time to find your place in this worldwide community of runners.

His story resonates whether you're a seasoned runner or someone contemplating your first long-distance event.

Miles, Medals, and Motivation What does it take to rise from refugee to Olympic medalist? Marathon legend Meb Keflezighi reveals his extraordinary journey from war-torn Eritrea to becoming the only American to win Boston, New York, and an Olympic medal in the marathon.

Meb's story begins with a father who walked 225 miles to escape persecution, a family separated for five years, and a young boy who discovered his talent by simply trying to earn an A in PE class. From his surprising 5:20 mile as a seventh-grader to his dramatic silver medal in Athens and unforgettable 2014 Boston Marathon victory, Meb shares the mental strategies, training philosophies, and life perspectives that fueled his historic career.

What makes this conversation special is how Meb connects with runners of all abilities. Despite his elite status, he understands the universal challenges we face – bad training days, race disappointments, and the mental battles we fight. When he talks about walking during marathons or falling at the Olympic finish line, we're reminded that greatness isn't about perfection but perseverance.

For those preparing for upcoming Disney races, Meb offers practical training advice: space out your runs, keep long runs significantly slower than race pace, and prioritize recovery. His emphasis on balancing quality over quantity provides a refreshing perspective for runners at any level.

The podcast also features a spotlight on Megan, who transformed from a back-of-pack runner to discovering new speed at the Panerathon 10K, plus race reports from across the country showing how summer training is leading to fall PRs. With Disney Halloween weekend just days away, this episode delivers the perfect blend of inspiration and practical wisdom to fuel your running journey.

Join us for this unforgettable conversation with a true running legend who reminds us that "running to win doesn't mean getting first place, but getting the best out of yourself."

In this heartfelt episode, we pull back the curtain on race volunteering with insights from experienced volunteers who've supported events from local 5Ks to the Boston Marathon.

Our volunteer panel—Ilyana, Steve, Kay, and Mike—share what motivates them to give their time, the behind-the-scenes work few runners see, and the special connections formed with participants during races. From setting up thousands of water cups hours before runners arrive to finding creative ways to encourage struggling participants, these stories will transform how you see the smiling faces along your race route.

"I want any runner that interacts with me to know that I'm there to help them in any way I can," explains Steve, capturing the generous spirit that defines the volunteer experience. Kay reminds us that volunteers are often the first to arrive and last to leave, asking nothing in return but the joy of supporting others' achievements.

We're also joined by Mark Lane-Holbert, who shares his profound experience guiding a blind runner at the Boston Marathon and discusses his upcoming handbook on running therapy. His work with Achilles International highlights another dimension of the running community's supportive nature.

The episode features a delightful conversation with five women who formed the "Joyful Runners" relay team for the Centennial 100K in Washington after meeting through our podcast community. Their story of strangers becoming teammates exemplifies how running creates meaningful connections.

Whether you're a seasoned racer or preparing for your first event, this episode will deepen your appreciation for the volunteers who make our running journeys possible. Next time you pass a water station or cross a finish line, remember to share a smile or word of thanks—it means more than you know.

In this deeply moving episode, we're joined by representatives from the National Marrow Donor Program who explain how their registry connects blood cancer patients with life-saving donors. Our guest Abby shares her powerful personal journey of receiving a stem cell transplant that cured her cancer, reminding us that sometimes the most profound acts of heroism come from anonymous strangers willing to donate.

The heart of this episode centers on the Loopy Looper relay ultramarathon in New Jersey, where three teams of Rise and Run and Will Run For community members gathered to honor their friend Erin. Their stories of perseverance, camaraderie, and celebration showcase what makes our running community so special. From sharing hoagies Lady-and-the-Tramp style to completing the final 3.75-mile loop together while some wore weighted vests, these runners demonstrate that the miles we share mean more than the ones we run alone.

We also dive into exciting runDisney news, including a thorough breakdown of the Disneyland Halloween race weekend event guide (just four weeks away!) and spirited discussion about the newly announced Muppets-themed 12Ks of Christmas virtual races. Greg's passionate reaction to the Muppets finally getting runDisney recognition – and his mild disappointment they didn't use the Muppet Christmas Carol – highlights the deep connection many of us feel to these beloved characters.

Whether you're training for an upcoming Disney race, considering ways to give back through running, or simply looking for inspiration from fellow runners, this episode reminds us that running creates connections that transcend the miles. Join our community where every step, every mile, and every finish line is celebrated together.

In this milestone episode, we pull back the curtain with Disney entertainer Jodi Chase, who reveals the method behind the "annoying" character she portrays alongside her race course partner Angie. "We're trying to be as annoying as possible so that you will not want to stop," Jody laughs, explaining how this strategy actually helps distract exhausted runners from their pain.

Beyond her hill-side encouragement, Jodi takes us through her fascinating 30-year Disney career spanning iconic experiences from Citizens of Hollywood to World Showcase storytelling. She shares how she met her husband (fellow runDisney announcer John Pelkey) at Universal's Horror Makeup Show, and details her unexpected journey into race announcing. The conversation reveals the remarkable stamina required to keep high energy for hours while motivating thousands of runners in all weather conditions. "When it's sideways rain, we've got to go in, no ifs, ands, or buts about it," she explains about typical protocol, "but we felt so bad... we were just yelling at people as they're running by, making hopefully people laugh in those little moments where they were just like 'this is the worst thing ever.'"

We also explore Jodi's passionate work founding A Better Life Pet Rescue, a foster-based organization she ran for two decades, saving countless animals from euthanasia. Meanwhile, the hosts share their Springtime Surprise registration experiences, summer training challenges in record heat, and welcome Jake and his 8-year-old son Teddy for a heartwarming Race Report Spotlight about their Fenway Park 5K benefiting veterans.

Whether you're curious about the people behind those encouraging voices on course, looking for motivation to push through summer training, or simply want to feel connected to the broader running community, this episode bridges the magic of Disney entertainment with the heart of the running experience.

Jeff takes us back to his humble beginnings as an overweight eighth-grader who could barely run half a mile before "hitting the wall." From those inauspicious starts, we follow his journey through collegiate running alongside peers like Bill Rodgers and Amby Burfoot, through military service, and ultimately to the 1972 Olympic Games. What's most revealing isn't just Jeff's athletic accomplishments, but the character behind them—like selflessly pacing his teammate to Olympic qualification while stepping back at the finish line himself.

The heart of our conversation explores how Jeff developed his famous Run-Walk-Run method in the early 1970s. What started as a practical solution for beginning runners blossomed into an approach that has helped countless people cross finish lines they never imagined possible. Jeff shares fascinating insights, including that the very first Olympic marathoners all "walked significant portions of the race," and how his method has evolved through data from over 500,000 runners.

We also discuss Jeff's special relationship with runDisney from its inception, his remarkable recovery from a heart attack, and his goal to run the Honolulu Marathon at age 80—potentially becoming the first person ever to run marathons across eight decades of life.

Throughout the episode, we take time to reflect on our own 200-episode journey, sharing memories, listener messages, and thoughts on how this podcast has grown from a simple idea into a global community. The Rise and Run family now spans 127 countries, with over 5,200 members sharing friendship, support, and a mutual love of running.

Join us for this special celebration of resilience, community, and the simple joy of putting one foot in front of the other—whether you're running, walking, or using Jeff's proven combination of both.

Jeff takes us back to his humble beginnings as an overweight eighth-grader who could barely run half a mile before "hitting the wall." From those inauspicious starts, we follow his journey through collegiate running alongside peers like Bill Rodgers and Amby Burfoot, through military service, and ultimately to the 1972 Olympic Games. What's most revealing isn't just Jeff's athletic accomplishments, but the character behind them—like selflessly pacing his teammate to Olympic qualification while stepping back at the finish line himself.

