    Honestly Karen I’m so proud of you for running the Disney marathons.. especially by yourself that’s such an amazing achievement! I used to go with my brother as support for the Disney marathons and it was such an emotional experience for us. Especially being that Disney was our family place growing up. I wish I could try to run again someday ( my chronic illnesses have made it harder lately) but I hope to get back into it someday. Best of luck with your marathon this year!! ❤

    This was super helpful, thank you so much!! First time commenting but I actually found your channel after your WDW marathon video last year! I discovered it around the time I signed up for this year’s marathon! It’ll be my first marathon ever and I’m a nervous solo runner so I really needed this video today! 😀

    I’m running this one too. And your last years video has gotten me through a lot of fear and self doubt. Thank you.

    Congratulations on the race this! I also did Everest during the marathon and it was sooo cool! Good luck next year! I will be running at Disneyland, so no marathon for me, makes me sad but also relieved haha

    I ran a disney 5k some years ago. It's certainly not like a marathon but it was exciting. It was all about the medal😊 There is something about running though, I agree with you it's emotional partly because it's a personal accomplishment but such a buddy sport. Total strangers are not strangers at all when you're all in it together. The energy you can draw from the crowd is amazing too. I'll be thinking about you and you'll be Great! I really enjoy going on your trips with you and Rachael and your Mom and Dad when they're along. Merry Christmas to you all🎄🌴

    • @KarenBee
      @KarenBee  7 місяців тому +1

      haha ye the medals are so cute! It really is, the runners high is definitely real! Exactly it really feels like everyone is in it together and especially at Disney I've found everyone so supportive! So glad you're enjoying the videos!

    Well done you! So proud of you, and wish you all the best for this coming run. It’s amazing to be able to compete any run, especially on your own. It’s very uncomfortable doing anything amongst a large group of strangers. 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃 Hope you enjoy this one more.

    • @KarenBee
      @KarenBee  7 місяців тому

      Aw thank you! Ye it was definitely a more challenging thing to do solo but also more rewarding in the same way!

    Good luck Karen and I will see you at the starting line! Such a useful vlog, it’s getting so close now. My training was going quite well but full of cold the last week with a bad chest so feeling a little nervous now but RunDisney are all about enjoying yourself rather than a time x

    • @KarenBee
      @KarenBee  7 місяців тому

      Ah so exciting Emily! I've had a cold this past week as well but definitely just rest up and trust your training you'll be totally fine! Better to get sick now than next month! YES definitely it's all about enjoying it!

    So excited to see this video pop up - I’ve been thinking about you and wondering how your training was going!! I actually re-watched your marathon videos from this year earlier this week.
    Sounds like you have some solid plans! If you need the pacing chart, I can send it to you once it’s posted…not sure if you’re on Facebook but the guy that organizes the Galloway pacers groups will post the chart in some of the Facebook groups I’m in.
    Will we see you there in 2025?? 🤪
    EDIT: also I am so glad that meeting up beforehand was not one of your problems, when you said the issues started before the race I was like “uh-oh, she won’t want to meet up again!” 😂

    • @KarenBee
      @KarenBee  7 місяців тому +1

      Aw Shannon I'm sad I won't be seeing you there this year! Oh I'm in one of the groups and saw they posted the pacer chart in there last year (but only saw it recently) - do ping it over if you see it, that'd be helpful! YES 2025 girl let's do it! Hahaha no that was not a problem, me being disorganised was a problem though lol

    • @shannymac484
      @shannymac484 7 місяців тому

      @@KarenBee yes I will let you know when I see the pacer chart!
      I’m bummed I won’t be there this time too! We’re thinking Dopey for 2025 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ I haven’t been running a ton this year so I’m starting from scratch but I’m excited (and like, determined to have better experience compared to this year). Can’t wait to hear how the race goes for you!!

    You aren't kidding about the amount of steps you take before and after the race getting to the start from your car, and then back again. My daughter and I just ran the 2024 5K race, and her Apple watch added up all our walks, and including 3.1 miles we ran....we went 7.8 miles that morning all together.

    • @KarenBee
      @KarenBee  6 місяців тому

      Ye it’s pretty wild how far away it is either side of the race! I definitely felt it after the marathon!!

      No it's been around for as long as I remember! I know they do shut it off for runners after a certain time though.

  • @melissaroush

    I am super nervous but like you concerned about clock time. My goal is to do Everest what time do I need to be there to ride comfortably? I am so confused with the waves since I don’t know my corral.

    • @KarenBee
      @KarenBee  6 місяців тому

      It’s so hard to say without knowing the corrals - I found out online the name of one of the balloon ladies last year (the people right at the back that set the required pace) and I just made sure I had a good gap between myself and them before deciding - I think I had 25mins or so but completely depends on your pace and your confidence in keeping under the 16min for he remainder of the race - I wasn’t confident I could do that hence I wanted a larger gap to ride
