2 p.m. seemed to work pretty well this year, so we'll probably stick with that.

I'm a long time lurker of this site but first time poster. I've got a question for the more experienced runners out there. I signed up for my first marathon during the 2018 WDW weekend (I also signed up for the 5k because I'm hardcore like that) and I just started training this week using the Jeff Galloway program that's posted on the RunDisney site. The only modification I made is I've been running three miles on Tuesday & Thursday instead of the 30 minutes it suggests. My concern is that during the three mile runs I'm averaging a pace of 14:09/mile and I have no clue as to what my average should be. I realize it's just the beginning and all, but I'm just not sure where I should be at during each week as far as average mile/minute to stay under that 16:00/mile average come race day. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately, this will be my first race so I wasn't able to submit a PoT when registering and I don't have anything scheduled either so I'm sure I'll be in one of the last corrals. I wasn't pushing myself too hard this week so I'm confident my time will get better. I was hoping to find a training calendar out there that listed what my time per mile should be every week but no luck.

Hi all!
Just introducing myself
I've been lurking recently since booking a family holiday to Orlando that has a week in WDW with the marathon weekend in the middle of our stay. We're bringing our 4 and 7 year old boys along to the first trip to Disney, I'm doing the marathon and my wife is registered to do the half. We might do some of the kids dashes too.
I've been catching up on the various threads around here that have so much useful information for planning the trip, and I'm catching up on a load of the reports from last year etc. I'm finding planning a week in WDW including a couple of races a baffling ordeal between figuring out which parks to do on which day, ADRs, recovering from the races, etc. but the experiences and knowledge shared on these boards is super helpful
A small bit of running background. I've been running for about 3 years after experiencing a classic mid-life crisis existential crisis (i.e. putting on weight and some illness) prompted me to try to get myself somewhat in shape and I've ended up really enjoying running. I finished my first marathon in 2015 and dropped miserably out of one in 2016 (I picked up an injury a 3 weeks out disrupting my training, got a cold a few days prior and went out a small bit faster than I'd trained for - with predictable results). 2017 is all about training consistently and improving. I was considering doing a marathon late on in 2017 when we got the crazy idea to bring the boys to WDW and participate in the Marathon Weekend. Even though it's still 6 months out it feels a lot closer due to all the planning and booking, and of course the minor task of training for a marathon is looming!
I've joined the DISboards Strava community and am looking forward to learning more about running around WDW on these forums! Hope everybody's training and planning is going well!
