I'm not sure if this thread is for information only, or if we're allowed to post. I apologize in advance if I should be posting this elsewhere.

I'm planning on signing up for this race as a walker...my first DL event and first walk longer than a 5k. I'm looking for anyone who's done this before and who might know of any walking groups...maybe even geared toward the DL half, or training groups that might help me get ready.

Thanks in advance.

Michelle

 

[Belle Ella]

Of course it's not information only Just the starts of the check-in thread for us to post if we're going, talk, share training tips, etc. It'll be a little quiet until registration opens at the end of this month. They didn't have pre-registration at the Expo this weekend for the WDW marathon, etc. and not sure yet if they will at Tinker Bell. Hopefully. I've got my fingers crossed. I want to know that I'm in, even if as it stands right now I'm only in for the 10K. Possibly the 5K as well, but that usually takes a little longer to fill up I think, so I have some time to decide. Then again, these things are getting more and more popular so you never know!

Anyways, hi Michelle! I've done a few of the runDisney events (including 5 half marathons now) so if you have any specific questions I can try and help, as I'm sure others will be too. The only thing with the reunDisney events to keep in mind as a walker is you need to keep a 16-minute per mile pace which is completely do-able.

 

[mbradford87]

I think I'm doing the 10k with my aunt. She's running the tinkerbelle half next weekend, it will be her first half marathon. I've never done any real running so this should be exciting. Now just to wait for registration to open. I have an ap so I know I can register a bit early just hoping she gets in too. Definitely not something I wanna do alone.

 

[Viva Las Disney]

I'm signing up for the 10k for sure, debating on the dumbo double dare, I've never ran a half though so I can't decide.

 

[nervous1sttimer]

Can't wait! Hoping to register for DDD and get the coveted C2C medal too.

Awesome! I hope you're able to. We don't have to play the waiting game for too long. Or so we hope.

There's always a first time for everything and sometimes you have to take that leap and just know what to train for. I didn't think I'd manage it last year but I walked away and now I'm doing the same thing (well, the 10K and Half, no challenge sadly) for Tinker Bell next weekend. But there's nothing wrong with waiting and doing your first half at a different event and then try again net year for DDD.

Good luck to your aunt! And good luck to you. There's never a better time to start 'real running' than the present - although any running is 'real'!

I'm doing the Neverland 5k next week , I ran cross country in high school a couple decades ago but I only started running again about 4 or 5 months ago when I discovered RunDisney. I'm already up to 3-4 miles twice a week with a longer run of 5-6 miles on the weekend. I'm currently averaging just under 10 min miles for my longer runs and becoming a little obsessed with running again.

I'll probably stick to the 10k this year and train for the half for next years Tink, 13.2 is a huge jump from 6.2.

 

[Belle Ella]

You can say that again! My training hadn't gone the way I had planned before my first half. Until that point my longest run still was a 5K. But I'm glad I did it. Sounds like you've got a good breakdown plan. That's how I wanted to get myself up the half, but obviously never happened. Now I'm addicted!

 

[Belle Ella]

So word from the WDW Marathon Weekend Expo is that there will sadly be no pre-registration at the Tinker Bell next weekend, but there will be pre-registration for AP holders and although no pre-registration a discount for Disney Visa cardholders.

I'll keep you posted when I hear more.

 

[mershell]

I just saw the confirmation of AP pre-reg on the Run Facebook page. I'm glad to hear, tho' my friend who is doing this with me, is not an AP. I hope he gets in.
Ironically, I just found out I have arthritis in my hip and knee (it had been bothering me) and need physical therapy, but there are many months to the race, so I'm confident I can do it.

Does anyone have any training tips for walkers?

 

[Viva Las Disney]

I just bought my first AP today . Between the 5k next week (and a few days of park fun) and the 10k in August (and a few days of park fun) I'd only need to go once more all year to break even so it made sense.

I was hoping I could just get the Deluxe since I work weekends but the marathon weekend is blacked out so I ended up getting the Premium, at least I'll save $16 a day on parking .

Hm, I didn't see them post anything on Facebook. What time was it today? Keep in mind, you can help your friend register. My friend who is an AP holder got me registered since I am not an AP holder anymore.

Good luck with your knee!

runDisney events were a big pro for me when I had my Premium AP before I moved down here. Enjoy!

 

[mershell]

Oh, sorry. I went back and discovered it was the AP Facebook page which posted it and a link taking me to the info:

https://www.facebook.com/DisneylandPassholders

I didn't know I could get my friend in. Thanks for letting me know.

 

[Belle Ella]

I see! I haven't been paying attention to the Facebook page for AP holders since mine expired. But it's great that there's some information posted about it. I'll have to have my friend check out the link.

If it works out the same as last year, you should be able to. It's just a link to the registration. I was just going to have her register for me but she was just able to send me the link.

 

[junmatno]

I'm going to be registering early for the Half as an AP holder!! Can't wait, it will be my first half.

And my hubby and 6 year old will do the 5k!!

So excited, already booked FFI so only have to walk across and through DTD.

Great. Thanks so much. I'll try to get him in. I will relax more once I have the registration behind me.

 

[LilPiratesMommy]

I'm not getting any run disney emails. I've checked my spam. The last one was the beg on Nov. I've called And emailed several times with no response. Anyone have any thoughts?
