The early alarms, the corrals, the castle, the finish line glow—Marathon Weekend is closer than it feels, and we’re tackling the questions you’re actually asking. 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. Subscribe, share with a friend gearing up for Marathon Weekend, and tell us your best cold-weather or spectating tip in a review—we’ll feature our favorites on a future episode.

Dec 11

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. 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.

Dec 4

In this episode, we shine a spotlight on one of the most misunderstood parts of the runDisney experience—the Dead Last Start. 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.

Nov 27

A rainy run outside Tokyo Disneyland. 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.

Nov 20

A game show rivalry meets runner wisdom in a rubber match that’s equal parts chaotic, helpful, and heartfelt. 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.

Nov 13

The miles are getting long, the holidays are closing in, and motivation is wobbling—so we get honest about what actually works. 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.

Nov 6

The sunrise hits the Staten Island Ferry and everything changes. 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.

Start with a sunrise 5K in costume, add a social 10K with better photo flow, then stir in a half marathon that put course design under the microscope. 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?

The fastest way to upgrade a race weekend isn’t a workout—it’s a conversation. 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.

The countdown to Wine & Dine is on, and the energy is real. 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?

Ready to arrive at the start line feeling like a coiled spring instead of a burnt match? 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.

This week we bring all of it together—training breakthroughs, fandom debates, and the power of community—with NYT bestselling author AJ Wolfe, the voice behind Disney Food Blog and AllEars. 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.

Costumes transform runDisney races from mere athletic events into moving celebrations of creativity and character. 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.

Episode 208 transports us to the heart of Amish country as we dive deep into the Bird in Hand Half Marathon weekend. "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.

Running truly connects us across continents, time zones, and finish lines—a truth brilliantly illustrated in this globe-spanning episode. 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.

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."

Every finish line moment you've celebrated was made possible by someone who showed up before dawn, prepared water stations, or cheered when you needed it most. 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.

Magic Bound Travel's Brad and Maggie join us to share valuable insights about upcoming Disney parks events, including the opening of the new Beacon Barrel lounge, available Eat to the Beat concerts, and Halloween festivities. But the highlight of our conversation revolves around the first-ever Rise and Run Podcast Cruise, setting sail April 20-24, 2025, on Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas. With 99 "happy haunts" already booked, we discuss cabin availability, onboard activities, and transportation options to and from the port. This celebration cruise offers the perfect way to cap off your Run Disney season with fellow podcast listeners and running enthusiasts. What makes a perfect runDisney race weekend resort? Our hosts and travel experts engage in a lively debate, ultimately crowning Beach Club as their top pick, followed by Pop Century, Port Orleans French Quarter, Polynesian, and Coronado Springs. Each resort offers unique advantages for runners, from hot tubs for recovery to easy transportation to the starting line. The spotlight shines on Melissa, who conquered her first 50K ultra marathon through mud, rain, and challenging trails. Her inspiring story of perseverance reminds us why we push ourselves beyond comfortable limits.

Have you ever wondered how a simple cheek swab could save someone's life? 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.

What's it like to be the voice that gets you up that brutal hill during a runDisney race? 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.

For our landmark 200th episode, we're joined by a running legend who needs no introduction—Jeff Galloway, Olympian, author, coach, and the revolutionary mind behind the Run-Walk-Run method. 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.

In episode 199, we visit with runDisney royalty Alan and Grace Young, who share their remarkable 30+ year journey with Walt Disney World Marathon. 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.

The iconic Balloon Ladies return to the podcast, sharing the story behind runDisney's most recognizable pace team. 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.

When does a running group become family? 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.

Summer is here, and it's time to adapt your running strategy to the heat. 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.

Professional trail runner Brittany Charbonneau joins us for a heartfelt, inspiring, and fun conversation about her journey through pregnancy, motherhood, and returning to competitive racing. 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.

What happens when you have nowhere to pee during a 4 a.m. training run? 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.

What can marathon training teach us about effective leadership? 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.

What does it take to create a race experience so special that runners travel from across the country to participate? 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!

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.

"Why did I ever think this was a good idea?" 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.

Have you ever wondered if you're a "real runner" because you take walk breaks? 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.

When a brother and sister team take on the Springtime Surprise 10-Miler, they don't just participate – they make runDisney history by becoming the first siblings to win both the male and female divisions in the same race. 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.

The curtain closes on another magical runDisney race season as we unpack the highlights, challenges, and unforgettable moments of Springtime Surprise Weekend. 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!

Ever wonder what goes on in the minds of your favorite Rise and Run Podcast hosts? 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!

Ever mistaken your neighbor for a game show legend? 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 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.

Stride into the world of runDisney in our latest episode as we hit the ground running with Scott Douglas, author of, "runDisney: The Official Guide to Racing Around the Parks." 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.

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.

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.

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.

On this week's episode of the Rise and Run Podcast, we had the distinct pleasure of speaking with the man, the myth, the legend, former Olympian and runDisney Training Consultant Jeff Galloway! Mr. Galloway has positively impacted thousands of runners for decades with his innovative run/walk/run method, and we are absolutely honored that he was willing to take the time to speak with us!

The gang also takes some time to provide training updates, our successes in registering for the 2023 runDisney Princess Half Marathon Weekend, and Lexie fills us in on her recent 10K she completed in Iceland (and here is a hint...the cold never bothered her anyway!).

Marathon Weekend is coming up, quickly! The training runs are getting long and the weather in many parts of the country is getting nasty.

In this week’s episode, we discuss all of this and take one more look back and Wine and Dine Weekend.