The heart of our conversation explores how Jeff developed his famous Run-Walk-Run method in the early 1970s. What started as a practical solution for beginning runners blossomed into an approach that has helped countless people cross finish lines they never imagined possible. Jeff shares fascinating insights, including that the very first Olympic marathoners all "walked significant portions of the race," and how his method has evolved through data from over 500,000 runners.

We also discuss Jeff's special relationship with runDisney from its inception, his remarkable recovery from a heart attack, and his goal to run the Honolulu Marathon at age 80—potentially becoming the first person ever to run marathons across eight decades of life.

Throughout the episode, we take time to reflect on our own 200-episode journey, sharing memories, listener messages, and thoughts on how this podcast has grown from a simple idea into a global community. The Rise and Run family now spans 127 countries, with over 5,200 members sharing friendship, support, and a mutual love of running.

Join us for this special celebration of resilience, community, and the simple joy of putting one foot in front of the other—whether you're running, walking, or using Jeff's proven combination of both.

Alan holds the incredible distinction of running every single Walt Disney World Marathon since its 1994 inception—a legacy he's maintained through strokes, surgeries, and countless challenges. "I never consider not finishing as an option," he explains, offering a masterclass in perseverance. Together, he and Grace chronicle the evolution of runDisney from its humble beginnings—when merchandise was sold at the airport instead of expos and costumes were nonexistent—to the celebration it's become today.

Perhaps most touching is the story behind their famous friendship bracelets. What began as therapy following Alan's stroke has blossomed into over 4,000 handcrafted tokens of community that have traveled to all seven continents. This beautiful gesture perfectly captures the spirit of the running community they've helped foster.

The episode wraps with our Race Report Spotlight featuring Michelle from Erie, Pennsylvania, who shares her North East Cherry Festival 5K experience and how seeing runners who looked like her at Disney inspired her to begin her own journey.

Molly and Kathleen pull back the curtain on what it really means to maintain the critical 16-minute pace that determines whether runners complete their Disney race journey or face the dreaded sweep.

Their fascinating origin story begins with dollar store balloons and evolves into a runDisney institution that combines precision pacing with compassionate support. Discover how they sync watches with race officials, navigate crowded courses, and use everything from dad jokes to Disney songs to keep struggling runners motivated. You'll learn why they're not the ones who sweep runners (contrary to popular belief) and gain invaluable advice for staying ahead of them on race day.

The episode also breaks down the newly revealed Springtime Surprise Weekend themes featuring Zootopia, Winnie the Pooh, and Inside Out. The hosts debate costume ideas and race strategies for this unique April event that culminates in the inaugural Rise and Run Cruise.

We spotlight the Dragon Master Initiative charity team, which funds pediatric cancer research through runDisney charity bibs, and share an extensive roundup of July 4th race reports from listeners nationwide—including a memorable flooded course in St. Petersburg where runners waded through knee-deep water while lightning flashed overhead. This episode delivers essential runDisney insights you won't find anywhere else.

The #runDopey  crew joins us to celebrate their sixth anniversary, sharing how they've grown from a small accountability group to a 6,000-member community transforming the runDisney experience through positivity, unforgettable costumes, and what they call "shenanigans."

As official Dopey Challenge training kicks off this week (27 weeks until Marathon Weekend!), their timing couldn't be more perfect. The group's moderators Chris, Paula, Leslie, and Idalis offer invaluable wisdom for both first-timers and veterans facing the daunting training schedule ahead. Their advice resonates whether you're tackling your first 5K or your fifth Dopey Challenge: stay present in each training week, understand progress isn't linear, and never underestimate your own strength.

Beyond training tips, the crew reveals the elaborate planning behind their legendary costumes (including those Soarin' flight attendants that caught Disney's attention), their race-weekend traditions involving green bows and dance floors, and heartwarming stories of how strangers became lifelong friends through shared miles. They even drop hints about an aviation-themed group costume coming for Marathon Weekend 2025!

The episode wraps with our Race Report Spotlight featuring John's experience at the Tom Fleming Sunset Classic, plus a roundup of races from across the country – including a ventriloquist-themed 5K that has Jack and Greg plotting their next costume. Whether you're just beginning your running journey or counting down to your next Disney race, this episode captures the magic that happens when we rise, run, and support each other along the way.

Coach Chris Twiggs, Chief Training Officer for Jeff Galloway and Perfect Disney Marathoner (gearing up for his 33rd consecutive event!), joins us to share invaluable wisdom that will transform your warm-weather training.

The conversation goes beyond just beating the heat. Coach Twiggs addresses returning from injuries, fueling strategies for long runs, and the mental challenges of staying motivated when progress feels slow. His most powerful insight? "If you can't find joy in the moment when you're running, then no race result is going to make you happy."

For those tackling Disney challenge races like Dopey or Goofy, Coach shares critical mistakes to avoid, including setting time goals for these multi-day events and walking too much in the parks between races. We also explore the benefits of his customized training approach, which helps runners navigate life's inevitable interruptions without derailing their goals.

In our Race Report Spotlight, we travel to Alaska with Courtney and Lance for the scenic Anchorage Half Marathon, complete with moose sightings and breathtaking landscapes along the airport trail system.

Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or just beginning your running journey, this episode offers practical wisdom to help you embrace summer training while setting yourself up for success in your fall and winter races. Remember, as Michelle from Erie reminds us in our intro: "Your slow summers make for fast falls."

Four months after giving birth to her son Hugo following a 27-hour labor and C-section, Brittany shares the emotional and physical realities of balancing elite athleticism with new motherhood.

What makes this episode particularly special is Brittany's candid discussion about how her sponsor, North Face, defied outdated industry standards by renewing her contract during pregnancy and providing exceptional support for her comeback. "They signed me for multiple years," Brittany reveals, noting that they've even helped ensure her family could travel with her to competitions. This represents a powerful shift in how female athletes are supported through motherhood.

Brittany offers practical wisdom for expecting or new mom runners, emphasizing the importance of listening to your body rather than adhering rigidly to training plans. Her decision to stop running at five months pregnant initially felt like failure, but she now recognizes it as one of her wisest choices. "Having that time off gave me perspective," she explains, describing how pregnancy hiking actually built strength that's benefiting her current mountain racing.

Perhaps most compelling is Brittany's discussion of how motherhood has transformed her mindset as a competitive athlete. After years of "imposter syndrome," she's approaching races with newfound confidence and joy, even planning banana tattoos for an upcoming race as a nod to her "little monkey" at home. Her story reminds us that sometimes our greatest performances come when we release our grip on perfectionism and embrace the journey.

Could you use some inspiration for balancing running with life's challenges? This conversation with Brittany will leave you motivated to lace up your shoes, whatever season of life you're navigating.

Which runDisney half marathon truly delivers the best experience? And does anyone actually know how to change a flat tire without calling AAA? This packed episode delivers answers to these burning questions and many more as we dive into our listener mailbag.

The debate gets heated when discussing whether Wine and Dine or Marathon Weekend offers the superior half marathon experience. Some hosts champion the festival atmosphere and after-party of Wine and Dine, while others can't deny the magic of running through Cinderella Castle during Marathon Weekend. For first-time marathoners, we offer tailored advice on choosing races that accommodate back-of-pack runners, with unanimous agreement that Disney provides one of the most supportive environments for debut distances.

We tackle the very real issue of imposter syndrome in running, sharing personal experiences of feeling out of place on the course. Whether it's being the only interval runner among continuous runners or questioning if you belong in a race at all, our conversation provides reassurance that your running journey is uniquely yours—and equally valid.

Disney Vacation Club members in our crew offer insider advice on securing rooms during race weekends, revealing the crucial difference between 11-month and 7-month booking windows and why "buy where you want to stay" remains the golden rule. For Disneyland runners, we highlight key differences from Disney World races, from sound ordinances to bag check logistics.

