I took a look at the run disney site, and it looks like you may be using the marathon training plan that transitions you from the W&D Half for advanced runners?
I looked at my calendar and started counting backwards from week 10 of the plan (race sunday). By my count, you should be on week 2 of that plan.
Based on your comments, I assume you did week 3?
I did more mileage before the half and then made sure I spent time on my feet doing many more steps the day of the half so that my total mileage that day was high.
Yep
I was looking at my training plan today and it dawned on me…
We are six weeks out from bib pickup! 
I know crazy right!?! 
This x’s a million!
You’ve got this @FeatherYogi ! I like to tell myself when the miles seem to get unbearably hard, that the hard miles are exactly what the training is for. If it was all easy, then what’s the point of training. When I hit a wall and keep going, I tell myself, these are the miles that count the most (no matter how slow they are).
Keep up the great work! (Soo envious that you get to train in Central Park!) And as @Shellott_hill said, your victory lap is coming!!
Thanks but to get in the mules I went through some industrial areas in the Bronx too. Sadly the Central Park loop is only about 6 miles or so
Another long run weekend and it is 49 deg and raining all day today. Nope nope nope
I think the longest I’ve ever done on a treadmill is 5miles. Let’s see how this goes
Good luck on the dreadmill. That will be a true mental test. Hopefully you can find a distraction to make the time go quicker.
It looks like we are getting a high of 33 here today. I will try to time my long run for the warmest part of the day. Yesterday was 1.5 hours to tire my legs out for the 2.5 hours today.
I am just happy it is not snowing! 
How did it go?
Not too cold?
With YouTube videos and podcasts I survived for 23 miles and then had my slightly over mile walk to the subway.
23 dreadmilll miles??
That is BEAST mode!!
I did get off and walk around the space a bit too. And actually lay on my back a couple times with feet in the air for a minute. I think I may do that on the park benches during the marathon. I think it helped the plantar fasciitis to just get off my feet a couple times.
Congrats! That is definately next level mind control. There is no way i could have done 23 miles today.
I just got in from my run. Just squeaked it in before I lost all the sun 
. I did nowhere near the miles you did today. I squeaked out 15.8 miles in 2.5 hours. It felt good to finish. Training on tired legs is a real mother$%^&@.
I was looking at the rundisney website today hoping they would release the dif8tal expo guide, but no go. The front page had the countdown timer on it…we are 30 days in a couple hours away!!!
Nice job!
And omg so close and soooo far
Amazing Job!! You are going to CRUSH it on race day!
That’s some serious good time, especially impressive on tired legs.
I know you have posted this on other threads, but what plan to you use for your Dopey training?
I use a plan that i had help building with DopeyBader over on DisBoards about 3-4 years ago. It is a five day a week plan that incorporates 2 days of speed work (intervals and marathon tempo), 2 days of slower runs (Easy A and Easy B), and then a long run on Sundays.
It is a riff on the Hal Higdon style of running. They beauty of the plan is that it works no matter what your speed is. It just requires you to time a distance and it will then give you your pacing for all the different runs.
I also modified it to be a 22 week plan instead of 18. My old bones need a little more time to get to the peak training week.
I am just boarding a flight. Let me know if you want an explanation of any of the abbreviations and or speed calculations.
Thanks! No rush, but what are EA and EB? LR is long run, yes? I like a 22-week plan too. That’s what I’ve done for all my full trainings. I like that it gives room to have a couple of drop-down weeks and gives some cushion for things like traveling, illness and weather.
I am toying with idea of Dopey for 2025, but I may just do the full again. It’s not so much the miles, but more of the waking up early four day in a row. 
Is there a training plan for that?
Easy A (EA) would be 20% slower than your marathon pace.
Easy B (EB) would be 12% slower than your marathon pace.
I calulate my marathon pace by either: seeing what i did in the marathon, or by using the formula…
'T2=T1 x (D2/D1)^r
I use rigel for the r factor of 1.06
T1 is the time you ran, D1 is the distance you ran, and D2 is the distance you want to estimate your T2 for.
As for doing Dopey…
If you can do a marathon, you can do Dopey. The training is not much different. You go this! You can do it!!!
That is too much math for this liberal arts major turned attorney. 
But I get what you mean by the % slower than marathon pace . . . I’ll probably just guestimate it and eye-ball it.
I’ve got several months to contemplate it . . . and I will. If I decide to do it, be ready for all my questions. 
I can do the calculations for ya.
