Whether you're supporting a loved one or just want to be part of the magic, we're sharing our personal tips on the "who, what, when, where, and why" of cheering.

This episode of One More Run, the Podcast is all about the ULTIMATE Disney vacation combo: runDisney and Disney Cruise Line! We're joined by the "DCL Duo," Brian and Sam—Disney Cruise Line experts, fellow podcasters and friends—to help you navigate the logistics of combining a runDisney race weekend with a Disney cruise. * DCL Experts: As always, we'll get to know Brian and Sam through a fun round of "Would You Rather," where they weigh in on everything from our standard Main Street vs medal question to the best embarkation day snacks on a Disney cruise. * Vacation Strategy: We'll ask them for tips for choosing the right cruise length and itinerary to complement a runDisney race weekend without burning out. * Avoiding Pitfalls: They give us some advice on whether to cruise before or after the race and how to prioritize relaxation over "doing it all." * The Good & The Bad: And we take a quick-hit look at why this "race-cation" is the ultimate reward, along with the honest realities of cost and packing logistics. Whether you're looking for that post-race relaxation, wondering which of the Disney Cruise Line ships you should be considering or even if you've never considered going on a Disney cruise, this episode is so run and entertaining.  Be sure to check out the DCL Duo Podcast [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dcl-duo-podcast-a-disney-cruise-line-fan-podcast/id1501550336] and follow them on all the things.

Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend is right around the corner, and we're here to try and help take some of the stress out of it! In this episode, we're diving into two confusing (but important!) parts of a runDisney weekend: transportation and PhotoPass. From how the provided runDisney bus schedule works to how to get great race photos—we're sharing everything we've learned from doing this a few (okay… many) times. If you're gearing up for an upcoming runDisney race—especially Marathon Weekend—this one is for you. Also, we'd love some help coming up with topics for future episodes of the show. If you have any ideas, feel free to email us at hello@ajanderika.com

In this episode, we're walking through exactly what our runDisney race weekends look like from start to finish. If you're heading into your first race weekend — or you just need some ideas for a smoother, less-stressful experience than last time — this is truly the episode we wish we had when we started. We also catch up with our friend Trevor, who's training for his very first half marathon at Disney! He shares what's surprised him, what's working, and what he's learned during his training process Whether you're a first-timer or looking to fine-tune how you spend your time on a runDisney race weekend, this episode is packed with some schedule suggestions, helpful tips, and real moments (including a few emotional ones). We hope it helps you feel confident, prepared, and way less stressed heading into your next runDisney weekend. Let's do this!

In this bonus episode, we're recapping AJ's experience running the 2025 Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon in Atlanta— a cold and hilly race that still delivered some unforgettable moments. We talk about the Triple Peach Race Series, the challenging elevation, the best parts of the course, and how Hollarhype messages from friends and family completely transformed the run. If you're curious about Atlanta races, the Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon vibe, or how this compares to runDisney events, this quick recap is for you.

This episode is a special one — and honestly, probably the one we all need right now as the weight of training and life gets heavier and heavier. We had the most unbelievable honor of sitting down with Kristen from RunningInMakeup, someone many of you know and love from her incredible youtube channel, her creative costumes, and her genuine presence in the runDisney community. During our conversation, she opened up about what this year has looked like behind the scenes, why she's stepping back from filming marathon this year, and how she's learning to put her own "oxygen mask" on first. We talk about losing joy, finding it again, balancing real-life struggles, and the courage it takes to show up for yourself. It's SO good. If you're in the thick of marathon training, feeling tired, discouraged, distracted or feeling like you're the only one struggling — this episode is for you. We hope it reminds you that you're not alone, that running can be its own form of therapy, and that sometimes you need to take a look in the mirror and remind yourself of why you're doing this. Kristen has inspired us, we're so grateful and now even MORE excited for Marathon Weekend… and we can't wait for you to hear it.  If you're not already subscribed to her YouTube Channel [https://www.youtube.com/@RunningInMakeup]or following her Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/runninginmakeup], make that a priority... you'll be glad you did!  https://www.youtube.com/RunningInMakeup [https://www.youtube.com/@RunningInMakeup] https://www.instagram.com/runninginmakeup

Running can be one of the most rewarding things we do — but also one of the hardest. In this brutally honest episode, we open up about the emotions, self-doubt, and struggles that come with training and race day. We talk about the different ways our personalities shape how we run, why we run, what motivates us, and how we both face those "I don't want to" moments. If you've ever questioned whether you belong, you've felt like you're not a "real" runner or maybe you just hear to know that you're not alone — this episode is dedicated to you. Plus, stay turned to the end for a conversation with friends who just finished their first runDisney race at Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend and share what the experience was like.

We're back with another bonus race recap, this time sharing our experience running the Silver Comet Half Marathon— a fast, flat fall race just outside Atlanta, Georgia. This one was extra special: it was the 25th anniversary of the Silver Comet Half. We talk about what makes this event unique, how it felt to chase new PRs (personal records), and what we loved (and didn't love) about running this USATF certified half marathon with a small-race vibe.

If you're thinking about running the Silver Comet Half Marathon or looking for a great proof-of-time race for runDisney, this episode is packed with honest insights, laughs, and lessons from the course.
