Training for the Disney Marathon: July

Welcome back to this monthly edition of prepping for the Disney marathon. Last month I did 5 runs which isn’t quite enough for the training plan or the actual marathon. Did I improve or fall off the wagon some more? Here are my counts. 

7/1/24.   2.12 miles.    33:06. Total 15:33 pace

7/4/24.   2.18 miles.   34:54 total.  15:57 pace

7/7/24.   3.01 miles.    50:07 total.   16:37 pace

7/10/24.  2.06 miles.  35:41. Total.  17:16 pace

7/21/24.  2.02 miles.   33:31.  Total. 16:32 pace

7/24/24. 1.94. Miles.   32:10. Total.   16:34 pace

7/28/24. 4.01 miles.   1:04:36 total.  16:05 pace

A little bit better than last month with 7 runs. With running on top of walking at work has me starting to lose weight. I have been trying to lose it as quickly as possible to help my pace pick up. I still am in the 15-17 pace range which means I will be running/WALKING for a LONG TIME on race day. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 hours. I will be running and walking with my brother and father so that is the pace we wanted to pace ourselves at. It’s going to be a long day for sure I could probably push into a higher pace for myself, but I do want to experience this with my family. I will try and get faster in my next marathon, depending on how this one goes. I’m a bit scared for race day but I will get it done.
