Princess 1/2 Participants: Post your Pace here!

[Caitsmama]

There has been lots of chat about finding others to pace with for the race, so i started this thread so that we can see what time others are keeping so we know who we can hook up with.

So, if you are looking for a race buddy - post here with your time!

I wil start, i am doing a W/R (hoping for 3 w/ 2 run) and hoping for a 14:15 (ish) pace.

 

[2BoysMom]

I am doing a walk/run, mostly walk. I seem to be averaging about a 15min/mile. I notice I do go faster with a partner.
Anyone want to powerwalk with me??

 

[Jyl189]

hey all! i plan on running/jogging at least 6 miles and then run/walking
my jogging pace is about a 11 minute mile if anyone wants to start out with me... im hoping the disney "magic" will enable me to run farther!

 

[Caitsmama]

Donna, i am sure i will be in your area! I walk faster with someone also.. but do the 2 min. running too..

 

[smileyk8]

Ok pace buddies i'm going to fall somewhere around 9mins/mile. Guessing i'll slow a lot at the end so having someone there would be great for inspiration.

Stacey and Donna I am right about where you guys are. I would love to team up.

 

[joan4mickey]

Thanks Stacy
My 2 DD's and I are doing a 10 minute run(10 min mile pace)/5 min. walk(15 min. mile pace.
That works out to an overall pace of just under a 12 min. mile pace.

Donna, i am sure i will be in your area! I walk faster with someone also.. but do the 2 min. running too..

I love that idea. I don't think I could run more than 2 min. at a time, but I have started to incorporate more running into my program. Wouldn't that be fun!

Iceberg... are you Megan? Let's all do it.

I do a 2 minute run and a 1 minute walk and will aim for the 12 to 12:50 pace. The race i did this weekend I did under 12 but I am actually going to try to slow down for this one. It's just too close to my last to push myself too hard so I might was well stop and "smell the roses"

I am sure i will be comin' and goin' near ya -- i tend to run at about a 12 min pace,and walk at about a 15:47 pace.. so i am sure when i am walking - i will be near ya.. I am also doing this with my mom and sis - i am sure my sis won't be hanging with us - she is faster, but i think me and my mom are at a similar pace.

Nope I am Wendi.

 

[UP Disney]

I hope to do a walk 3 min/run 2 min with a 14.5 minute pace. On the treadmill, I have been doing 3.3 and 5.3 at least. I haven't been able to run outside because of the cold weather and then the virus outbreak.

 

[#1 Pocahontas]

I would love someone to stay with, but I am so SLOW I'm not sure anyone would want to stay with me.

I am actually going with 3 friends but they are all much faster then I am, they are going to leave me in the dust. I mostly walk with a few jogs here and there just to speed myself up a bit. I average a 15 minute mile. When I started training this summer I was at about a 25 minute mile so at least I've improved. LOL

I've tried doing the jog 3 walk 2 or something similar. On the treadmill I rock at that. On the pavement I just can't do it. I can't jog that long. Sad, I know. I make small goals here and there. Like; I'll run from one end of a fence to the next, or from stop sign to stop sign. LOL It works well enough to keep me under sweeping time, although not much under.

I am mostly a walker (racewalker) but not out to break any records, so I figure to finish around 3 hours and 5 min. Pace around 14:30 or so. I'll be haning with Kim, Liz, Stacey and Brandi. (middle corral)
Remember that the whole part about Disney races is the fun!! Take along a camer and snap some photos. MANY people will have cameras. If like in January their will be characters along the way that you may want to snap a photo of.

Wow, Tracy- That's great time for "mostly a walker." Good for you.

I "dream" about bringing my camera and taking pictures, but I'm afraid if I don't focus I'm going to get swept. I'm hanging around the 15 min./mile myself, but I'm workin' for that 15.

Do you remember your first race, as a race walker, and what your time was? Did you worry about getting swept, too?

Hehe, sometimes I think faster than I can type and miss some letters sometimes!!

 

[TnTsParty]

I guess it also depends on which corral we are in. But I plan on at least running the first 6 miles (hopefully the first 8 like I did during the full in January) I just have to keep telling my brain not to stop to walk (its really hard sometimes) But I am hoping to have a finish time around 2 hours 30 to 40 mins. My only other 1/2 was 2;31 but I don't know if I am able to do that although I would love to do it quicker (I also am a realist!! LOL)

 

[Jyl189]

hey TNT- i have the same idea... keep telling my brain not to walk... im starting in corral B maybe we can talk each other into keep running! lol

 

[Millenium Mickey]

I typically run between 2:30 and 2:40. Since it's my first 1/2 of this year and assuming there are lots of photo ops, I am thinking between 2:45 and 2:50 (12:30-13 min/mile).

I prefer a run/walk interval. I usually do 5/1 or 4/1.
