Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

[_shiny_side_up_]

WAFFLE: I'll be running the London Marathon in three weeks. Hoping to earn a PR after the last year being full of injuries.
After that - I'll take a break for a bit and then get ready for the Peachtree Road Race (Atlanta 10k) on July 4. A variety of fall halfs and training for Dopey make out the rest of the year.

WAFDL: Now that's it's spring, and this weather should be getting warmer (sorry anyone living west of The Mississippi), do you have any organized races to start the season?

Springtime Surprise challenge for me and then I've got nothing after that. I promised my physical therapist that I wouldn't enter anything after SS without his approval. We rushed my recovery from Dopey a little bit because of Springtime and he wants me to have a good recovery without the pressure of another race on the calendar this time.

In my head, I'm eyeing a 10K mid-June or the beginning of July, but I'm going to patient (well, as patient as I can be) with the process.

Good morning! It's Wednesday, and that means another episode of The Mandalorian

WAFDL: Now that's it's spring, and this weather should be getting warmer (sorry anyone living west of The Mississippi), do you have any organized races to start the season? I'll count Springtime Surprise next weekend.

My DW is running The Broad Street 10 Miler iin Philadelphia at the end of this month. She loves that race! Straight shot down Broad Street, and only 4 turns in the entire course. After that, maybe run on the treadmill or early mornings as the weather holds up.

I'm running Broad Street too! A bunch of Dis'ers are! It's less of a straight shot than it used to be... but I haven't seen the map for this year.

WAFDL: I’ve got the Springtime Surprise challenge, and then nothing until a half at the end of June, and the TC Loony Challenge September 30/October 1

Springtime Challenge, then a fun little local 5K in May to finish off the season. The only fall race I have scheduled for now is the Detroit International Half, but I'll probably do at least one other race.

Waffled: Just did the Cherry Blossom 5K and 10-Miler this past weekend, and I'm registered for a 10K next month as well.

I have Springtime Surprise but nothing officially until Chicago in the fall then.

 

[DisneyParrothead]

WAFDL: Springtime with the ten miler, and nothing after that right now. I need a break from running, and I'm looking at some Peloton programs. I've neglected my core since Princess, and it shows

I'm running Broad Street too! A bunch of Dis'ers are! It's less of a straight shot than it used to be... but I haven't seen the map for this year.

I'm not sure what the Broad Street map will look like, but it being mostly straight for the first 9 miles, and ever so slightly downhill, is what makes the race so attractive to my wife. Just that set of turns around City Hall, but it's not bad.

 

[Let's Get Kronk]

WAFDL: The next races I have on the calendar are Wine & Dine weekend (doing all three races). Then Dopey in January and the DL half. God I hope my body survives this.

It's softball season for me so running kind of takes a back seat until later this summer. I still go out and do short 3-milers occasionally, but most of my conditioning is for softball games and tournaments.

 

[jmasgat]

WAFDL: I don't have a race scheduled, but am currently following a 1/2 plan as a way to build mileage towards fall marathon. If I find something at the end of the plan, maybe I'll do one.

 

[AJruns]

WAFDL: just did both Cherry Blossoms, and have the National Women’s Half the first weekend in May. I’m still crossing my fingers for a May jaw surgery date, which will put me out for about 8 weeks, but if that falls through I’ll look for other half options in the area/Oregon when I visit a friend just for funsies.

 

[StarGirl11]

WAFDL: Springtime Surprise up next for me. 5k and 10 miler. I don’t have a lot planned atm. I’ve mentioned it before but I just got out of an in hindsight somewhat toxic trainer. And my new one were still learning to navigate each other.

So we have some stuff planned but not a lot

I’m registered for the Missoula 1/2 in June on the contingent I come out of the 10 miler okay. And then the Marine Corps Marathon in the fall.

Probably other stuff will get added but it’s way too soon to know what

 

[DisneyMountainWoman]

WAFDL: In May I have Colfax 5k and Half marathon so I get a challenge medal. Then I am doing the biggest 10k BolderBoulder! Should be fun. I love not training for marathon's any more the longest run my trainer has me doing is 16 miles. I am trying to get a PR and slowly get faster to get a POT for next year when I try for my first Doopy.

 

[AZMermaid]

WAFDL: It’s 68 today and 92 by Monday! Ugh! I’m hoping to do a 5K on the next couple of weeks. I’m just about done with C25K and want to get a baseline. There’s nothing over a 5K locally in the summer here. I could go to Flagstaff but that’s hilly and high elevation…. So no thanks haha!

 

[lookingforsunshine]

WAFDL: I am doing all of Springtime Surprise! After that just maintaining a running base until Dopey training, working on strength, and training for RAGBRAI (bike tour).

 

[RunWI1265]

WAFDL: I’m doing the springtime surprise challenge and a half marathon a couple weeks later to try and get a Dopey POT. I got a 2:09:xx last year but if things stay the same I’ll need a 2:08 to *hopefully* get into B.

 

[fatmanatee]

WAFFLE: SS next weekend, NYCRUNS Brooklyn Half later this month, and then it'll be a bunch of random races to qualify for the NYC marathon next year.

 

[dis_or_dat]

WAFFLE: usually only do one race a year - so my next one is in November. But 2024 has quite a few bunched at the beginning half of the year!

 

[The Expert]

WAFDL: Well, I was planning a couple of local races but looks like we are moving cross-country! I'm signed up for the 10K and Half at WDW MW and hoping to get the 5K with public registration next week. Other than that, I'll have to look for what's available in my new town in a few months.
