    I second @Sara W. My rule is if a lingering issue lasts longer than 2 weeks, then it's probably time to seek a professional opinion about it. But not being able to do 3 miles without pain is concerning with four weeks to go. I've found sometimes issues linger for a while, then I seek medical...

    Princess Half Marathon Weekend 2025 (Feb 20-24 2025)

    @DisneyDad0315 here are my recaps running with my daughter (8-9 at the time) and give you an idea of what it's like on race day. It very much aligns with @Herding_Cats recap. Princess 2022 5k Princess 2023 5k Disneyland 2024 5k It's a ways a way, but here is the post for registration tips (link).

    The bolded is the important part when dealing with these steep rolling hills. Ignore the pace and "feel" the run. You'll learn after doing it over and over what is an acceptable pace when doing hills that are similar to what you'll encounter on race day. You want to be able to finish the hill...

    I was able to find one of your hill routes in Strava segments. I sent you a DM. The steep one is +2 min. Meaning if you run a 9 min/mile, it's like running a 7 min/mile. I only found pieces of the longer route. The downhill is a -10sec. I would guess the 1 mile uphill is about 30-60...

    What time are you passing through tomorrow? I can probably scoot out for 30ish min or so.

    So you peaked at 4.5 hrs in the 10 miler training plan (with then two taper weeks around 3 hrs) with a 10 mile long run (105 min). Week 3 of the Higdon Advanced plan takes 35 min + 40 min + off + 35 min + off + 45 min + 70 min = 230 min = about 4hrs Week 7 of the Higdon Advanced plan takes 35...

    It's workable to do a 10 week training plan + 6 week training plan (but only doing 6 of 8 weeks). The trick is making sure they're appropriately bridged. Otherwise you run the risk of putting in good training and not yielding the desired outcome on race day because you're not peaking. Spend...

    Springtime Surprise Weekend 2024 (April 18-21)

    Club rD being assigned the back of Corral B (or whatever the first non-POT corral is) is exactly what appears to be occurring. And @fatmanatee is corroborating that as past experience as well.

    Springtime Surprise Weekend 2024 (April 18-21)

    Yep, I'm in agreement. Something is "different" about this data set than the last several that I've done the same exercise on (or at least my memory of them). Added to that the fact that I ran into more unassigned bibs when using the runner tracking system than I normally do. Again, just...

    Springtime Surprise Weekend 2024 (April 18-21)

    Here's the summarized information for you all. I'm going to be really curious on the Challenge bibs. There are several non-POT bibs in the 21xxx-23xxx range and yet Club runDisney Platinum are in 235xx-238xx range. Usually the CRD are slotted at the back end of the last POTs and placed in the...

    The following is from the runner tracking: Challenge - 7172 bibs (20001-27172) 10 miler solo - 7663 bibs (1-7663) 10k solo - 6605 (30001-36605) Total 10 mile bibs - 14835 bibs Total 10k bibs - 14268 bibs *As always, not all bib numbers are assigned (I ran into more non-assigned bibs than...

    Just be careful stringing together too many training plans without enough down time between them. Allowing the training load to drop is when you give yourself to make gains in the next one. If the plans are too similar or cover too long of a period of time collectively, that's when you reach...

    I won't give in till I reach the end... and then I'll start again (comments welcome)

    That's an utterly insane workout. One mile at Daniels I pace is insane unless you're a sub 5 min/mile runner. But then to do them uphill?!? Pure insanity. Honestly, I'm floored you were able to do 3 of them. I DEFINITELY couldn't even do one at the same relative paces and such. I mean even...
