    Official Avengers Super Hero Half Marathon Weekend 2014 Thread!

    We looked into flying into San Diego and going to the zoo and then driving up to Anaheim as well. However we decided against it only because it seemed like it would be a very very busy vacation by doing that with going to the zoo and then driving or coming up to go to Disney and then taking the...

    Official Avengers Super Hero Half Marathon Weekend 2014 Thread!

    Have people started to train for this yet? If you have, what training plan are you using? Or, even if you haven't started have you decided what training plan to use? Just curious to see everyone's different training methods!

    Perfect, yes we plan on leaving to catch one of the trains out!! Thanks for the insight. I wouldn't have thought that the farther you get down the farther behind schedule it gets. After you said it though, totally makes sense!

    Official Avengers Super Hero Half Marathon Weekend 2014 Thread!

    Anyone have any insight on getting from DL to the train station? I saw you can take the Pacific Surfliner (I think?) not far from what I can only assume is the Angels stadium. It seemed like it was still a few miles down, but I wasn't sure if this was the best way to get up to Union Station...

    Nope the Park Place Inn and Mini Suites is the one we are staying at so that sounds perfect! Thank you for the info!. We wanted to make sure we booked quickly as I know a few have already sold out and with having to buy airfare for two kids as well, this trip is already going to be on the...

    I am at the Best Western Plus. It looked to be fairly central on Harbor. Does anyone know anything about this hotel? It looked like it was close enough that walking to the Parks and the start line would be very feasible. Especially considering how far the WDW races have you walk to get to...

    I signed up for the 1/2 right when it opened. Glad I did it right when it opened. I got back from my lunch and it was already 95% sold out. This will be my first time doing a DL race. I've done a number of the Disney World ones so I am pretty excited. With a 4 year old and 2 year old we...

    Ok so I am way late on this but wanted to make sure you got yourself fixed since I had the same problem on the same watch. It's the world's easiest fix. Delete your run history. That's it. Do that and your watch should run as good as new. Of course if not, you may need to get a new battery...

    The online tools use the middle of the road (map my run, google, ext) so the mileage will be off because most people, at least those who don't want to be hit by cars run on the side. GPS is usually the best way to go whether watch or phone. I've used both and as long as your signal is ok it...

    Don't worry about those nay sayers. At least you are out there trying something they probably aren't. If you get enjoyment out of it good for you! When I started running about 4 years ago, I was 235 lbs and our son was 4 months old. I decided I needed to turn my life around. When I started...

    When I trained for the goofy this.is actually how I trained with back to back saturday and Sunday runs. The plan I used for that was actually a plan for a 50 mile ultra and it worked well. The basic rule with it was just that (surprise shocker here) your Saturday run was half of what you run on...

    Haha your fine. I asked, we will see what they say. If I don't get a straight answer back maybe ill try to dig a little deeper. I have some contacts that still work there from when I was a CM.

    I've read articles, and yes, all that is taken into consideration. They have to hire an outside bus company to bus people and pay their own workers and everything. Pay for the medals and shirts, ext. But...they also have sponsors (as noted by the covering on the backs of the shirts). So that...

    A great point, last year I ran ToT and by mile 3 my clothes were so wet it was like I jumped into a swimming pool! Sometimes destination runs can be so hard to train for. Question: does anyone know how much of the proceeds from the Disney events actually go to charity? I know when I ran during...

    Might be different as a guy, but living in upstate western NY I run in the lovely lake effect snow. I have a pair of mizuno breath thermo that work well and I have some craft wind blocking gear as well. And a saucony beanie type hat that deff keeps my head warm. I know they have women's...

    All of the races I have done have always had the cliff pace teams. That being said...this is the PRINCESS half marathon and your husband should run with you step by step anyway. I am running with my sister. I think most men who sign up for this either run with someone or for someone. I would...

    You could look at flying out of Rochester its like 308 per person from thurs to Monday. Also, usually if there are only 2 seats left, they will open another route and prices drop. I was in the same boat it was like over 300 to fly (in November), a few weeks later they opened a nonstop at 222...

    It's real simple...what you do is put one foot in front of the other until you've covered 13.1 miles ;)

    How many people run in the PHM weekend? I know during marathon weekend this year it took me like 2 hours to get my packet, the line was wrapped all the way around the fields and almost back to the track! I know there's less just wondering about how many. Thanks!
