dopey challenge

We had an absoulte blast on this episode with our amazing, wicked fun guest Brittany Charboneau! Brittany (00:11:00) joined us on the pod to talk about running in costumes, collecting pennies, her art, cookies and much more. We talked alot about running too (this is a running podcast) and Brittany has been around the world getting to run in some amazing places, competiting for team USA which was a childhood dream you'll learn about, and at the end we get to play a role in one of her upcoming tempo runs. This is a can't miss episode with Brittany.

During the Tros, Eric and Erika catch up on the past couple weeks, discussing recent travel, Erika's 50k race and we also celebrated some friends of the pod who had an amazing weekend getting BQ's and also some winning their respective races. We celebrate because our friends of the pod are amazing people.

This week's episode intro is courtesy of Rise and Runner Tara. You can be picked to intro the show by clicking the Join The Conversation link and leaving us a intro.

We have a full house this week as we are joined by our friends Pamela and Kristen (Running in Makeup / Dare to Dopey) as members of our Council of Costumes . Fellow Council member Cindy was not able to join us for this recording .

The training schedule this week for Wine and Dine Weekend is 4 miles with one of them being the Magic Mile. Those running the Goofy or Dopey Challenges during Marathon Weekend have a 7 and 17 mile back-to-back weekend. Those "just" running the marathon have 17 miles on the plan. We get a training update from Lexi who had 26 miles on her schedule, so she ran the Towpath Marathon in Cleveland, Ohio as a catered training run. We then get into the range of emotions we run into (no pun intended) during a marathon. 

We got our first look at the Princess Half Marathon Weekend medals that were released by runDisney this week. Listen to our takes on the medals and some of little things we noticed. 

The Council of Costumes returns as we are joined by our friends Kristen (Running in Makeup / Dare to Dopey) and Pamela. The conversation covers multiple topics: costumes for Wine and Dine weekend, group costumes, alternate takes on the themes of races, and much more to get your costumes ready for race weekend.

We introduced a new segment this week that we will be featuring from time to time called Podcasts We Listen To. The inaugural podcast for this segment is Disney with the Ducks. We sit down and chat with the Ducks on how they started their podcast. 

On this week's Race Report Spotlight we take a trip to the Windy City for the Chicago Marathon. We talk with Emily and Rob about running the Marathon and spectator support on the course.

On this week's episode of the Rise and Run Podcast we welcome Chris and Jenn; our featured guests joining us for the entire episode. We begin with some quick training updates and then chat about how you might want to tackle the first back to back run weekend for those doing Goofy or Dopey Challenges with 4 miles on Saturday and 13 miles on Sunday. We also discuss some of the big announcements from the D23 Expo this past weekend and we give a rundown of some of the highlights!

With Wine and Dine approaching fast we talk with Chris and Jen about training for half marathons. They discuss why they run this distance and the special goals they have pertaining to them. We also give some tips to someone running their first half marathon.

Come along with us for the party that is Episode 41!  We'll start with a quick update on the progress of our training and then share our thoughts on the recently released medals for Wine & Dine Weekend.

For most of the episode, we visit with our friends from the #RunDopey Facebook group. We discussed many topics, including how this active and fun group started and grew; the virtual runs they sponsor; some of the merchandise they've made available (including, of course, the famous #RunDopey Goodrs); their support of various charities, and the future of the group. If you already know this group, you're going to love hearing from your friends. If #RunDopey is new to you, you'll want to consider joining them.

Also in this week's Race Report Spotlight, we spoke with Jennifer who recently returned from Eugene, Oregon, the site of the World Athletics Championships. Jennifer tells us about running the ASICS Uplift 5K on part of the World Championship Marathon course.

On this week's episode of the Rise and Run Podcast, we had the distinct pleasure of speaking with the man, the myth, the legend, former Olympian and runDisney Training Consultant Jeff Galloway!  Mr. Galloway has positively impacted thousands of runners for decades with his innovative run/walk/run method, and we are absolutely honored that he was willing to take the time to speak with us!

In part 1 of our interview, Jeff tells us the story of how the run/walk/run method was developed, and then answers your listener questions about the magic mile, training, and race day strategies, including tips for those running the Dopey Challenge!

The gang also takes some time to provide training updates, our successes in registering for the 2023 runDisney Princess Half Marathon Weekend, and Lexie fills us in on her recent 10K she completed in Iceland (and here is a hint...the cold never bothered her anyway!).
