Rise and Run

New York City doesn’t just host a marathon, it turns 26.2 miles into a full-body experience. We’re joined by Emily, Gretchen Rachael and Greg to unpack how this Abbott World Marathon Major actually feels from the inside: the Staten Island Ferry at sunrise, the overwhelming start village, the bridges you train for, and the moment the sound in Brooklyn gets so loud you can’t hear your own watch. Along the way, we talk real marathon training decisions, from coached plans to race-walk strategy, p...

They changed the Wine and Dine 5K and the ripple effects hit everything: corrals, character lines, course flow, and even the question nobody could stop asking… can you actually get swept? We’re sharing a full Rise and Run style weekend recap with the stuff you only catch when you’re there at 4 a.m., coffee in hand, watching three “separate races” unfold across one morning at Walt Disney World. We head straight into the Wine and Dine expo, where we talk bib pickup flow, merch availability, wh...

Five years ago we hit record with a simple idea: talk running, talk runDisney, and share a few stories. Somewhere along the way, it turned into something much bigger - a real community that trains together, laughs together, and shows up for each other on the hard days and the best days. To mark the fifth anniversary, we open the phone lines and tackle listener questions with our friend Brittany Charboneau. We get honest about motivation when your “why” disappears, how to let go of goals that...

Wine and Dine is almost here, and the combination of nerves, excitement, and last-minute “what if” questions is real. We talk through taper week decisions, how to think about weather in Orlando, and why hydration and fueling should start before you ever reach the corrals. We also dig into Marathon Weekend medals, what stands out, what feels a little too familiar, and why the small design details still end up meaning a lot once that medal is in your hands. Then runDisney race announcer John P...

A marathon on a treadmill sounds like a joke until the weather turns, the schedule collapses, and you still need the miles. We talk through the reality of late-cycle training as Wine & Dine gets closer, including how we handle pacing when humidity spikes, why long runs should follow a speed limit instead of a “prove it” pace, and what it looks like to protect sleep while still getting the work done. Greg shares a detailed breakdown of covering 26 miles indoors by splitting it into two ha...