Between serious running topics, we detour into delightfully divisive debates about whether the chocolate toppings on ice cream are properly called "jimmies" or "sprinkles," confess our favorite ice cream flavors, and share hilariously desperate tales of bathroom emergencies during training runs.

Join us for this journey through running wisdom, Disney insights, and the everyday moments that connect us as a community of runners. Whatever your pace, distance, or running style—you're home here.

In this thought-provoking episode, we're joined by Celia, Executive Director of the American Council of Academic Physical Therapy, who draws fascinating parallels between conquering 26.2 miles and navigating the challenges of executive leadership.

Celia shares how she transformed from someone who "loathed running" during her time at West Point to a four-time Dopey Challenge finisher, and explains how this journey equipped her with crucial leadership skills. Her framework comparing her first month as Executive Director to the stages of a marathon offers brilliant insights into perseverance, mental toughness, and strategic thinking.

"It's 100% mental," Celia explains about both running and leadership. "The hardest barrier to overcome is in your head." From battling imposter syndrome to finding creative solutions during uninterrupted runs, her experiences demonstrate how physical discipline builds professional resilience.

We also welcome back Matt Bowen, known for carrying the American flag during runDisney races. Matt updates us on his fundraising efforts for Operation 300, supporting Gold Star Families, and shares moving stories of connections made along the race course. His passion for honoring military families through running inspires participants and spectators alike.

In our Race Report, we spotlight Tiffany's creative two-state challenge weekend, featuring races in Indiana and Illinois. Plus, we discuss the newly announced Princess Weekend themes for 2026 and explore whether they influence registration decisions.

Whether you're a runner seeking leadership insights or a professional looking for new performance strategies, this episode offers valuable lessons on turning physical challenges into professional strengths.

Matt updates us on his fundraising efforts for Operation 300, supporting Gold Star Families, and shares moving stories of connections made along the race course. His passion for honoring military families through running inspires participants and spectators alike.

In our Race Report, we spotlight Tiffany's creative two-state challenge weekend, featuring races in Indiana and Illinois. Plus, we discuss the newly announced Princess Weekend themes for 2026 and explore whether they influence registration decisions.

Whether you're a runner seeking leadership insights or a professional looking for new performance strategies, this episode offers valuable lessons on turning physical challenges into professional strengths.

Lowell Ladd, race director of the Bird in Hand Half Marathon Weekend, joins us to reveal the behind-the-scenes magic of organizing this beloved event in Pennsylvania's Amish country.

From handcrafted horseshoe medals to running past actual camels at mile 12, this race offers experiences you simply won't find elsewhere. Lowell shares how the local Amish community embraces this event so completely that they regularly turn away volunteer help – a rare challenge in the racing world! We learn about the massive pre-race festival, the beloved community picnic with legendary BBQ that begins cooking at 3:30 AM on race day, and why this event has earned its reputation as "runDisney North" among our listeners.

As summer heat intensifies across much of the country, we discuss essential strategies for adapting your training. We share practical advice for adjusting expectations, modifying workouts, and staying safe while building that valuable heat adaptation that will pay dividends when temperatures cool in fall.

Thomas Stokes drops by to announce the winners of his special scholarships and details about his upcoming transformation challenge starting July 7th. In our race report, we travel from Houston to Ottawa, where Marina shares her experience completing not only the 5K and 10K races on Saturday, but following them with a half marathon PR on Sunday – and capping off her weekend with a surprise King Charles sighting! Plus, we hear from runners in Argentina, Scotland, and across North America completing their Memorial Day weekend races.

The Pelkey Running Club Story Have you spotted the hats and shirts with "Pelkey Running Club" at recent runDisney events? What began as a one-time costume joke has blossomed into a global running phenomenon, and we're bringing you the full story straight from the source.

We sit down with Grant, the club's founder, and John Pelkey himself—the beloved runDisney announcer who went from joking about runners' early wake-up calls to having his name on gear worn on all seven continents. Their chemistry is infectious as they share how a spontaneous gift of four embroidered hats at the 2023 Princess Weekend sparked something neither could have anticipated. As Grant puts it, the Pelkey Running Club is defined by one word: "community."

Ravi joined us for the Race Report spotlight, and we wrapped up this week's episode by drawing inspiration from our friends Tomi and Chad who completed the grueling Keys 100 race, this weekend.

Henry Abbott, award-winning journalist and founder of True Hoop, joins us to discuss his groundbreaking book "Ballistic: The New Science of Injury-Free Athletic Performance" that challenges everything we thought we knew about athletic durability.

Abbott shares fascinating insights from his research at P3 (Peak Performance Project), where cutting-edge biomechanics analysis is revolutionizing how athletes train. Most surprisingly, he reveals how mental limitations often precede physical ones. Through a remarkable personal anecdote about holding his breath for over four minutes after minimal instruction, Abbott demonstrates how our brains frequently create barriers our bodies haven't actually reached.

For runners specifically, Abbott provides practical wisdom on proper landing mechanics, identifying injury risk factors, and strengthening the often-neglected muscles beneath the knee that create efficient "bouncy" movement. Rather than obsessing over form while running, he suggests building capability through targeted training, then allowing your body to naturally implement improvements.

In the Race Report Spotlight, we hear from 11 runners across four countries who completed the London Marathon. They share their experiences with punishing heat and incredible crowd support. They also describe the emotional highs of crossing Tower Bridge and finishing near Buckingham Palace. Their stories capture both the challenge and the magic of completing a World Major Marathon.

Whether you're battling recurring injuries, seeking performance improvements, or simply wanting to run with less pain, this episode offers invaluable insights that might just transform your relationship with running.

That 3AM alarm for Disney races is something we all question—but then the magic happens. This episode, we're joined by Vern (@RunsOnPizza), whose vibrant interviews with costumed runners have become a beloved fixture of runDisney events.

Vern shares her journey from nervous first-timer in 2018 to the unofficial sideline reporter of the Run Disney community. What began as a simple desire to give creative runners a platform has evolved into something truly special. With her broadcast journalism background and genuine love for the community, Vern arrives on the first bus (before 3:15AM!) to capture the stories behind the elaborate costumes that make runDisney races so unique.

"When I started in 2018, I don't remember seeing half of what I see today," Vern reflects on the evolution of race costumes. From foam constructions to motorized elements, the creativity continues to push boundaries—and Vern is there to document it all.

The training lull between Disney seasons can be challenging, but Greg reminds us that finding local races is key to maintaining motivation. Meanwhile, Alicia celebrates two years of her run coaching business, specializing in first-timers and marathon training with personalized weekly plans.

We spotlight the Kentucky Derby Mini Marathon with Sarah and Ashley, who take us through the unique experience of running through Churchill Downs. Plus, our extensive race reports from Flying Pig Marathon, Indy Mini, and races across the globe showcase our community's incredible accomplishments.

Whether you're planning your next costume or searching for summer race motivation, this episode captures the heart of what makes our running community so special—the creativity, support, and shared experiences that keep us rising and running.

Dr. Michelle Quirk, pediatrician and running coach, sets the record straight in this episode, sharing why walk intervals are not only acceptable but beneficial for all runners. Her thoughtful advice for beginners—remember your "why," start slow, and focus on effort rather than pace—offers a refreshing foundation for anyone lacing up for the first time.

The conversation with Dr. Quirk delves into practical wisdom that both novice and experienced runners will appreciate. She explains how to distinguish between normal muscle soreness and potential injuries through timing, location, and relieving factors—information that could save you from sidelining yourself unnecessarily or pushing through a genuine problem. For parents, Michelle offers sage advice on introducing children to running in a healthy, sustainable way that keeps the focus on fun rather than competition.

