Marathon training

[hurdlertwin]

Hey everyone!
I'm on my college's track team and am planning on heading to WDW for spring break. While there I am supposed to do my workouts (usually 6 miles of total running every day). I am staying in the pop hotel. Does anyone have any suggestions for places I could run/train at. I'm hoping I can do it somewhere close to the hotel without having to pay extra to go to a gym. Any comments would certainly help.

Go to Disneyrunning.com for maps of all the trails around resorts at WDW. Have fun, save time to play!

What resort are you staying at? Wilderness Lodge has trails (mostly terrain) that connect to Fort Wilderness. POP has some nice trails along the lake there.

There's people always running around the resorts!

Don't forget, Disney has marathons of their own! I've done 1 full and 3 halves. My 4th half is next weekend!

We're staying at POP, and thanks a bunch! These maps will really help when I'm down there.

do the marathons they have down there go through the parks or around the resorts at all?

[DisneyDudet]

Do they ever! The WDW and Princess half marathons run through Epcot and MK, while the WDW full marathon runs through all 4 parks! The newest event, Disney's Wine and Dine half marathon will most likely be run from the ESPN Wide World of Sports to AK, MGM(DHS), and finish at Epcot!

I am now a race snob, and will only run Disney races!

If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask. I have run the full marathon once, the Princess twice, and the Disneyland Half once (registered for it again this year!).
