Try an IT band strap! Worked wonders for me.
Oh my goodness, I didn't know that these existed! I am buying one right now. You are a lifesaver!
My 3 mile week was on July 4th weekend so I ran a local 5K for that. I have 4 miles coming up next Saturday. I have mapped it out and am ready to go. I'm only doing the 5K for W&D, but I'm also training for the 10K for Princess. I wanted a POT for the 10K so I'm training to be able to do a local 10K in October. I never thought I'd be saying those words. I'm in my mid 50's and running was never on my radar. The bling from runDisney has changed my whole outlook!
Just wondering where everyone is staying during thw marathon. We still havent picked a resort yet. Its just me running it so i want to make sure the husband and son can have a good nite and then meet me back at thw finishline.
I see on thw disney website that alot of the resort for the discount have been sold. What about calling rundisney. Wasnt sure what thwy had or if anyone has had any luck.
Ok hears another question for everyone. Tried to find it on the thread and no luck. What do ur family memebers do while u r running???
I really dont want to have to buy the party tickets for them but thwy want to b able to b at thw finish line when i cross.
Do the buses go back and forth between the hotels and epcot???
I know for sure our son isnt going to b able to stay awake til i finish.
Any ideas or infor would b great. Thanx.
I know this has been discussed on this thread previously, but I'm being lazy and don't want to search for the info, so please forgive the repeat...
We have reservations for Beach Club for the trip, and I was very excited about staying there with the ease of access to Epcot...BUT, we weren't able to secure any discounts and paying rack rate for the room is just getting hard for me to stomach. So, we are debating about changing where we are staying. If we do that, we would probably get a rental car to drive ourselves to locations. So, for the night of the race, do I recall correctly that the best option would be to drive and park at Epcot and from there we can catch a bus over to the start area at WWoS?
Hi All, can anyone who did the W&D finish party last year tell me how much of the park remains open? My friend, who also has a ticket for the after party, wanted to know because there are some things she wanted to see and we dont know if this part of the park remains open. I told her I would try to find out through these boards. Thanks in advance

That is the best option for a non-host resort and about the only official answer. You could park at a host resort and take the event bus from there, but then you have to take a bus back to that resort and drive to your resort, as opposed to getting in your car at Epcot when you are ready and going straight back.

Mine are staying home - it's a me-only weekendOk hears another question for everyone. Tried to find it on the thread and no luck. What do ur family memebers do while u r running???
Yep. Technically/officially, it's the only option, but it also happens to be a really GOOD option, too! I stayed offsite last year and drove in: easily parked at EP, hopped a bus to WWOS, car was out there at EP waiting for me when I finally left at almost 5am. Easy and efficient! I'm staying onsite this time, but still plan to drive.So, for the night of the race, do I recall correctly that the best option would be to drive and park at Epcot and from there we can catch a bus over to the start area at WWoS?

My friends have always napped and went to the party or cheered from the Boardwalk/Beach Club areas. The finish line can be a bit of a cluster mob and difficult to find folks, and the boost of a hug/high five from someone you know around mile 12 I find very helpful.
