Booking My New RunDisney Vacation.
Booking a RunDisney race(s) can be a stressful thing.
Like the problem I had in 2017 for my first RunDisney race.
The 5K sold out in just 30 min and that was the race I wanted to do.
So I told myself if I can book my challenge pack before the bibs only sale starts, I will do that.
You can book it through a running vacation planner but I didn't wanted to do that, with a race weekend package you also get park tickets and I don't need that because I have a annual pass.
In November '18 you could book your challenge pack in combination with a Disney Hotel stay, if you did your booking through Disney itself.
Because I'm an annual passholder I get discounts on my hotel stay and on my challenge pack.
So it was November 15 and we could book our stay for race weekend.
It became a real thing now, I am going to book my 36K challenge and I will be a part of the Disney half marathon.
There are different kind of Disney Resort Hotels.
I really love Hotel Santa Fe but I wanted something special for this run weekend.
What kind of hotel do I want, the beautiful New Port Bay Hotel or the warm Sequoia Lodge Hotel.
For this runcation I chose Sequoia Lodge Hotel, my mom had never stayed there so that is special, the pool will be open after renovation plus in september the evenings are a bit colder and they have a big and beautiful fireplace.
It is going to be magical.
When I'm in Disney I often do a diner at New Port Bay "Cape Cod" it is nice and it has really good food, so this trip will have a diner at "Cape Cod".
I booked it for 4 nights with breakfast and on Sunday the last race day, half marathon day, I will drive home later that day.
New plans can start now, and how do I stay motivated till September 2019.
Some funruns maybe, or some virtual runs.
I knew I needed to train for a half marathon and maybe to do a half marathon race.
What am I going to do for the RunDisney race, race shirt, costume or disneybound style.
So much to think about, and so much to do.

The Jeff Galloway Method
The Jeff Galloway Method.
Who is Jeff Galloway and what kind of method is that?
*About Jeff Galloway:
John Franks (jeff) Galloway is an former Olympian, he did long distance running.
Jeff designed and experimented with the run-walk-run method in 1973, the real training program began in 1976, to help non runners to become runners.
It's a running method great for people who start to run, with strategic walk breaks to control fatigue and injuries, now a days not only beginners use this method but also experienced runners.
Since September 2, 2010 is Jeff Galloway the official RunDisney training consultant, in that time also the Disney's Series changed to RunDisney.
You can meet Jeff at the RunDisney Events.
*About the method:
Run-Walk-Run
It is really that, you will run abit, walk abit and you repeat that.
There are diffrent times you can run and walk.
That's perfect for a starter.
You can start the program on a 5 sec run and a 30 sec walk.
You can get the times up till you can run a 5k all the way, if that is what you want.
The runners that I know who are using this program run for 30-45 sec and walk for 30 sec.
You also can change the times for running and walking in your training plan.
If you feel that you need more you change your next run in 60 sec run 30 sec walk.
And so you can challenge yourself and find a great pace for your runs.
The training plan also gives you a time table so you can see if you do a 30 sec run and a 30 sec walk, how fast your mile is.
If you do the RunDisney races you need to do 1 mile in 16 min.
So you can train for it with the time table.
You can find the training program here:
https://www.rundisney.com/running-training-programs/
And that's it, it's a great way to get in to running and enjoy it.
Like me I don't want to run a 5K all the way, I want to enjoy my runs.
I think I'm still a slow runner (like Jen Lefforge told me ("no your not a slow runner, your just less fast"), so a little bit faster would be great.
I love to run a 5K in 35 min with the Jeff Galloway Method.
And I will be there but for now it's around 37/39, and that's ok.
I'm enjoying my runs and that is all that counts..
So find your training program and get your running shoes, Enjoy your run on your new journey.
Enjoy Your Running Journey.
Enjoy Your Run.
