Is exactly the same as Dopey training.
Well for heck’s sake if I’m doing the training anyway…
Think think think
29 more freakin weeks of training though. Ugh.
Run the mile you’re in?

Goofy is half and full? And Dopey is all four? Is that right?
Yeah. LOL I was looking at it today and I literally said, “That’s barely more than 9 miles more”

Isn’t how funny how relative it all becomes when you’re doing long distant running?!? On Sunday I ran 5 miles and I was like, “eh, I just ran 5 miles.” Before the full training, I would have been like, “heck yeah! I ran 5 miles!”
As far as your Goofy vs. Dopey pondering, I don’t think it’s the training that makes up your mind. I think it probably comes down to $$, time and whether one wants to wake up at that god awful hour of the morning FOUR DAYS IN A ROW.

Yep - adding the 5K & 10K is icing in the cake. 5 medals vs. 3! Clank, clank!
I ran the Dopey a few years ago. The kicker is getting up that early 4 days in a row. Plan to go to bed (or at least be in bed,) by 7 each evening.

I have heard that if you train for a Marathon, you basically are trained for the Dopey.
I have not looked at the Galloway plan, but the key is to do those back-to-back runs. That gets you used to running on fatigued legs.
Dopey. It is the way.
Yeah.
I have to figure out money and time off and stuff. Dopey itself is exponentially more expensive, and then it requires a much longer stay…
But I’m contemplating how I would strategize to minimize park time around the races and such so I’m already more than halfway there with deciding it’s a thing.

I just wish Springtime Surprise were at a better time of year…that race challenge sounds like a nice way to test the waters before going full Dopey.

Agree!
I seriously have NO IDEA how people do the multi race with full marathon challenges. Kudos to you guys! Unbelievable! I would try the springtime all 4 races but it was full when I booked. I feel like a wimp- 10 measly miles!
