Disney Marathon sign up (Read 437 times)


thumbs up!

    I'm considering running the Disney HM next January. I'm SO not ready yet, but with a year to train, who knows. It's something to aim for. I went to their web site and noticed that the "Goofy" is already 3/4 full? Does anybody know when the half and full registration fill up? If you ran it, when did you sign up?
    2010 Goals
    1. get to and maintain 20 MPW
    2. sub 50 min Crazy Legs 8k -- April 10 (so close! 50:13... next year)
    3. sub 30 min 5k
    4. improved time in Madison half marathon -- May 10
      I ran the full and my wife ran the half. I am doing the Goofy next year. Take a look at this message board for some good information. http://www.disneyrunning.com/forum/index.php From this thread, it filled up on June 1 last year. It seems to be even quicker this year as it was 60% full on March 21 last year and is almost to that point now. http://www.disneyrunning.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=142

      2010 Goofy Trainee

        I would sign up soon. A year is plenty of time to train for a half marathon. And once you sign up you will be committed, and that will be a great motivation to get out there and train. Here is a good novice training plan: http://marathontraining.com/faq/faq_hm.html. It is a 23-week plan including a mileage buildup schedule, so that means you would start in late July. Between now and then you would just try to get comfortable running 15 miles per week. Looking at your log, it seems like you're well on your way. Good luck.

        Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream...

          Thanks! This is the first plan I've seen that is longer the 8-12 weeks. It's a little scary to look ahead at the plan to see 5 runs a week, at high mileage. But, how amazing if I can actually do it!
