Episode 120 Slow Runners Stopping for Character Stops at Disney Marathon runDisney Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle you’ll learn how to be fast enough for photo stops at runDisney races like the Disney Marathon. 

On average runners typically wait 5 minutes or less for character stops during the race and one runner waited for about 30 character stops during the Marathon. 

Strategize how many characters you want to stop for, how long you’re willing to wait, which characters are a must stop at, and know your pacing. 

When you know your pacing you know how your body reacts when you hit a certain pace. If you run too fast and need to walk to recover, if you take too long to recover does that negate all the fast pace you made up and should have just ran a little slower? You don’t want to burn out.

Hi! I’m Ali. I’ve been in the health and wellness space since graduating with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2012. I worked in the typical outpatient clinic with active men and women with orthopedic injuries (shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, muscle and ligament tears, knee pain, IT Band pain, plantar fasciitis, and hip and knee arthritis until 2018 at which point I started Mobile Physical Therapy in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the past few years I’ve transitioned to helping women running runDisney races after they’ve had an injury and they want to finish strong and enjoy the rest of their runcation.
