MagicRun Training - 2 weeks before raceweekend

This week is a easy week because I didn't feel that great last Saturday.


Monday and Tuesday


Those days became extra rest days to get better, I didn't got the flu but more like a cold, I did go to work but that was the only thing I did.


Wednesday 9/4


I had some problems with my knees and feet, I don't know why because I didn't do any sport.
I also still had the cold so still no workout.


Thursday and Friday


Still not feeling 100% so still no workout for me, what kind of week is this going to be.
There is no way that I can do a training update for this week.
I got Lucky because the official MagicRun Guide came out so I could do something about that for the training update.
You can find the official guide here:

Saturday 9/7


Feeling ok again so I could do a workout on Sunday.
RunArnoRun already did a video about the official MagicRun Guide so I don't need to do that.

Sunday 9/8


Time to do a workout, still some breathing problems but I can do a workout.
Nothing special but it was nice to do something after a week of rest.


Here is the link to my week update with one workout:

MagicRun Training - 3 weeks before raceweekend



So this week didn't go as I hoped it would be but ok we got good and bad weeks.



Tuesday 8/27


Today I did a workout from Alexia Clark.
Was a nice one but I knew I would feel my legs with those squats.


Wednesday 8/28


Easy run day.
Easy run that was what I needed after the long run from last Sunday.


Run was 3.21K with a pace 8.26 per 1K.



Thursday and Friday

Restdays.


Saturday 8/31


It was a crosstraining day but I got a little sick while working on my fitness and hobby room.
So no workout today, got some extra sleep.


Sunday 9/1


Yep still not ok, I woke up with a bad head and a cold.
So no run today as planned.
Got to relax a while longer.


Not the week I was hoping for but ok.


Let see what we can do next week because it's only 2 weeks away from MagicRun Weekend.


Here you can find my training update on YouTube.

RunDisney Tag

I got RunDisney tagged by Running in Make-up, you can find her on instagram and YouTube.
Here is the link to her YouTube Channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSunzTicx9FqaNm30-j6LPA


There are 12 questions in this RunDisney Tag.


Here we go.


1. How did you first discover RunDisney?


I discovered RunDisney a long time ago but it was only in the USA.
In 2017 I was at the sportsbar in Disneyland Paris and there I discovered that Disneyland Paris also had RunDisney.
So there my running journey starts.


2. How many RunDisney races have you done?


I did one RunDisney race in Disneyland Paris and if you count the virtual runs with it than there are 3, the 4th is on it's way and that is the Black Panther 5K for August.


3. What was your favorite RunDisney race or race weekend?


It was my MagicRun RaceWeekend, I only did one race the 10K but I stayed there the whole weekend.


4. What's your favorite park to run through?


Disneyland Paris, it has Disneyland and Walt Disney Studios but it is so close together that it feels like you run through 1 big park.


5. What's your favorite RunDisney Medal?


The only one I got at this point and that is my MagicRun 10K medal from last year.
It's my panic and pain medal.


6. What's your favorite RunDisney shirt?


Also the only one I got and that is the one from the MagicRun 10K from last year.


7. What are 3 songs on your RunDisney playlist?


Run that Race - Dan Auerbach


Try Everything - Shakira
There is a line in this song that is my motto "I wanna try, even though I could fail".


Don't stop believin' - Journey
Always loved this song but than I saw a video by RezRuns, he is dancing and singing with is running buddy and now if I hear this song I Always thing about that video it's fun.
Here you can find that video: https://youtu.be/P_rJZlCU0V8


8. Do you go for a PR at a RunDisney race?


No I'm not a PR lady, I run for fun and I don't like to be totally out of breath, so I don't go for PR's on any race and certainly not on a RunDisney race.


9. Which characters do you Always stop for?


I like all characters so I don't have one I Always stop for, plus I only did one race and I told myself that I would stop for the first character that I saw, because I didn't know how long I had for the 10K plus I didn't know when I would be cut off.
My first character stop in a RunDisney race was Honest John and Gideon.


10. What's your favorite pre/post race meal?


Uhhh I eat everything I don't have something special to eat.
Normally on a training day (bad habit) I don't eat before the run, after the run I love to eat some toast with peanut butter but it could be something else.


11. Favorite costume in which you've run?


I didn't really run in a costume, I did more a Disney Bound style.
I had a Snow White legging and a orange nike shirt and I had a little Snow White from the Disney Animator's Collection on my shirt plus my new RunDisney cap that I got at the Expo.


12. Which costume are you most excited about running in?


I'm creating 3 costumes at the moment, for my 36K challenge in september.
I'm keeping the race theme in mind.
5K: Lion King.
10K: Fearless Princesses
21.1K: is a medal with Mickey and Minnie on it.


So just wait and you will see what I made for the races.
