Marathon Weekend 2027

[nancipants]

I do enjoy them but their episodes are SOOOOO LONG! I get that it is by design so they can fill up a long run during rD training, but not all of us are listening to them that way. And I agree they are very kind on the course. I often see Bob and always say hello and thank him for his community building.

I listen to all my podcasts on 1.3 setting. My husband HATES it but it's the only way I get through them all. For R&R, I often skip the individual race reports at the end, too.

A Disney running podcast? I’ll be checking that out today. You said it was “one” of the podcasts that covers Disney running, what are some others? I remember The Mickey Miles Podcast from years ago with Mike Scopa from WDW Today (the good version) but have never heard of others. Thanks.

There is a newer one, it might be getting close to a year in, but One More Run is another runDisney focused podcast.

I’m a firm 1.5 and still can’t keep up if I’m not running 6+ hrs a week. Husband also hates it so I have to slow down if we’re listening on a road trip.

Oh my gosh I was thinking about this podcast for the first time, in a long time, this week and it was killing me that I couldn't think of his name. Or the woman that also hosted actually. Thank you for at least partially filling that in for me!

• So far that is the only other rD podcast I've put on my list to try. There are some podcasts that seems like I'd like them, but don't.
• One of my other go-tos is the Survivor-oriented No Buffs, as I continue my efforts to be a castaway and become the oldest winner....
• I'll have to give the 321 Go a try.
• Yes, the R&R podcasts are long, which means I may listen to one over several runs, and I rarely hear the end of the podcast.
• But I have enjoyed putting faces with people and voices I've heard. For instance, I just met Coach Twiggs last month, and in a recent podcast they talked to Ms Ferrin, who I saw on the course in Jan, but didn't know who she was at that time.
• And yours truly has opened the podcast a few times, most recently for the episode that started with mention of Galloway's passing. I know it was a total coincidence, but I still felt honored to so. That said, it just reinforced that I have a voice for print media...

Coincidence verified.

R&R is the Rise and Run podcast, one of the podcasts about Disney running that I listen to on training runs.
During my time of post-surgery recovery and rehab, I wanted something to keep my head in running, even if my body wasn't. I "found" the R&R podcast and have enjoyed listening to it over the past 18 months.
FWIW, I've talked to them in person a number of time and attended meetups; they are also a good bunch of people.
I highly recommend their podcast and FB page to anyone looking for more rD-oriented content.

I like Rise & Run too. Am I the only person to notice that it feels like a bunch of runDisney-adjacent podcasters etc are from the Philly/South Jersey area?

 

[Barca33Runner]

I listen to and watch everything on 1.75x-2x speed where available. It has started to make listening to things at normal speed sound like the speaker has some type of impairment.

ETA: I listen to a lot of basketball/sports podcasts

Michelle Scribner Maclane. I love Scopa! Found out he and I went to the same school, too. Although he has about 25 years on me.

Less than 300 days until MW 2027.

I’ll sleep a little easier in a week once I know whether I’m participating or not.

It sure seems that way. I could do without all the Phillies and Eagles propaganda.

 

[lookingforsunshine]

But maybe waking up early for the half would make sleeping before the marathon easier???

As a lifelong night owl who hates mornings, I can confirm that the multiple days of waking up early make it much easier for me (partially bc I can fall asleep earlier than my usual 12-2 am bedtime lol).

One of my other go-tos is the Survivor-oriented No Buffs, as I continue my efforts to be a castaway and become the oldest winner....

We need a code word to find each other in case we ever get cast on the same season… alliance! My fav Survivor podcast is RHAP.

I started waking up earlier at home about a week before I left for Princess, it helped a little bit.

The rD alliance! On the super down-low, like Kyle and Camilla!
Potential code words: Dopey, Goofy, or Grumpy

I forgot about RHAP; I've listened to that as well.

It's the best part!

 

[GollyGadget]

Well, I wasn't 100% I was going to even do it. But now I am 100% after receiving an early registration. So, Dopey #5, Perfect Dopey, and Marathon Weekend 2018 here I come! It also had a $10 off discount.

For some reason I just remembered how 2018 had an early registration for folks who participated in 2017. Forgot there was also a small discount!

Gawrsh I miss when loyalty was appreciated and not taken for granted.

@DopeyBadger - is this what it would take for your return???

I very much miss the early AP/DVC registrations and discounts.

Me on January 11th: "Okay, I did it (the Dopey). It sucked getting up 4 days in a row at 2/2:30 am, and I don't ever need to do it again."
Me on March 12th to DD: "What do you think .. should we sign up for the Dopey again?"

UGH!!! Race amnesia has really set in. I swore we would only do it once just to say we did it, and now here we are trying to figure out whether to join the registration madness on Tuesday. I'm kind of pushing for the Goofy, but DD said we'd have serious FOMO. What do those of you who have done multiple Dopeys think? Is she right?

I admire your dedication

Okay, more Disney/runner math. If I’m fortunate enough to secure my marathon spot, I’m really torn on spending the extra $$ for the women’s weekend jacket. Had an epiphany today. If I pre-order it, then I won’t have to go to day one of expo, which is pretty horrid. Which means I don’t need to fly in on Tuesday or Wednesday. Maybe not even arriving until Thursday or Friday. Which saves $$ on hotels, dining, parking fees at airport, etc. So really, by spending an extra $100 now, I’ll save HUNDREDS in January!

Really depends on the person and how susceptible you are to FOMO.

Me? I hate lack of sleep more than wanting 3 extra medals so for me Goofy is a great compromise.

For others, they'll be disappointed not doing them all.

Why not split the difference and SHE can do Dopey while you sleep in 2 extra days and YOU can do Goofy, then compare notes at the end of the week.
