Does anyone know the cost of Get Sports package that they are offering for Wine and Dine? Trying to avoid the getting a quote process.
I'm not sure what their price structure is for Wine & Dine, but when I used them for the inaugural Tink, it was cost of registration (what you would pay if you signed up through runDisney) plus a minimum of a two night booking through them. Since I needed a hotel anyway, it worked out quite well and the hotel reservation cost was the same as if I would have booked it on my own.
My plan was to do intervals for this race, so it's good to know that other people follow the same approach! The longest race I've done was 10 miles without taking walking breaks and I felt horrible after. I had to lift my legs into my car!
My goal for this run is to feel good enough at the end to enjoy the after party!
How strict are they on "certified". I've got a number of 10k's, and a couple of 10 milers, but only 1 course out of all of them was certified.
I do plan to run intervals in the race, though hopefully by then I can get my running intervals a little longer (still playing around with the timing). I definitely want to be able to enjoy myself at the post-race party and not be too sore/tired to walk around the parks the following day!
What walk/run intervals are you currently doing?
It seems like the majority of the races in our area are not certified, which I take to mean USATF certified. In the past, I thought RunDisney took the result as long as you posted a link to the results web page. I'm registered for 2 races right now through Active.com, but see no evidence that either is "certified".
I watched the video on the runDisney FB this morning where Galloway talks about the intervals. I feel like the translation of interval to pace per mile is pretty dependent on how fast you are actually running! I got a good laugh when it said that 8 min per mile was 4 min running, :30 walking. I'd have to be running a lot faster than 8:00 per mile for that to average that! At my freshest, when I am running, I am doing about 10:30-10:45 per mile. Or... I guess as I was typing that out, I realized... does that mean if 8 min per mile is your running speed than those should be your intervals? I think they didn't really make that very clear if that is so.
Maybe I will try reducing the intervals for my next long-long run (11.5 a week from tomorrow for Tink). I've pretty much just stuck to 5:00/1:00 because in my head I was supposed to be trying to get the intervals longer for more running. It takes me SO long to get through a long run, though, I'm so worried to do anything that will make it longer! My 10 mile run last Saturday took me 2:20:00.

Yes, he's saying if your average pace is an 8-minute mile, your interval should be 4/:30.
I run-walk, but I stick with what feels right for me. IMHO some of Galloway's intervals - especially his (I kid you not because I've "run" with him doing it) :15/:15 - ridiculous. I put run in quotes there because especially with his "shuffle into and shuffle out of a run" technique I honestly never felt like I was running - more just walking fast and faster.
I use anywhere from a 2/1 to a 5/1 (my walk is pretty much always 1) depending on training and how I'm feeling that day.
I'm a pretty slow runner; going for distance rather than speed. That being said, if I used his recommendation I'd be running 2 minutes walking 1. I kind of feel like I'd get annoyed with such short runs.Oh. My. Gosh. I thought the same thing... Before Dopey I was doing 4/1 and couldn't even get a 10 min mile pace. Crazy talk

For those who do the intervals, do you also use intervals on your short runs? I'm thinking I'll just do the short runs straight and start to use intervals for the long runs. Sometimes while I'm running I just want to zone out...keeping track of the intervals would require a lot of awareness on my part...
