Episode Synopsis

Ever wonder what goes on in the minds of your favorite Rise and Run Podcast hosts? Episode 185 pulls back the curtain as we answer your specific questions about our individual journeys, preferences, and experiences.The conversation takes us deep into what makes each host unique in their approach to Disney running. Jack explains why ultramarathons and runDisney challenges scratch different itches despite both being "fun runs". Bob shares his transformative experience at the 2016 Wine and Dine Half Marathon when, at 62, he completed his first runDisney race in nearly three decades with a smile that never faded.We get personal as hosts reveal their favorite Disney characters and attractions, with Alysha struggling to choose between Dopey and Kevin from Up, and John confessing his lifelong admiration for Darth Vader. Greg takes us to Aulani, describing how the resort's authentic cultural elements create a uniquely meaningful Hawaiian experience.The conversation turns practical as we discuss our biggest race mistakes and the lessons they taught us. From hydration failures to loose shoes causing blisters, these hard-earned insights might save you from similar pitfalls. We also look ahead, contemplating where we'll be with runDisney in five to ten years.Perhaps most touching are the stories of magical race moments – Bob pushing his friend Woody through an entire half marathon while wearing a walking boot, and Jack's emotional experience as a Galloway pacer watching runners achieve personal records. These moments remind us why we keep coming back to the Disney parks time after time.Join us for this uniquely personal episode that strengthens the bonds of our Rise and Run family.