Following our expert interview, we're treated to emotional firsthand accounts from three Boston Marathon finishers, including two who completed their Six Star journey at this iconic race. Their descriptions of the overwhelming crowd support and the profound feeling of turning onto Boylston Street for the final stretch will give you goosebumps. As one runner put it: "If you ever want to feel like a rock star, run the last half mile of the Boston Marathon."

The episode wraps with our comprehensive race report, highlighting achievements from runners across the country and around the world—from PR-breaking performances at the London Marathon to the quirky "Reverse London Midnight Marathon" where participants run the course backward starting at 12:01 AM. Whether you're training for your first 5K or your sixth major marathon, this episode offers both practical guidance and the inspirational stories that make our running community so special. Join us as we continue to rise, run, and celebrate each step of the journey together!

Meet Liz and Stephen Fengler, aptly nicknamed "The Flying Fenglers," whose remarkable running journey began in middle school tracks and culminated in a stunning Disney victory.

What makes their achievement even more impressive? This was their first-ever runDisney experience. Stephen maintained a blistering pace around 5:30 per mile, even while still stopped for character photos – a power move that didn't prevent him from winning his division by 16 seconds. Meanwhile, Liz dominated the women's field, finishing with a commanding three-minute lead.

The Fenglers aren't newcomers to shared victory podiums. Since fall 2022, they've claimed dual male-female wins in over 45 races throughout Connecticut, where they're active members of the Run 169 Town Society, challenging themselves to race in all 169 towns in the state. Their competitive backgrounds include collegiate careers at Southern Connecticut State University, where both earned conference honors.

As Disneyland races prepare to pause after January 2026 for construction projects, we're reminded that sometimes the most magical Disney moments happen when family crosses the finish line together.

From unexpected fire alarms at Animal Kingdom Lodge to Bob's show-stopping Groot costume that captured runDisney's official attention, this episode brims with stories that showcase why this community continues to thrive.

Brooks made its grand entrance as runDisney's new footwear and apparel partner, bringing four exclusive shoe designs and size-inclusive options that impressed even skeptical runners. The virtual queue system operated smoothly, erasing concerns about long waits and immediate sellouts. 

The races themselves delivered on character experiences, with more stops than previous years including rare appearances from Mando and Grogu that generated impressive lines through Galaxy's Edge. Course improvements like relocated hydration stations demonstrated Run Disney's responsiveness to feedback, though Greg continues his campaign for Powerade during the 10K.

Perhaps most meaningful was our Rise and Run meetup, where approximately 60 community members gathered to celebrate friendship and running accomplishments. As hosts, we reflect on how these connections have deepened over time, creating a welcoming space for both longtime friends and first-time attendees.

With anticipation building for the Disneyland Halloween weekend and its attraction-themed medals, we close this season with gratitude for the community that makes every mile magical. Looking ahead to our fifth season of podcasting, we're eager to continue sharing this journey with you—whether it's at registration day, race weekends, or our inaugural podcast cruise in 2026!

Looking ahead to our fifth season of podcasting, we're eager to continue sharing this journey with you—whether it's at registration day, race weekends, or our inaugural podcast cruise in 2026!

Episode 185 pulls back the curtain as we answer your specific questions about our individual journeys, preferences, and experiences.

The conversation takes us deep into what makes each host unique in their approach to Disney running. Jack explains why ultramarathons and runDisney challenges scratch different itches despite both being "fun runs". Bob shares his transformative experience at the 2016 Wine and Dine Half Marathon when, at 62, he completed his first runDisney race in nearly three decades with a smile that never faded.

We get personal as hosts reveal their favorite Disney characters and attractions, with Alysha struggling to choose between Dopey and Kevin from Up, and John confessing his lifelong admiration for Darth Vader. Greg takes us to Aulani, describing how the resort's authentic cultural elements create a uniquely meaningful Hawaiian experience.

The conversation turns practical as we discuss our biggest race mistakes and the lessons they taught us. From hydration failures to loose shoes causing blisters, these hard-earned insights might save you from similar pitfalls. We also look ahead, contemplating where we'll be with runDisney in five to ten years.

Perhaps most touching are the stories of magical race moments – Bob pushing his friend Woody through an entire half marathon while wearing a walking boot, and Jack's emotional experience as a Galloway pacer watching runners achieve personal records. These moments remind us why we keep coming back to the Disney parks time after time.

Join us for this uniquely personal episode that strengthens the bonds of our Rise and Run family. Whether you're a longtime listener or joining us for the first time, you'll walk away feeling like you've just had coffee with friends who share your passion for running through the most magical places on earth.

From Disney culinary champions to running through every town in Connecticut, this episode of Rise and Run serves up a delicious mix of Disney dining discussions and an inspiring look at one of running's most unique communities.

As the hosts close out their March Madness tournament of Disney table-service restaurants, passionate debates erupt over beloved dining spots like Beer Garden, Ohana, Boma, and California Grill. Watch as they navigate through tough decisions, occasional tie-breaking coin flips, and personal dining memories before crowning a champion that might surprise you.

The heart of this episode features a captivating conversation with members of the Connecticut 169 running society. Founded in 2012, this remarkable community challenges runners to complete races in all 169 towns across Connecticut. Their stories reveal delightful traditions (like mandatory tutus for 100-town celebrations), the thrill of conquering "elusive towns" that rarely host races, and even dogs who've completed the entire challenge. As one member beautifully states, "You show up for the running, but you stay because of the people."

Between heartfelt remembrances of a beloved community member, essential Springtime Surprise meet-up details, and a race report highlighting listener achievements across the country, this episode showcases what makes the running community so special—the connections formed while putting one foot in front of another.

Planning to be at Walt Disney World for Springtime Surprise? Look for the hosts at the expo or pre-race gatherings, and don't miss their Saturday meetup at Disney Springs where homemade cookies await!

This week we're joined by members of the 501st Legion, a global organization of Star Wars cosplayers who bring movie-quality villain costumes to the sidelines of Disney races. Mai, Marianne, and Tony reveal the intense dedication behind their screen-accurate costumes and share heartwarming stories about using their passion to support charities and bring smiles to children in hospitals.

The 501st, known as "the bad guys doing good," demonstrates how fandom can transform into meaningful community service. From cheering strategically at the most challenging points of a race course to bringing joy to sick children, these volunteers exemplify the power of combining passion with purpose.

We also connect with four friends who recently conquered the Tokyo Marathon, one of the most challenging World Majors to access. They share insights about navigating Japan, battling record heat, handling the intense expo chaos, and adapting to a 14-hour time difference. Their post-race adventures in Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Tokyo Disneyland offer valuable tips for anyone planning their own Japanese running adventure.

Plus, we dive into Marathon Weekend 2026 registration details (which sold out in record time), discuss the promising Hollarhype app that delivers personalized audio messages during runs, and celebrate weekend race achievements from our community.

Whether you're a Star Wars enthusiast, a World Majors aspirant, or preparing for your next Disney race, this episode combines inspiration with practical advice to elevate your running journey. May the course be with you!

The latest episode showcases how running is not just a sport but a way to forge deep and meaningful connections among friends. Through a collection of heartfelt stories, we delve into the experiences of runners who have faced challenges, celebrated milestones, and found joy in their running journeys.

We start with an amazing story from Andrea. During Marathon Weekend, Andrea started a collection and quickly raised the funds needed to surprise Mayra, our Pop Century superstar bus coordinator (episode 171) with an annual pass to Walt Disney World. You can hear the excitement in Mayra's as she describes her first trip to Hollywood Studios. It is not to be missed.

Similarly, Jack joins us in the race report spotlight to give his account of the Icebreaker Marathon in East Meadow, NY providing insight into the mental strength required to conquer the multiple loops of the race. We also celebrate Jack's completion of running every street in Camden County, NJ, a story we first talked about in episode 94. This spectacular effort was done in memory of Jack's father and as a fundraiser for the Lewy Body Dementia Association.

