Wine and Dine 2015

Thanks Bella Ella! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my computer is fast that day!:worried:
 
Does anyone know the cost of Get Sports package that they are offering for Wine and Dine? Trying to avoid the getting a quote process.

I'm not sure what their price structure is for Wine & Dine, but when I used them for the inaugural Tink, it was cost of registration (what you would pay if you signed up through runDisney) plus a minimum of a two night booking through them. Since I needed a hotel anyway, it worked out quite well and the hotel reservation cost was the same as if I would have booked it on my own.

This one also comes with a two day park hopper. If it seems like a deal, I may book through them. Just wondering if their hotel discount will be as good as the RD room discount from last year, 30% is huge for a moderate.

My plan was to do intervals for this race, so it's good to know that other people follow the same approach! The longest race I've done was 10 miles without taking walking breaks and I felt horrible after. I had to lift my legs into my car!

My goal for this run is to feel good enough at the end to enjoy the after party!:teeth:

Running intervals is new for me and I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying it. Last time I did a half (almost 3 years ago) I ran pretty much the whole thing with just walking through water stations. I could barely walk the next few days. I'm finding that using intervals in training is really speeding up my recovery--I have almost no soreness after a long run. I did have a bit of nausea/dizziness last weekend, but that cleared up once I ate some dinner, so it was more of a fueling issue I think.

I do plan to run intervals in the race, though hopefully by then I can get my running intervals a little longer (still playing around with the timing). I definitely want to be able to enjoy myself at the post-race party and not be too sore/tired to walk around the parks the following day!
 
I think DW will continue with the Galloway run/walk method, though I'm not sure what her intervals will be. I will most likely run through, but am intrigued by the walking at the water stops concept, and may do that. Just got about 10 inches of snow yesterday here in Pa, so outside running is (still) out. Back to the treadmill again tomorrow.
 
How strict are they on "certified". I've got a number of 10k's, and a couple of 10 milers, but only 1 course out of all of them was certified.

You have to provide a link to the results, so I'm pretty sure that even if a non-certified course posts them, they're going to be able to see it's not certified. That said...why would you pay to race a non-certified course?
 
It seems like the majority of the races in our area are not certified, which I take to mean USATF certified. In the past, I thought RunDisney took the result as long as you posted a link to the results web page. I'm registered for 2 races right now through Active.com, but see no evidence that either is "certified".

What walk/run intervals are you currently doing?

It depends on the distance. Currently, I'm doing 3 minute run : 1 minute walk for my long runs. I play around with it a little more for short runs. This week I tried both a distance-based interval (.9 mile run, .1 mile walk) for a 4-miler and a 5 minute : 1 minute for a 5-miler.

Plenty of races are certified even when they don't advertise it.

Yay! Interval talk. It was really using Galloway's run/walk method that turned me into a runner. I had previously just run straight but found that after 3-4 miles I was just sick of it. Interval running was what helped me push through to longer miles. I also find that I just don't feel that beat up or tired after long runs either.

I'm a big advocate for playing with intervals. I've tried lots of them. I've run :30/:30, 1:1, 2/1, 2:30/1, 1:30/:30, 3/1 and now most recently trying 3:30/1. :D I like mixing it up some and seeing how I like it. I'd agree with the PP who said that when trying out new intervals you should give it a least a couple of weeks so you can adjust and see how you do with it over several runs.

For the person who was looking to increase their intervals, I second not doing it too fast. I was coming back from a serious illness a couple of years ago and had to build up. I think I started out doing :30/2 minutes and then every couple of weeks I would add :30 to my running interval and decrease my walking by :30. It worked like a charm and I was able to build back up to my regular running interval (at the time 2:30/1) in a relatively short amount of time. If adding :30 is too hard, then just add :10 or :15 at a time. Just have a plan to continue to increase until you reach your goal interval.
 
I am one of the people trying to increase my run intervals. I currently run 1:30:1. I was thinking of trying 1:30/:30 though so my run time was the same, but my walk time was decreased overall. Or should I just go for 2:1. I feel like one of the things that slows me down is walking too slow during walk breaks so that's one of the reasons I was thinking about lowering them to start.
 
I watched the video on the runDisney FB this morning where Galloway talks about the intervals. I feel like the translation of interval to pace per mile is pretty dependent on how fast you are actually running! I got a good laugh when it said that 8 min per mile was 4 min running, :30 walking. I'd have to be running a lot faster than 8:00 per mile for that to average that! :) At my freshest, when I am running, I am doing about 10:30-10:45 per mile. Or... I guess as I was typing that out, I realized... does that mean if 8 min per mile is your running speed than those should be your intervals? I think they didn't really make that very clear if that is so. :)

Maybe I will try reducing the intervals for my next long-long run (11.5 a week from tomorrow for Tink). I've pretty much just stuck to 5:00/1:00 because in my head I was supposed to be trying to get the intervals longer for more running. It takes me SO long to get through a long run, though, I'm so worried to do anything that will make it longer! :) My 10 mile run last Saturday took me 2:20:00.

Yes, he's saying if your average pace is an 8-minute mile, your interval should be 4/:30.

I run-walk, but I stick with what feels right for me. IMHO some of Galloway's intervals - especially his (I kid you not because I've "run" with him doing it) :15/:15 - ridiculous. I put run in quotes there because especially with his "shuffle into and shuffle out of a run" technique I honestly never felt like I was running - more just walking fast and faster.

I use anywhere from a 2/1 to a 5/1 (my walk is pretty much always 1) depending on training and how I'm feeling that day.

Oh. My. Gosh. I thought the same thing... Before Dopey I was doing 4/1 and couldn't even get a 10 min mile pace. Crazy talk :crazy2:

I can't deal with the super short intervals, especially because I'm stuck on the treadmill until this horrendous winter ends. I get super frustrated with constantly having to change the speed, and then by the time the belt actually reaches the "right" speed, your interval is over. My walk is also generally 1 minute. Sometimes I'll "cheat" a little toward the end of my workout and grab an extra 15 seconds of walk time if I feel that I need it, but most of the time I get a nice recovery with a 1 minute walk.

I'm a pretty slow runner; going for distance rather than speed. That being said, if I used his recommendation I'd be running 2 minutes walking 1. I kind of feel like I'd get annoyed with such short runs.

For those who do the intervals, do you also use intervals on your short runs? I'm thinking I'll just do the short runs straight and start to use intervals for the long runs. Sometimes while I'm running I just want to zone out...keeping track of the intervals would require a lot of awareness on my part...:headache:

I totally agree that the intervals prevent you from getting "in the zone" so to speak. Last time I trained for a half, when I was planning on running the whole thing, I noticed that my long runs had sort of a pattern. The first mile always sucked while my body got warmed up. Right around 17 minutes in, I hit my "zone" and could happily cruise along for a few miles, then the last 2 miles were pretty painful. Running intervals sort of evens that whole experience out. Nothing feels really awful, I'm not in pain the next day, but I also don't get those long stretches of "this is great, I could run forever."

Now that I've got 2 months of pretty steady training under my belt, I'm trying to gradually cut the intervals from my short runs. I don't like the fact that I used to be able to run 3-5 miles straight through and now I feel tired after a mile of running. I don't need to (and don't intend to at this point) run a half marathon straight through, but I would like to get my endurance back to where it was in the past and I don't feel that exclusively running intervals is pushing my body enough to get there.
