As I announced last week, me and my dad are hoping to be lucky enough to take part in not 1, but 2 RunDisney events at the beginning of next year; running a half marathon at each. We started running together last year, going from total inexperience to finishing the year with a 10k, so a half marathon is a total step up for us.
For us, the most sensible way to train was to use the training schedule designed by Jeff Galloway, the esteemed US athlete and trainer used by the RunDisney gang. Its a 20 week programme consisting of 3 runs a week: 2 x 30 minute runs, followed by a run of a set distance.
So the running this week hasn’t been too difficult; just a case of building up the muscles and getting back into it. The real challenge has been running in the chilly temperatures of an English January, and dressing suitably for it; we did all our running last year in slightly warmer temperatures! I’ve been wearing full length running leggings, and a vest top underneath a fleece jumper, which is working quite well for me, but as I only have the one fleece I’ve got to look into a bigger range of options to avoid smelliness!
Just 19 weeks to go..

Which race are you doing?
With any luck, the half marathon of the Walt Disney World Marathon weekend, and the half marathon of the Star Wars Marathon weekend at Disneyland the following week 🙂
Week 1 can be tough. Now that you are over it you are on a roll. Good luck with the plan and the race.
Well in all fairness, we’re doing the beginners programme, and we’re not total beginners! Thanks 🙂