Another of our Galloway pacer friends, Greg, joined us to talk about a very special fund-raising race he his helping to organize in the Tampa Bay, FL area.

As we wrap up Episode 175, it's evident that the spirit of togetherness, shared aspirations, and the magic of community resonates in this running family. Whether you’re training for your first race or celebrating your latest achievement, the heartwarming stories from this episode remind us to cherish every mile, every memory, and every friendship made along the way.

Happy Thanksgiving, Rise and Run family.

Meet Erin and Stephanie, two incredible women who defy the odds by lacing up their running shoes even in the face of cancer. Their stories of grit and humor are nothing short of inspiring, as they share how they've managed to run marathons amidst chemotherapy and surgeries. This episode isn't just about resilience; it's about connecting through the sport we love and finding strength in the shared mantra: "FU cancer!"

After talking with Erin and Stephanie we turn to three college friends turned avid runners, Natalie, Kaitlin, and Hannah, and started a running podcast of their own. The Stride Sisters share their stories weekly about running and, especially, running at Disney - a topic to which we can certainly relate.

Our conversation extends to the delightful news of the Fluffy Fizzies relaunch and the entrepreneurial spirit of sisters Michelle and Pam, whose passion for business has spanned over two decades.

In the Race Report spotlight, the mother-daughter team of Julie and Emmy join us to talk about the inaugural running of the Every Woman's Marathon. No less than 15 Rise and Run friends completed this race, and for more than half of them, it was their first marathon. I hope we don't wear out the PR bell.

In the Race Report, we celebrate the diversity of our running community, with race reports spanning the globe—from Boise to New Zealand. As we wrap up, the call to action is simple: join us for our next Zoom meetup and keep the running spirit alive, even as the training stakes rise. Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or a joyful walker, there's a place for you in our community.

Tune in, stay motivated, and keep running strong!

Join us as we chat with the incredible Brittany Charbonneau, who not only excels in running but also inspires us with her unique projects and amazing attitude.

We also spotlight MaryBeth's half marathon journey in Asheville, North Carolina, and Greg’s spirited message of unity to the Will Run For podcast crew.

We review the newly unveiled Disneyland Halloween weekend medals. From the glossy 5K medal to the Haunted Mansion 10K medal's spooky door knocker detail, these designs are sure to captivate. Brittany shares her recent race experience at Lake Sonoma and dives into her creative endeavors, introducing us to the Excuterus; relating fun stories from art camp in Santa Fe; and explaining quirky projects like "In Defense of the Visor."

Finally, we reflect on her journey from marathon champion to race announcer, offering practical tips for long-distance training and tackling the Dopey Challenge. Brittany's philosophy of balancing personal records with fun adds a refreshing perspective on training and race day prep.

 Whether you're gearing up for your next race or looking for creative inspiration, this episode promises a blend of motivation and camaraderie.

Rise and Run Edition Ever wondered what it's like to run 47 races and collect 63 medals? Join us for a spirited conversation with Bob and our vibrant Rise and Run crew, including John, Jack, Greg, and Lexie, as we answer listener questions in our second "Ask Us Anything" episode.

Dreaming of the perfect Run Disney course? We brainstorm epic race routes and debate the feasibility of the return of runDisney point-to-point races. Celebrity running partners are a hot topic too—Bob finds inspiration in Jason Kelce, Jack dreams of Chris Evans, and Greg reminisces about NSYNC, hoping to run with Joey Fatone. Despite some concerns over the quality of Disney's race medals and merchandise, our love for the running community shines through as we discuss course improvements and the potential return of the Star Wars weekend.

Running has transformed our lives in unexpected ways, fostering a sense of community and accomplishment. From nostalgic memories of races to the support from groups like Rise and Run, we highlight the importance of these connections. We celebrate recent achievements from our community members, including impressive finishes at ultra marathons and scenic runs. We share updates on recent races like Chad's impressive run and Kayla's participation in the Great Bacon Run, and invite you to connect with our community on social media and share your running stories. Tune in for race reports, exciting updates on future events, and reflections on the lifelong benefits of staying active.

We sure did, kicking off this laugh-a-minute podcast with a Family Feud-style showdown that pits the Will Run For family against the dynamic Rise and Run crew. As we hilariously grapple with questions about Run Disney favorites and the oddest hiding spots for race medals, you'll feel like part of our quirky, running-obsessed tribe. From socks and underwear to the unexpected bra stash, our guesses are as wild as the races themselves!

Imagine trying to agree on the most cringe-worthy spots in Disney World during a marathon – that's exactly where our competition heats up. We share collective groans over Blizzard Beach and other infamous locations, reveling in the camaraderie that only Disney runners can truly understand. Then we raise a glass (or a Mickey pretzel) to the post-race indulgences that keep us sprinting to the finish line. Join us as we survey 100 Run Disney enthusiasts to crown the ultimate victory snack.

The energy doesn't stop there – Devon and Carrie join us to let us know about their latest drop of Zip-A-Dee Tee shirts and the special RISEANDRUN discount code they created for the Rise and Run family.

We finish with the Race Report, of course. Sisters Jenn and Emily are here to chat with us about the NYRR Brooklyn Half Marathon.

So, lace up your sneakers, grab your favorite running snack, and let's hit the pavement together with stories, laughs, and a whole lot of heart.

We tackle the serious issues this week. Stuff like: What is a perfect runDisney season? How do you plan for one? How do you train for one? This was too much for us to handle alone, so we invited our friends Fred, Tara, and Stephanie to weigh in. Seriously, though, the term "Perfect Season" has a personal resonance for each runner. It could mean completing every race in a season, achieving personal bests, or simply overcoming personal hurdles to cross the finish line. This concept sparked a broader conversation about how running events can offer a structured goal for athletes of all levels. The pursuit of a perfect season is not merely about the physical feat but the mental and emotional resilience that comes with pushing oneself beyond perceived limits. If you're planning to running multiple race weekends, we hope you'll find this discussion helpful.

By now you've likely heard the news that Pamela is done with Fluffy Fizzies. The decision to step away from a venture that had formed deep connections with customers and friends is never easy. It was a poignant reminder of the close-knit nature of the running community, which often extends beyond the race itself, influencing other aspects of life. Pam's been such a good friend for so long that we are going to miss her at the expos, but we know she made a smart business decision. She stopped by to chat with us about it.


Finally, the episode wrapped up with a race report roundup, a celebration of achievements and the  joys of running events. Jimmy took  time during his lunch break to visit with us in the Race Report Spotlight and tell us about the Dolly (Parton) Dash 5K in Ringgold, GA. We also salute all our friends who took place in the Will Run For virtually live race this weekend.

Scott's book will transport you through a runner's lens to the most magical races on earth. From starting a running plan to a tour of runDisney medals, this guide covers all of the topics that will help runDisney runners, both veterans and novices. 

Just as we were lamenting the end of a wonderful race season and wondering what we'd do to fill the time until our next race, our training plans started back up! That's right, if you are running at Disneyland in September, the Galloway training plan has begun. The gang chats a bit about training in general and how our training is getting started for this upcoming season. We even learn that one of the gang is "getting Jacked!"

Although it ended a few weeks ago, we finally found the time to visit with our friends Rob, Aime, Katie and Mark from the UK who completed the London Marathon. And that was just the beginning of a big race report. The Rise and Run family was very active throughout the USA, Canada, and England this week. Major events included the Flying Pig in Cincinnati, the Pittsburgh Marathon, the Broad Street Run in Philadelphia, and the Indy Mini at the famed Indianapolis 500 race track. 

We close this episode with heartfelt thanks for the camaraderie shared on the pavement and an open invitation for you to lace up and join us at future runDisney events. Until our paths cross at the next race, we're here to keep you company on your run, infusing each step with encouragement and a touch of Disney magic.

