Been following your channel for a while! I did the spring time surprise challenge back in April. Recovery is key and definitely try not to go hard in the parks on friday and saturday. Looking to do dopey in '26, going to try a marathon at the end of this year.
Didn't know about this challenge. Definetely not for me, as a just started running some months ago and have only raced 5k but I enjoyed watching. Thanks.
Great practical tips for people looking to improve chance of success with the challenge. The video title made me think it was more about weighing the question of it it is bad for runners but the closest I think that question was approached was the idea of it being not a good idea for trying to do peak performance in any given race. I'm not an SEO/YT algorithm expert to know the best way to word that to capture what the video did address, and address well, which is training and racing tips for the Dopey Challenge while making it work with the algorithm to make it pop.
Did the challenge in 2017 with my kids and the grandchildren joined us for the 5km. The hardest part was getting up so early 4 mornings in a row, but it was still the most fun we’ve had running ever!
We have a similar local challenge called wicked triple but its 5k and 10k same day (10k am 5k pm) then half the next morning its honestly not that bad i actually PR’d in all events last year and got AG as well but i definitely would do this since it adds a marathon as well
1:40 Except Sifan Hassan raced the 5k, 10k and marathon in the Olympics so pretty darn close LOL! But yes, agree with your points and I have an athlete who wants to do really well in the marathon so she is running with other family members for the other 3 days which will help her with keeping it fun, light and slow so she can see what she can do for 26.2. I did Dopey last year and it was the first marathon I ever just ran for fun and so glad I did.
Sifan Hassan: "sometimes I wake up like- why the hell I decide to run Dopey Challenge"

Good idea. Dopey is certainly not for beginners!

Killer challenge. Let’s call it Dopey 😁
Great advice! Thank you for sharing this 🎉

I wouldn't ever compare your abilities to a global talent unless you are also a global talent....
@@JasonFitzgerald no comparison, was just having a little fun while recognizing how incredible a feat it truly was.
Possibly a different type of dopey challenge :|
Interesting, I've never heard of it.
If you still intend to make the most of your trip by visiting the parks, besides limiting time on your feet, do you have any other tips?
Tips for what?
@@JasonFitzgerald tips regarding tackling the parks and races. Would including extra walking distance into your routine be helpful or harmful?
@@ronridley8684 Do a few 40-50k step days in the months leading up to it!
You are a dope if you pay Disney those stupid prices. Go run the same challenge at home.
lol I'm with you
$700 for 4 races, holy moly
