  • THE runDisney Podcast

    Rise and Run is THE podcast for all things runDisney. The hosts knock it out of the park every single week and the guests they bring onto the show are always helpful and inspiring. If you’re training for a runDisney race (or any race really), or you thinking about signing up for one… start listening to this podcast immediately!

  • Best motivational podcast for Disney Run training (and fans)

    Found this podcast a year ago and Bob and the gang have become part of my regular running practice, brining laughter, inspiration, insights, and a community that really supports anyone with training goals (helps if you love Disney parks too!)

  • Awesome Episode

    Since I tend to do things quickly or so I’ve been told, I wanted to get the first review of Episode 200, it was a range of emotions. Inspirational, funny, reflective, and most importantly it was like being at a family reunion. Congrats

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

267: Race Reports from the Big Apple: NYC Marathon Weekend Recap
Q: After running Chicago and winning the Wine and Dine two weeks later, what's your advice for runners about recovery, trusting their fitness and not overthinking the race day?
Sean recommends trusting accumulated fitness, taking rest days, listening to the body, getting enough sleep and staying consistent with training.
267: Race Reports from the Big Apple: NYC Marathon Weekend Recap
Q: What did you follow for a training program for this race? Did you have a trainer? Did you have a coach? Did you just take the Galloway plan for the marathon and use that? How did it go?
The runners describe using a coached strength-and-running plan, a race-walking program and customized or modified Galloway plans, depending on their circumstances.
264: John Pelkey Start Line Magic and St. Jude Motivation
Q: Do you think that we mature runners need to take a different approach to our training than our younger counterparts here?
Pelkey says stamina has exceeded his expectations, but he now prioritizes avoiding injuries and overtraining because recovery takes longer with age. He also recommends getting properly fitted running shoes.
264: John Pelkey Start Line Magic and St. Jude Motivation
Q: What's new this time around in the training cycle?
Pelkey has replaced exclusive treadmill training with weekly outdoor runs alongside Jen and Ryan. He finds running with people better for his mental approach, while adapting to Florida heat, uneven pavement, pacing, and fueling has been a major learning experience.
265: Rise and Run at Five: The Magic That Built This Community
Q: What should everyday runners look for if they want a little extra edge and performance, and are there any particular shoes that you might suggest trying?
Charboneau says every major brand offers competitive carbon-plated shoes, but runners should first address form, strength, fueling and injuries. Once those fundamentals are in place, she suggests trying a carbon-plated model from a brand whose regular shoes already suit the runner.