Special guest Rachel joins us to bring to life the vibrant energy of Disney races, where themed costumes are as much a part of the event as the finish line itself. We share laughter and lessons from our very own Rise and Run family, delving into race recaps and the community that's always there to cheer us on – whether we're dressed as our favorite Disney character or aiming for a personal best.

As we recount the camaraderie and emotion from Main Street to the finish line, you'll hear from runners like Sue Hayes, who's on a mission to conquer all 169 towns in Connecticut, and Allie Without an E, whose Disney race adventures capture the essence of why we all run. Hear how their stories intertwine with memorable moments like the Dead Last Start group's inclusivity . These narratives embody the strength and spirit of runners who push past every challenge and celebrate every achievement together.

Wrap up your cool-down with reflections on the Boston Marathon and anticipation for future Disney events. We'll share the anticipation and preparation that goes into these iconic races, touching on the emotional rollercoaster that is the journey from training to crossing the finish line. Every stride brings us closer – not just to our goals, but to each other. So join us, and perhaps you'll find inspiration to chase after your own running dreams, Disney themed or otherwise, with the Rise and Run family by your side.

Imagine a sea of familiar faces, each one a story waiting to be told.  The generosity of spirit within our community shines through the thoughtful gifts we've exchanged, the cookies we've shared, and the laughter that's become our soundtrack. From the thrill of the  5K adventure to the strategic triumphs at the 10 Miler, we dissect our collective experiences, reveling in the camaraderie and the unexpected joys that only a Run Disney event can deliver.

But it's not just about the races; it's about the connections made and the obstacles overcome together. As we discuss the sweltering challenges of pacing in the spring heat, we shed light on the importance of race etiquette and safety. We recount the tales of runners who've pushed past their limits, and we offer a candid look at the areas where Run Disney could elevate the experience even further.

Springtime Surprise is Here! Strapping on our running shoes, we couldn't help but feel the buzz of excitement for our latest Rise and Run podcast adventure, where the runDisney Springtime Surprise event takes center stage. It's about the thrill of the challenge, the enchantment of running through magical realms, and the shared struggles and triumphs that bind us as a community. Our podcast stitches together these narratives, wrapping you in the camaraderie that only events like the  Stitches' 'Ohana Challenge can inspire.

Imagine swapping the wrestling ring for Hollywood sets and stunt doubles—Taryn Terrell, our guest for this Rise and Run Rewind, knows exactly how that feels. Her journey from pinning opponents to performing daring stunts for the stars, including doubling for Catherine Zeta-Jones, is nothing short of electrifying. Taryn brings to life the connections between the discipline of stunt work and the endurance of running. Her stories, like filming stunts at a Lakers-Pelicans game or her evolution from a self-proclaimed non-runner to a marathon finisher, underscore the theme of transformation that runs deep in this episode.

Finally, we lace up for a series of race reports that showcase the raw, unfiltered experiences of our listeners. From Camille's comeback to Bridget's heartfelt 5K, these aren't just race stories; they're milestones of personal growth. We also peek into the preparation it takes to stand at the starting line, the battle against injuries, and the undying passion that fuels our strides. It's a journey we're all on together, with each step, each race, and each story, encouraging you to find that spring in your step and push beyond what you thought possible. Join us, as we celebrate the power of running to transform lives and foster connections that reach far beyond the finish line.

As we swap stories of fitness journeys and the evolution of our racing attire, the laughter is as palpable as the sweat on a marathon runner's brow. We take a nostalgic jog through the delightful themes of past RunDisney events, celebrating the infectious spirit and camaraderie that make these races far more than just finish line feats. The transformative power of the runDisney experience shines through, contrasting the solitary pursuit of weightlifting with the communal cheers that propel us towards our personal bests.

Rounding out our run, we highlight the admirable strides of our running community in supporting charitable causes, demonstrating the profound impact of lacing up for something greater than a personal record. Our guests share their passion for organizations like Girls on the Run and the National Down Syndrome Society, truly embodying the heart-pumping philanthropy that makes each race an avenue for change. Join us as we cross the finish line of this episode, heartened by the stories of perseverance, celebration, and the runners who inspire us to go the distance for a cause.

Our latest Rise and Run Podcast episode is your VIP pass to the Princess Weekend extravaganza, where laughs, thrills, and a few tumbles take center stage. Join Tara, Kristen, Mark, and Bob as they reminisce about the whimsical blur of race day, the community spirit at the expo, and those unexpected costume triumphs and trials. Whether you're a runDisney regular or toying with the idea of your first 5K, this conversation is the pep talk for your soles—and soul.

Linger a while with us as we reveal the insider secrets of the Disney resorts, your potential home-away-from-home for race weekend. We'll swap tales of deadbolts and dawn fireworks, weigh the merits of Saratoga Springs versus Pop Century, and even share a tip or two about snatching those coveted early park entries. It's more than just a race; it's about the meticulous planning that turns an ordinary run into a full-blown Disney vacation with all the perks (and quirks). Fasten your bibs and fine-tune your training regimens; we've got the lowdown on everything from pacing strategies to the best photo ops with your favorite characters.

As the mile markers pass by, we take a moment to reflect on the heartwarming narratives that define the runDisney community. Tales of first-time pacers, like Mark, conquering nerves to conjure smiles, and runners like "Wild Bill," whose seasoned legs have carried him to victory across the decades, remind us all why we lace up for these events. So grab your headphones, queue up our episode, and let's hit the ground running together for an experience that's part victory lap, part fairy tale—with all the Disney flair you can handle.

Step into the world of runners who have transformed adversity into strength, especially Danielle, a Hartford runner battling cancer while pursuing the Abbott World Major Marathons. Her poignant tale during the Donna Marathon is interwoven with our own reflections on how the community uplifts us. Alongside her are the voices from our Rise and Run family – including a poem that captures the spirit of conquering the Dopey Challenge, reminding us how we're all connected by the road we run.

Fueling our bodies for the long run, we welcome Zach from Maurten Sports Nutrition, unraveling the complexities of endurance nutrition like never before. As he shares his marathon experiences and the impact of Maurten's products on his performance, we delve into the nitty-gritty of carbs, hydrogel technology, and personalized fuel strategies. It's not merely about sustaining the marathon journey – it's about mastering it.

Also in this episode, we're not just looking back on the strides taken but also forward to the thrills of summer games and the camaraderie of race weekends. From Olympic trials to the must-dos outside of a runDisney race weekend, we're with you through every mile. And remember, our shared paths extend beyond the track, into the heart of the Rise and Run community, where your stories and challenges inspire every step we take. Join us, and let's continue this incredible journey together, one heart-pounding, life-affirming run at a time.

We're not just celebrating her win; we're getting a firsthand account of Stephanie's journey from competitive swimming to marathon champion, and the mental strength required to cross that finish line first. Tracy also chills us to the bone with his Frigid 5K adventures in Provo, Utah, reminding us that every race, whether in the warmth of Disney or the icy grips of Utah, is a unique testament to our love for running.

Our discussion takes a turn around the track of perseverance, as we consider the rigorous training sessions and strategies we've all faced. From my own grueling 14-mile runs to Stephanie's disciplined approach to marathon preparation, we explore the highs and lows that shape a runner's path. We laugh over rogue Hawaiian waves and commiserate about the coldest races we've endured, sharing tips on how to brave the elements. Our camaraderie shines as we rally around the idea that whether you're a seasoned marathoner or just starting out, each run is a story of personal triumph.

We wrap up with reflections on the sheer joy of participating in runDisney events and the anticipation for future races in iconic cities. Stephanie's heartfelt recount of her Walt Disney World Marathon win, from the cheers at Cinderella's Castle to the overwhelming emotions at the finish line, leaves us both inspired and eager for our own next big race. So, tighten those shoelaces and join us for an episode where every step is a celebration of the runner's spirit, and where every story is a victory lap in the making.

