Ep 47 - It's supposed to be fun (with special guest, The Tutu Guys)

Sometimes the stress of training and performing well on race day can get the best of us... this week we're reminded that runDisney races are supposed to be FUN!! And who better to help remind us and give us some time than the one and only Tutu Guys???

Ep 46 - Mental toughness, grit and resilience (with special guest, Fireman Rob)

If you've ever seen a firefighter doing a runDisney race in full gear, you've been lucky enough to have seen Fireman Rob! In this episode, we sit down with one of the most inspiring people in the runDisney community. Rob is a 26-year firefighting veteran, military medic, and 911 rescue worker who has logged over 1,400 miles completing races in his fire gear across Iron Mans, marathons, and runDisney races alike. And he's not doing it for him... he's doing it for us. We dig into the mental side of running including what it really means to have grit, how to build resilience before you even get to the starting line, emotional control on the course, and why showing up (even when you don't want to) is the definition of resilience. Rob also shares his personal story of mental health and what keeps him coming back to Disney year after year. Whether you're running your first half marathon or your fiftieth, this episode will leave you inspired for sure!

Ep 45 - Inspiring stories of triumph

On this week's episode, we have the privilege of sharing TWO inspiring stories from friends who have been through tragic accidents, life-saving surgeries, miserable physical therapy and long, slow recovery. When we first heard their stories, we were so inspired that we asked if they’d be willing to come on the podcast and help inspire all of you as well. Grab your Kleenex, these stories are incredible. We announced The Support Crew in this episode; to learn more or join the crew, visit https://ajanderika.com/supportcrew [https://ajanderika.com/supportcrew]

Ep 44 - 101 runDisney races (with special guest, RyanOnTheRun)

Today we're sharing two exciting runDisney stories! First, we pulled off an awesome surprise for our friends who were running their first runDisney challenge and 10 Miler. It might be one of our favorite memories of 2026 so far! Then, we sit down with Ryan Teetz, who is more commonly known as Ryan on the Run on Instagram and YouTube — who just crossed his 100th runDisney finish line. We chat about what it's like to hit that incredible milestone, the awesome costume he wore to celebrate, his best advice for first-time runDisney racers, and what keeps him coming back race after race.
