I Survived running 48.6 miles at the DIsney Marathon weekends 10th Dopey Challenge anniversary. This included running a 5k, 10k, half and marathon back to back. This was the hardest physical challenge I've ever done.

I signed up for RunDisney's Dopey Challenge, but I need to lose 30lbs and only have 28 weeks to do it. This is running the Disney Half Marathon, Marathon, 10k and 5k in 2023. I also have to do this around my life, and I got pulled off the course last year...

I know I am just a stranger who will never meet you, but just know that I am proud of you. I have been following your training journey and the fact that you stuck with your training plan is extremely impressive. I very much enjoyed watching you reach your goal. I understand that you aren't planning on running Goofy again but if you do, please continue to film your progress, I will be here to watch. Amazing job!

Thank you so much!! I plan to continue physical challenges to focus on my health. I really appreciate you watching my journey and Thank you for all the positive and kind words. I normally don't stick to routines, so you all keeping me accountable truly helped me

Congratulations!!!! Your videos have been so inspiring to me. I’m just thrilled that your good vibes are returning to you. I really am so excited to see what’s next for you. We had a similar journey in that I am also 40 years old, a mom, and lost 12-ish pounds for this marathon. I’m training for next years WDW marathon…. Even though I said I wouldn’t. I just can’t seem to help myself. Also, I love that you highlighted your marathon strategy in this video. I think that is also some thing that gets very overlooked.

I’ve done all the Disneyland runs (I am from California) and running the WDW was my goal! This is my 3rd marathon. But honestly I was so surprised how many ppl were doing the dopey challenge! I would have never guessed it. Actually to be honest I was so focused on getting into the marathon.. I didn’t know what any of the challenges consisted of. Getting your perspective is appreciated. I felt great the day after the marathon and my training sucked! I kinda wish the marathon came first then work your way down to the half, 10k, 5k. Anyways Congrats!!! Watching this video got me a step closer to considering running dopey one day. I hope to one day be on dope to be dopey crazy like many of you guys!

@Matt_Bod Жыл бұрын

Thank you everything you said means a lot. I encourage you to give it a try, but the training is critical. That to me is the hardest part. I agree I wish it went in reverse order because I can push through a 10 with leg pain much easier than 26 miles. Congrats on your 3rd marathon!! That is impressive. I want to do another marathon some day just to ride the rides along the way. I have to get a much faster pace though.

Just an FYI for future reference, you can get swept from the 5K. You do have to be really, really slow, but I have witnessed them sweep them when I volunteered for one of the 5Ks a few years ago. Congratulations! My sister & I did the 5K & my best friend & I did the marathon. I have no drive or desire to do Goofy or Dopey and I'm not sure if I ever want to run another marathon. If I could go out there and do it without training, I might, but I can't and to train properly it just takes way too much time. I'm glad I have done a marathon once though.

@Matt_Bod Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I will have to make sure to not get swept in the 5k. I like doing the race day but the training is always a grind. My wife asked me today why I sign up for them because i always complain during the training 😂.

@@rutherke41well I had a really good qualifying time so I was already starting up with the elites which was roped off in the top half of the A coral, but even if you’re able to qualify in the A coral which a good amount of people did, you still shouldn’t have much trouble with congestion. It’s a really wide road and the fastest among us will separate from the rest of the pack pretty quickly so they won’t be in the way
