I Will Be Running A Half Marathon & Have Some Serious Doubts On If I’ll Finish - Old & Out Of Shape

[@creatorwarp]

Run Forest Run! You can do this brother!

[@thegerm574]

Adam as a lifetime runner my advice would be to 1st get off the treadmill and hit the road. Always run away from your home and never do laps. When you do laps or a treadmill you can stop at anytime. Run 6.5 miles from home if you can’t run back it forces you to walk back. Tampa Jay has my #. Good luck.

Sincere advice: See a doctor. Get a physical and basic bloodwork. At age 49, that kind of serious training needs to be backed up with personal health knowledge (Blood pressure, blood sugar, kidney and liver function, cholesterol). From one older guy to another -- please trust me on this.

[@KR-sh6rm]

The first step is a complete physical and EKG. Seriouslly!

[@marysalmon2367]

Very excited for your journey. i've been running for 40 plus years, done a lot of long races, many on trails. As others have said, you do need to run outside, as the energy return on the treadmill helps you, and running outside will feel different. One major plus to the treadmill is the incline, even if the race is flat, work in some "hills" because they are great leg strengtheners. What's really kept me running is yoga, and it does not have to take a lot of time. 15 minute sessions with yoga with Adrienne and your joints will thank you. good luck, you got this!

Your journey has been very inspiring. I'm basically half your age (27), but yet I'm extremely out of shape as well. I'm working on what I like to call a "lifestyle change" as well (I hate the term diet) where I'm counting my calories and working out a lot more, as well. I have the back room in my house set up with a treadmill and, in the future, weights.

[@FittieFoodie8]

You got this! Focus on hitting your basics: hitting your macros and your calories. Try a macro calculator, input your info for a ballpark on these numbers (protein, fat, and carbs). Hit your steps with 10k a day, get your rest, and no sugary drinks. Then adding weights to this equation will be even more of a game changer. Rooting for you, Computer Kid!! ☺️

[@davidkos74]

1/2 marathons are no joke - especially if you are not used to running outside (in the California summer). Take it seriously, train hard and believe in yourself. You can do it.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Yea it’s gonna rough . I got six months to work on it and get the point where I can at least finish it . Even if I have to walk it

[@DALEf4u]

I know Disneyland has a 5K. Starting out on a 13 mile run/walk is brave but good for you on wanting to do it! Looking forward to you chronicling your progress in training for it!!

[@beograd611]

​@TheDailyWoo highly recommend getting a doctor check up before starting a training block, especially if you have never done something like this before. Also, train outside, not on a treadmill.

[@EsmeGrubb]

That's a great goal. Sean Astin of Goonies and Lord of the Rings fame used to run half and full marathons, and even did a triathlon in Hawaii. But it takes concerted effort and training. You might want to see if you can find a coach. They can help you pick the right clothes and diet, and put you on a running schedule. Best wishes to you.

[@TheWorldAccordingtoJim]

I absolutely love your channel, Adam!! The West Coast at 3:00 a.m. doesn't work 😮.. love your new place ❤

[@WDWRLD]

Adam you can definitely do it. It’s easily walkable worst case but add in some run walk intervals and you will have no problems. Biggest thing is set yourself up for success, get in your coral as early as you can so you will start as early as you can which gives you more of a buffer. Since it’s your first race limit photo stops or at least waiting in the long line, just snap a selfie off to the side and keep moving. I’ve done both coasts and DL is a different feel than WDW since most of the race is off property. For me the highlight out there was running on the field of Angels stadium with people in the stands cheering us on. Also when the race is over as much as you want to go back to the resort and relax it’s best to keep moving, at least for me it is.

[@ShariMoo]

Do not worry about the time, Adam. Enjoy the sights and what Disney offers in these “races”. I ran/walked the Wine & Dine, finishing in 3 hours. I stopped for photos, water and snacks. Each mile marker I took a selfie (it’s fun to see how I looked each mile). You’ll hit a wall at some point but then get a burst of energy. Disney puts together excellent race events. This was my favorite half marathon I’ve done. Best of luck!

[@Fantasmister]

Since you can Run, Jog, Walk, Crawl, be Dragged or Carried across the finishing line - you'll be golden 🥇

[@TheDailyWoo]

Heck yes

[@Donarovich]

Adam, I'm so excited for you!! I just completed my third marathon myself and you will not regret it. As another lifetime runner on here said, the best thing to do is get outside to train. Work your way up slowly and don't punish yourself if you aren't progressing as fast as you want. A fitness tracker to log miles helps immensely. I live in Celebration too and I run almost everyday. Hope to see you out there!

[@jneely77]

I went from 315 LBs to doing half marathons in under two hours. My biggest piece of training advice is to not do all of your training on a treadmill. Run outside as much as you possibly can.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Sounds good I won’t be . I’m just gonna use the trash I’ll first month to build stamina and drop weight . After that it’s outside

[@jneely77]

@@TheDailyWoo I live in Chicago so most of my running from like November to March is on the treadmill. It's definitely a very useful tool and will really help you lose weight. And if you weren't planning on doing the half then I'd say you could stick with the treadmill as much as you want. But outside running is different than treadmill running, and you don't realize how much harder it is until you get outside.

[@MikesVegas]

Good for you Adam 😎👍 It’s important that you get outside and start walking, the treadmill’s fine, but get used to walking on pavement, there’s a difference 😎

[@AdventuresPlanned]

Adam, Congrats on starting to run! I’ve been an avid distance runner for about 15 years (minus 2 years for dialysis and kidney transplant). I run about 150-160 miles a month at the moment and I guarantee you’ll finish the Half Marathon… just go your own pace.. And also just a heads up, the shoes won’t get 3000 miles or anywhere close to that.. you’ll average about 350-400 miles on a pair of daily trainers depending on how often you run, running surface and how you run.. I have the On Cloudeclipse and I’m hoping to get about 450 miles out of them! And also, do the bulk of your runs on the road.. if the weather is great be outside running.. the treadmill and the road are two totally different feelings.. Best of luck and I can’t wait to see your journey to its completion!

[@melissawagner1799]

I am an RN, and I agree with other comments….before you start any more intense training and running, you should get a full medical exam and EKG. It would be terrible to be alone and have a cardiac event. Be safe! There’s NO shame in walking the entire thing, that’s still excellent exercise and a great achievement! 😊 you got this!!! 💪🏻

You don't have 5 hours. The balloon ladies are the last to start, and they maintain a 16 minute pace. If they pass you, and you can't quickly pass them back, you will be swept and brought to the finish line. The first wave goes off at 5am, the last wave is likely around 545am. Practice keeping a 15 min or better pace, and you'll be fine. runDisney at Disney World > Disneyland, but you'll have fun.

[@Lee-vb4vh]

Is 15 min pace per mile? And what do they use to sweep slow runners? Thanks

[@GB_Raps]

@@Lee-vb4vh the sweep pace is 16 min. The balloon ladies start dead last and keep a steady 16 min pace. So if you start in a corral ahead of them, technically you have more than 16 min pace because you have a 15-30 min lead on them to start. When swept, there are hard sweep points where they have buses for you to get on, otherwise a golf cart will scoop you and bring you to a bus. Disney does it very civil and heartfelt. They don’t make you feel bad, and they bring you to the finish where you still get a medal. RunDisney is an incredible and welcoming community for 95% of the people.