Your Rise and Run favorites—Bob, Jack, Lexi, John, and Alysha—are all here, along with birthday boy Abel, to recount the sweat, smiles, and the occasional stumble from this whimsical racing escapade. And in this week's Race Report, we've braved the elements, from the frosty grip of St. Louis to the sun-kissed pavements of Anaheim, each mile packed with stories to warm even the chilliest of race mornings. 

Join us as we navigate the highs and lows of runDisney's return to Disneyland, from the behind-the-scenes happenings at the expo to managing the mischief of gear check-in mishaps and corral chaos. We're not just running through the parks—we're also running through a gamut of emotions, as each of us shares personal victories and the lessons learned from organizational snafus that had us all scratching our heads. As we laugh about our wardrobe choices and the race characters who stole the show (or didn't show up at all), we celebrate the community spirit that keeps us lacing up our sneakers, even when the going gets tough.

We explore the future of runDisney events on the West Coast with suggestions for improvements, and we anticipate the next round of races with the infectious excitement only true runDisney fans can muster. So whether you're a seasoned marathoner or a casual park-walker, there's a place for you in our lively recap. Ready, set, podcast play!

Our Rise and Run team is here to take you on a journey through the triumphs and trials of the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. We recount not just the miles but the smiles, the grit, and the wit that comes with enduring this magical, grueling feat. This episode is a heartfelt homage to the resilience of runners and the spirit of the running community.

Strap on your earbuds and join us as we navigate race day's twists, turns, and tales. We  explore the expo and its merchandise frenzy and review all of the weekend's races with their blend of enchanting characters and routes. The episode isn't just about the distance covered; it's about the emotions unpacked and the relationships that strengthen with every step. Let's reminisce about the energizing cheers, the character costume fun, and the communal joy of the Disney races that inspire us to push beyond our limits.

As we cross the finish line of this episode, we don't slow down. We zoom into the future, brimming with advice for recovery post-Dopey Challenge and strategies to ward off the post-marathon blues. Our stories are raw, our advice is real, and our commitment to sharing the highs and lows of marathon running is unwavering. Thanks for tuning in and becoming part of our Rise and Run family, where every stride tells a story, and every runner has a home. Let's keep the pace together, one episode at a time.

]]> Ever wondered how a marathon can both break you and make you stronger? Our Rise and Run team is here to take you on a journey through the triumphs and trials of the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. We recount not just the miles but the smiles, the grit, and the wit that comes with enduring this magical, grueling feat. This episode is a heartfelt homage to the resilience of runners and the spirit of the running community.

Strap on your earbuds and join us as we navigate race day's twists, turns, and tales. We  explore the expo and its merchandise frenzy and review all of the weekend's races with their blend of enchanting characters and routes. The episode isn't just about the distance covered; it's about the emotions unpacked and the relationships that strengthen with every step. Let's reminisce about the energizing cheers, the character costume fun, and the communal joy of the Disney races that inspire us to push beyond our limits.

As we cross the finish line of this episode, we don't slow down. We zoom into the future, brimming with advice for recovery post-Dopey Challenge and strategies to ward off the post-marathon blues. Our stories are raw, our advice is real, and our commitment to sharing the highs and lows of marathon running is unwavering. Thanks for tuning in and becoming part of our Rise and Run family, where every stride tells a story, and every runner has a home. Let's keep the pace together, one episode at a time.

This week, the Rise and Run Podcast team welcome you to a vibrant celebration of all things Disney and running.

Prepare to pick sides in our latest episode as we toss around controversial opinions like hot potatoes. From tipsy trips on EPCOT's Figment ride, to the Fastpass versus Lightning Lane debate, we're not holding back. We laugh, argue, and even unite over our love for Disney snacks while bemoaning the all-too-common smartphone fixation at the parks. And if that's not enough to pique your interest, wait until you hear our guest Misty recount her real-life 'who-done-it' moment with a race bib thief at runDisney—an adventure that proves sometimes, truth is stranger than fiction.

As we cross the finish line of this episode, we raise our cups—runDisney beer cups, to be precise—to the stories that bind us. Remember, every mile is magic, and every runner has a tale. Let's run this world together.

Not only is Alan a perfect WDW marathoner, he also completed the only Disneyland marathon as well as the LA marathon which, as he explains, was a requirement for Orange County residents who wanted to run the marathon at DL. Injury prevented Grace from being perfect, but she's completed an amazing 27 WDW marathons and will join Alan in 2024.

And speaking of celebrations, it's time for all of our Rise and Run friends to stand up and take a bow as we go through the Marathon Weekend Roll Call. There are more than 350 names on the list this year!

We wrap things up with a Rise and Run tradition. The Impossible Dream from The Man of La Mancha speaks to the challenges of this weekend. We're fortunate to, for the second year, have our friend Mark with us to sing this incredibly motivational song.

So whether you're running with us or cheering from the sidelines, this episode is a testament to the joy, the struggle, and the unity that defines the runDisney community. We packed this episode with celebrations, strategies, and stories that resonate with every runner's heart. Join us, and let's embrace the magic together.

Or perhaps you're unsure about the importance of pacing during races. This week's episode of the Rise and Run Podcast is filled with answers, presented from the perspective of Mark Lane-Holbert, a seasoned participant and fervent advocate of the Jeff Galloway training groups. We explore Mark's personal experiences as well as his unique insights into these groups, and the supportive running community they foster.

Tune in to hear about their run-ins with cool and humid weather, the camaraderie they experienced, and the quaint Cocoa Village where the race flagged off. So, lace up, listen in, and prepare to be inspired.

We've whipped up an episode that's the perfect playlist for your long training run. This week's episode features an invigorating chat with Doreen Manning, a runner who knows her way around the challenging terrain of the Circle Trail Fest. Doreen's journey from running half marathons to conquering high-altitude races is the dose of motivation you need to help you turn out that extra mile! As the conversation unfolds with Doreen, we hear about her battle with elevation sickness and how she transformed this obstacle into an opportunity. This episode isn't just about runners, it's about resilience, personal growth, and the rewarding feeling of crossing the finish line.

The runDisney race season is back and we touch upon everything from training schedules to race etiquette. We are so excited to join you at WDW this weekend. What's more, just as this season begins, runDisney drops the news about the 2024-25 race season. What's that? A new race at Disneyland? It looks like next year, the race season will start in California with the Halloween Race Weekend - over Labor Day!

The traditional Rise and Run Race Weekend Roll Call returns for this season. Over 250 names are in this week's roll call. Don't forget to stand up when you hear your name.

Our Podcasts We Listen To segment makes its return in this episode featuring Mark Lane-Holbert telling us about his podcast, The Running Anthropologist.   

In the Race Report Spotlight, we visit with five friends - Abby, Brenna, Jennifer, Tara, and Taylor - who were among the Rise and Runners who participated in this year's Marine Corps Marathon. While all of the US armed forces sponsor a major race event, none are bigger than the MCM. 

So lace up those running shoes and hit play. This episode is packed with tips, tricks, and tales that'll keep you inspired throughout your run!

Next up on the podcast, we talk to Nick Stewart and Nick Kafker, the co-founders of  Recover Athletics.

This week the gang provides some training updates and tips for the first Dopey and Goofy simulations coming up this weekend where you have four consecutive runs of 45 Minutes, 4, 10, and 23 miles. Should I run them all  or walk them?  Tune in for some of our recommendations.

Back in episode 52 we talked about charities, but due to Hurricane Ian one of our guests needed to reschedule.  We had the chance to speak with DJ from Give Kids the World  who discussed what GKTW is all about, the Night of a Million Lights, and other ways you can fundraise  for Give Kids the World.

