Custom runDisney Training
Your runDisney Roadmap is a personalized training experience designed around your life, your goals, and your race, so you can arrive at the start line feeling prepared and ready to enjoy every magical mile.
Why a Custom runDisney Training Plan?
Every runner arrives at the start line with a different story.
Some are preparing for their very first race, while others are chasing their first challenge weekend.
Some are balancing training with shift work, young children, or demanding careers.
Others are taking on the Dopey Challenge and wondering how to prepare for four consecutive race mornings.
The problem is that most training plans weren't written with your life in mind, and that’s where I come in.
I create personalized runDisney training plans designed around your schedule, your goals, and your experience so you can train with confidence not guesswork.
This is for you if...
✓ You're running your first runDisney event.
✓ You're tackling a challenge weekend like the Wine & Dine Challenge or Dopey Challenge.
✓ You want a plan built around your work and family schedule.
✓ You prefer a run/walk approach. I write plans using continuous running or run/walk.
✓ You don't need ongoing coaching. You simply want a thoughtful plan you can trust.
✓ You want guidance from someone who understands what makes runDisney unique.
Your Personalized runDisney Roadmap
Step 1: Tell Me About You
Every custom plan begins with a detailed runner profile. We’ll talk about:
• your race goals
• work schedule
• preferred running days
• previous races
• injury history
• strength & cross training
• life outside of running
This helps me understand not just the race you're training for but the runner you are.
Step 2: Let’s Build Your Plan
I'll review your questionnaire and build the framework for your training.
If we need to fine-tune the details, we'll connect over Zoom to make sure your plan fits your life before it's finalized.
Step 3: Receive Personalized Plan
You'll receive more than a calendar.
Your runDisney Roadmap will include:
✓ customized training calendar
✓ pacing guidance
✓ fueling & hydration how-to
✓ race-specific notes
✓ challenge weekend strategy
Meet Your runDisney Coach
My RunDisney journey began in 2016 when I convinced my mom and my mother-in-law to train for our very first half marathon together. Crossing that finish line was magical, but what happened the next morning changed everything.
As we waited for the bus back to the airport, I watched marathon runners returning to our resort wearing their medals. I remember thinking, I wonder if I could do that someday.
"Someday" arrived just two years later when I completed my first marathon during runDisney Marathon Weekend in 2018.
Since then, I've returned to WDW for races during Wine & Dine, Marathon Weekend, and Springtime Surprise, experiencing joy and fun and meeting new and old friends along the way. I love the unique combination of community, Disney magic, and personal accomplishment that makes every runDisney weekend unforgettable.
As both a running coach and a pediatrician, I understand what it's like to balance big goals with a busy life. I've helped first time runDisney runners and returning fans to train by creating personalized training plans that fit their schedules while preparing them for the unique demands of runDisney races.
Whether you're dreaming of your first finish line or taking on a multi-race challenge, I'll help you train with confidence so you can enjoy every magical mile.
