RunDisney Jeff Galloway meet-up

[RENThead09]

HAs anyone participated in this before. I Am doing it on Friday at Disneyland.

If you did the Run/walk with Jeff, what were his intervals. 1:1? I currently do 2:1 and just want to get the new pace into one of my rubs this week to get the feel for it.

Thank you so much for any help.

Have fun!

I did the meet for the Tink Half. We did 40/20 but it was fast! A lot of us had trouble keeping up for the 2 miles but they did tell us they had to get us out of DL and into DCA by a certain time and I think we stated a little late.

Let us know what the surprises are. For Tink we got nice runDisney shirts and ended with a tour of the Dream Suite (above Pirates).

That sounds awesome for your surprises.

They asked for shirt size, so I am guessing we get that.

Dream suite would be awesome. But I am just pumped for whatever happens and the chance to hear from Jeff.

I ran yesterday for 3 miles at 30:30 with a pace at 11:15. They said to be ready for a 12 min pace, so hopefully I'll be fine.

Thanks for the info. Have a great weekend!

We had our Meet and Greet in the Animation Academy and heard from Jeff, Megyn Price and the head guy of runDisney (I forgot his name). Also, Minnie came out in her running outfit and we all got pictures taken with her and then Disney sent us a link to download the pictures for free.

I'm thinking you guys may get to ride Racers since the meet up is in Cars Land.

 

[RENThead09]

I agree it will be Cars Land heavy, but that is ok. It will be amazing to run down a quiet carsland. That area is spectacular. It truely takes your breath away.

Thanks for all the insight. I'll definitely report back. Time to figure out what to wear tomorrow.

Just curious, how does someone get picked to get to do the Galloway meet? I would love to do that someday but I'd probably be so nervous I wouldn't end up going

You respond to an RSVP on the Disney Blog. And then, if you're me, you never get your timing right and don't get picked.

It seems to always be at noon on a weekday, so those of us with jobs that do not allow us to access the blog at that time are always shut out. I'm a teacher, so I don't even try. Not only is the blog blocked anyway, but I have those silly kids I have to teach. I think that's also why it's a lot of people who get to do it multiple times. They are the ones who have access to the blog in the middle of the day.

Not sure where you are located, but he does running school workshops all over the country that you may want to consider. Those are much more insightful than any of the runDisney meet-ups. He is such a friendly guy and due to the very tight schedule that he has during Disney race weekends, you don't get to see that side as much as usual. It is one thing to hear him speak, but a completely different thing for him to evaluate your running, give advice, answer all the questions you throw at him, and yet he still remembers who you are. He may have accomplished a lot with all those books, training programs, making it to the Olympics, etc. but he hasn't let any of that get to his head.

I think in the future I will do one of his running retreats. They look like fun and are located in some nice vacation spots.

Sending good vibes that during the next meet-up, that all of you trying to get in have better typing skills than everyone else so you get in! I have met him several times, so I feel that others need to meet him during the Disney races.