We then rewind back to our Episode 15 interview with Brittany Charboneau who won all four events at the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend 2022.   Listen to her story of how an accident  and  dropping out of the Boston Marathon at mile 18 turned into sweeping Marathon Weekend.

We want to wish this week's Race Report Spotlight guest, Kent a Happy Birthday!
Kent ran the Crooked Road 24 hour Ultra in Rocky Mount, VA .   He ran 75 miles in 24 hours on a 1.178 Mile loop. That's 64 laps!!!

Thank you Allison, Tyler, and Grace for introducing episode 56. We sure look forward to meeting you and many of our Rise and Run friends this weekend! Remember, if you'd like to introduce an upcoming episode, please click the Join the Conversation link and leave us your recorded message.

This week's episode starts with a brief look back at last year, followed by a short description of what first-timers can expect this weekend as they start their runDisney journey.

We're all going to be at WDW for the races, but we can't forget that the Food and Wine festival is still in full swing. The gang talks about some of their favorite F&W booths, favorite dishes, and maybe even a favorite dessert or beverage. If we missed any of you favorites, let us know!

In our Podcasts We Listen To segment this week, we're please to have a special guest. Westin Galloway is the producer for Jeff's You Can Do It! podcast. This excellent podcast features Jeff telling us about his time as a world-class distance runner and member of the 1972 US Olympic Team. You'll love hearing Jeff relive those great moments. You Can Do It! also features terrific interviews with Jeff's running friends (including our friend, Brittany Charboneau). We didn't let Westin off easy though. We also chatted with him about Jeff's new running app and other new things coming to the Jeff Galloway running experience.

With the first run of the season comes our first runDisney Roll Call! We run down the list of all of you who told us you would be at WDW this weekend. This is a tradition we began last season, and one that has grown tremendously. We have over 100 names in this week's roll call! Don't forget to stand up when you hear your name.

Our good friend, Nate, is our guest in this week's Race Report Spotlight. Nate was in Washington DC for the Marine Corps Marathon Weekend, but "just" the marathon was not enough for Nate. No, he ran his first ultra, the MCM 50K.

If you want to leave us an intro to be used, click the Join The Conversation link. 

We start off with quick apologies and alibis chat with last week's intro guest so  Bob can tell Joshua and his mother, Nicole, that he is sorry for calling him Justin.

The discussion then turns to the new Expo Virtual Queue for entry to the runDisney merchandise area on the first day of the expo. We discuss some of the pros and cons we see with this new way to enter. You will need to join a virtual queue at 7:30 a.m. and have up to 6 people total in your party. You will not be allowed to enter the merchandise area on first day of expo without a virtual queue time. This queue is only for the runDisney merchandise shop and not the fitness expo or bib pickup.

We are joined by returning guest Chris Twigs and and welcome Chris Turner to discuss running with a Galloway pacer.  After a brief introduction, Chris Turner discusses running with a Galloway pacer at a runDisney event or any event that features a Galloway pace group. We go over some of the following topics:

  • How do you join a pace group?
  • How close do you come to your advertised pace?
  • Do you run the same pace the whole race ?
  • Will there be pacers in all corrals?
  • Do people duck in and out for race photos?

If you want to run with a pacer you can chat with a pacer at Jeff Galloway's booth at the Expo.

On the Podcasts We Listen To segment, we  chat with our friend  Mike from the the Be Our Guest Podcast.  Mike hosts an excellent podcast and has great tips on planning your Walt Disney World vacation.

Listeners have asked us where to cheer during the races, so we give some of our tips and insight on cheering locations for Wine and Dine. If you want more info, check out our friend Kristen from Running in Makeups Video that has a section on spectating.

We announced the drop of our new merchandise pre-order on our website of our new logo shirts.

On the Race Report Spotlight this week, we head back to the Granite State and chat with Heather about the Loco Half Marathon in Newmarket, NH. Heather talked about the challenges of being in a push-rim racing chair and about being a part of the Roll Disney Community.

You can be picked to intro the show by clicking the Join The Conversation link and leaving us a intro.

We have a full house this week as we are joined by our friends Pamela and Kristen (Running in Makeup / Dare to Dopey) as members of our Council of Costumes . Fellow Council member Cindy was not able to join us for this recording .

The training schedule this week for Wine and Dine Weekend is 4 miles with one of them being the Magic Mile. Those running the Goofy or Dopey Challenges during Marathon Weekend have a 7 and 17 mile back-to-back weekend. Those "just" running the marathon have 17 miles on the plan. We get a training update from Lexi who had 26 miles on her schedule, so she ran the Towpath Marathon in Cleveland, Ohio as a catered training run. We then get into the range of emotions we run into (no pun intended) during a marathon. 

We got our first look at the Princess Half Marathon Weekend medals that were released by runDisney this week. Listen to our takes on the medals and some of little things we noticed. 

The Council of Costumes returns as we are joined by our friends Kristen (Running in Makeup / Dare to Dopey) and Pamela. The conversation covers multiple topics: costumes for Wine and Dine weekend, group costumes, alternate takes on the themes of races, and much more to get your costumes ready for race weekend.

We introduced a new segment this week that we will be featuring from time to time called Podcasts We Listen To. The inaugural podcast for this segment is Disney with the Ducks. We sit down and chat with the Ducks on how they started their podcast. 

On this week's Race Report Spotlight we take a trip to the Windy City for the Chicago Marathon. We talk with Emily and Rob about running the Marathon and spectator support on the course.

This episode of the Rise and Run Podcast has a bit of everything! We kick things off with our usual chat about how our training is progressing. Then Bob and our guest host Holly, share some of their tips on how to increase your walking speed. Both Bob and Holly have learned to lower their walking paces to 13 minutes/mile - and sometimes even a little faster. We hope that some of our tips will help you lower your pace - maybe even to the 16 minute mile it takes to stay in front of the balloon ladies.

Our special guest this week is Matt Marcella. You may not recognize Matt's name, but you've almost certainly seen his work on social media. Matt talks with us about:

  • The Team #runDisney Facebook group
  • The RunDisbot, an AI app he created to help you find quick answers to your runDisney questions
  • Virtual Theme Park Challenges
  • Apps to alert you when runDisney races become available
  • The Team #runDisney running gear shop

Finally, we have 2 guests in this week's Race Report Spotlight. We spoke with our friend Ruth from California and Shelene told us about her "meet and greet" during the Alaska Distance Classic Double-Up. You definitely will not want to these stories.

Listeners supplied us with a bunch of great suggestions, and the Rise and Run gang chimed in with ideas of their own. Let us know what you think of them! We're betting that the Springtime Surprise themes are going to be somewhere in the list.

Lisa, The Castle Runner, honored us with a visit this week. You'll enjoy hearing her story of how she left her career in law to move just north of Walt Disney World, where she can listen to the train whistle and see the fireworks from her bedroom window. Lisa talks about her blog, The Castle Run, her awesome playlists, and her experiences with runDisney. She also gave us a brief review of the 2022 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, and we chatted a bit about some of her other business interests.

Finally, our friend Lara joined us in the Race Report Spotlight to tell us about the Skunk Ape 30K trail run in Dade City, Florida!

For most of the episode, we visit with our friends from the #RunDopey Facebook group. We discussed many topics, including how this active and fun group started and grew; the virtual runs they sponsor; some of the merchandise they've made available (including, of course, the famous #RunDopey Goodrs); their support of various charities, and the future of the group. If you already know this group, you're going to love hearing from your friends. If #RunDopey is new to you, you'll want to consider joining them.

Also in this week's Race Report Spotlight, we spoke with Jennifer who recently returned from Eugene, Oregon, the site of the World Athletics Championships. Jennifer tells us about running the ASICS Uplift 5K on part of the World Championship Marathon course.
