Description

  I came, I saw, and I conquered the Dopey Challenge in Disney!  I still am in shock of what an amazingly magical experience this was!  If you would have told me that I would run 48.6 miles in 4 days and run a half marathon the day before a marathon and in that marathon, I would run a sub 3 hour and 45-minute marathon (coming within 4 minutes of my Marathon PR), I would have told you that you were crazy or in this case Dopey!!   I am grateful for this marathon journey I have been on for the past two years, and it is unbelievable how training cycles build on one another like compound interest!   I have so many lessons to share with you so you can make your next marathon or Dopey challenge a rewarding experience like I did and that is why I am sharing my story with you!   In this episode, I share my deep dive reflection on how I was able to have fun, feel strong, and run a fast marathon letting my fitness and durability show all while stopping for some character stops, waking up at 2:00am for 4 days in a row, and having to deal with some unexpected weather and bus challenges.   We at Spark Healthy Runner believe that a well-designed marathon training plan and race day strategy can be the key to unlocking your full potential as a runner.
