πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ SUNDAY LONG RUN TRAINING πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ
πŸ“… September 13

πŸ“ 4 Mile Creek Greenway
5803 Bevington Place β€’ Charlotte, NC

Alright, Marathon Weekend crew… Sunday’s RunDisney training plan has us scheduled for a very reasonable 3 miles.

And naturally, some of us looked at that and thought:

β€œThree? That’s adorable.” πŸ˜‚

So we’re making Sunday a mixed bag of miles depending on what your training plan calls for and how questionable your life choices are feeling that morning. πŸ˜‰

πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ HERE’S THE PLAN:

πŸ•” 5:00 AM β€” Early Crew
We’ll meet at the greenway and head out for 4 miles.

πŸ•• 6:00 AM β€” Round 2
Back out for another 4 miles, bringing those joining from 5 AM to 8 miles.

πŸ•– 7:00 AM β€” Marathon Weekend Crew
Meet up with the group and complete your 3 miles according to the RunDisney Marathon Weekend training plan.

At around the 1.5-mile turnaround (let’s be honest it’s 2miles to the bathroom!), those doing the scheduled 3 miles will turn around and head back.

For the rest of us?

Well… apparently 3 miles wasn’t enough suffering. πŸ˜‚

We’ll continue on with the goal of hitting 20 miles by the end of the morning.

So choose your adventure:

πŸƒ 3 miles β€” following the plan
πŸƒ 8 miles β€” early-bird special
πŸƒ 11 miles β€” because why not?
πŸ”₯ 20 miles β€” because apparently we have things to prove

🚨 IMPORTANT: THIS IS AN UNSUPPORTED RUN

There will be no official aid station, so you are responsible for taking care of YOU.

πŸ’§ Bring plenty of water & electrolytes
🍌 Bring your fuel/food
πŸš— Keep extra supplies in your car for restocking
πŸ”¦ Lights are REQUIRED for the 5 AM & 6 AM starts

It will be DARK. Like β€œwhy did we think 5 AM was a good idea?” dark. πŸ˜‚
Please wear/use lights and make sure you’re visible.

🚻 There are restrooms along the route, but they may not be open when we get there, so plan accordingly.

⏱️ RUNNING PLAN

πŸƒ Expected pace: 13:00–13:30 per mile
⏱️ Run/Walk: 20 seconds running / 30 seconds walking
πŸ” We’ll use this ratio ALL MORNING

Come prepared, come fueled, come hydrated, and preferably come with a friend who can confirm that you really did agree to this.

Because Sunday’s agenda is simple:

RUN. WALK. EAT. DRINK. REPEAT. πŸ˜‚

And if somewhere around mile 15 you start questioning every decision that brought you here…

Congratulations. You’re doing marathon training correctly. 😏

See you Sunday! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ”₯

Before we get into September, a few important notes about how Sunday Runday works! πŸ‘‡

πŸ“š OUR TRAINING MILES

Our β€œtraining miles” are following the Jeff Galloway training plan for Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend.

The mileage listed is a suggestion/recommendation based on that training plan β€” it is NOT a requirement! πŸ’™

Run the miles that fit your training, your goals, and your body. Whether you’re training for Disney Marathon; D***y, Chicago, Detroit, another race, another distance, or simply running because you love it β€” come join us!

πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ RUN β€’ WALK β€’ RUN

Each of our meetups utilizes the Galloway Run-Walk-Run method.

Our typical intervals will be:

πŸƒ Run 20–30 seconds
🚢 Walk 20–30 seconds
πŸ” Repeat until the planned time/distance is completed.

When deciding which loop or meetup works best for you, pay attention to the total distance and the amount of time planned for that loop.

For example:

➑️ 4 miles in a 1-hour window = approximately a 14-minute/mile overall pace.

That doesn’t mean every runner will be running at a 14-minute pace. The run/walk intervals, elevation, weather, group dynamics, and individual effort will all affect the final pace.

Some runs will be faster.
Some will be slower.
And that’s completely okay! ❀️

The goal is to get the time and training completed together, not to race the Sunday Run.

πŸ’§ COME PREPARED!

Our Sunday Run routes are unsupported courses, so please plan accordingly.

πŸ’§ BRING WATER!
πŸ’§ Bring whatever hydration/fueling you need for your planned distance.
πŸ’§ Know your limits and make adjustments when necessary.

And with the upcoming time change and darker mornings, we STRONGLY recommend β€” and for the early runs, practically mandate πŸ˜‰ β€” that everyone bring:

πŸ”¦ Running lights/headlamps
✨ Reflective gear
πŸ’‘ Visibility gear

Let’s make sure we’re seen while we’re getting those miles in!

❀️ Grateful for This Running Crew! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

What a morning! We started at 0’dark thirty with 4 miles in the thick humidity πŸ₯΅πŸ’¦, and then watched our crew grow as more friends joined us for the second loop.

Together, we knocked out another 6 miles and completed the 10 miles needed for today’s training run! πŸ’ͺπŸŽ‰

But honestly, the miles are only part of what makes these mornings so special. I’m incredibly thankful for every person who shows up, puts in the work, encourages someone else, and makes this group what it is. ❀️

The miles may challenge us, but the friendships, conversations, laughs, and breakfast afterward make it all worth it! β˜•οΈπŸ³πŸ˜‚

Thank you to everyone who got up early, ran a loop (or two!), encouraged a friend, and shared part of your Saturday morning with us. I’m grateful for each and every one of you! 🫢

Next week it’s time for the Around the Crown 10K on Sunday! 🏁

Here’s to the miles ahead, the memories we’re making, and the people we get to share them with. ❀️

Run together. Encourage each other. Celebrate every mile.

β˜€οΈ Another successful meeting of the minds! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈβ˜•οΈ

We tackled just under 8 miles today in a little 2-loop adventure!

πŸ”Ή Loop 1: 3.5 miles of 20:30 run:walk intervals β€” because we’re nothing if not committed to the run-ish lifestyle. πŸ˜‚

πŸ”Ή Loop 2: 4.25 miles of conversational walking, deep thoughts, and contemplating some very important life choices… like WHERE DOES THIS GREENWAY ACTUALLY END?! πŸ€”

Fun fact: IT KEEPS GOING. πŸ˜‚πŸŒ³

Because apparently we needed to discover that the hard way (and yet we also didn’t get to the end of the greenway!)

And obviously, the only appropriate way to end a Sunday gathering after nearly 8 miles is coffee + breakfast + more conversation. β˜•οΈπŸ³

Another Sunday in the books! ❀️
