Considering it’s barely ready to share when they do the actual release, can you imagine the sort of wrong information that would get posted if someone cracked the code?I really hope someone cracks this password someday but I also know that the content inside is in no way ready to share.

Haha I was thinking the same thing.Considering it’s barely ready to share when they do the actual release, can you imagine the sort of wrong information that would get posted if someone cracked the code?
I just had an IT band injury from Goofy flare up this past weekend so I will most likely be at the back of the pack on all races for Dopey if I even finish. It's been a pretty discouraging last few days.Same vibes here bud, my butt is still giving me all kinds of issues so I’ll be bringing up the rear. Life comes in waves, there are crests and troughs. Sorry you’re in a down spot, things will get better. See you at the finish line, we’ve got this.
And thanks to the advice from everyone, insanely helpful and should be stickied!! Do I need to join VQ if I’m picking up pre-ordered merch? I’ve heard about the madhouse on here before and think I got everything I wanted/could afford already.
It wasn't an IT band, but I was rehabbing a torn hamstring during my first Marathon Weekend and had only gotten back to a ~12 mile long run at 1:00/3:00 run/walk intervals in training. While not quite Dopey, it was still the 10k + Goofy with my first marathon. The key was to take it slow and easy, one mile at a time. It got the job done. Hang in there and take each race on its own and don't worry about what's to come. It's like March Madness. Survive the race you're in and advance to the next one.I just had an IT band injury from Goofy flare up this past weekend so I will most likely be at the back of the pack on all races for Dopey if I even finish.

Anyone else been able to finish Dopey with an IT band injury or something similar? I could really use some encouragement right now. I've been training really diligently and smartly since June and I'm pretty bummed out right now.
I had an IT band issue going into Dopey in 2018. I was not as smart or knowledgeable about training then as I am today. It really flared up after a ~16 mile run in November. I went to PT and hit it hard. I completed Dopey (doing the HM with my much slower wife) and finished my first marathon in 3:54. I missed many of my runs over the final month of training but was still able to finish. And my IT band didn't really bother me during Dopey weekend.

I fought ITBS for 8 years before working with a coach. My glutes weren't firing, which we fixed with strength training, and she finally got me to focus on activation exercises before my runs to wake up my glutes. You know, I would just put my shoes on and go out and run. My left glute was especially lazy, leaving my right leg to do all the lifting, and giving me shooting pain where the ITB connects at the knee.I just had an IT band injury from Goofy flare up this past weekend so I will most likely be at the back of the pack on all races for Dopey if I even finish.

Hello fellow ITBS friend! I battled with this last year and I finished Dopey in 2023 with it. I found Some relief while running by using an IT band strap. I was able to run without it for the 5k and 10k but wore it for both the half and full.I just had an IT band injury from Goofy flare up this past weekend so I will most likely be at the back of the pack on all races for Dopey if I even finish.

I finished the marathon of a Dopey with an IT band injury two years ago. First three races were fine. Then as soon as I got out of Magic Kingdom and was heading down Floridian Way a sharp shooting pain went down the side of my left knee. It was hurting so bad that I actually texted my wife and told her I don't know how I was going to finish the run. I ended up getting my knee wrapped up at one of the medical stations (over the top of a layer of Biofreeze) and popping some pain meds. I was able to run on that for a few miles with minimal pain, then it would come back. I would have to come to slow jog or walk for a minute or two and then I would be good to run again for a few miles. This ended up being my routine to finish the run. I did have to stop one more time to get my knee re-wrapped.I just had an IT band injury from Goofy flare up this past weekend so I will most likely be at the back of the pack on all races for Dopey if I even finish.

Hi, chronic ITBS sufferer for reasons beyond what I can control! Here’s what I do to keep it at bay for as long as possible and that has gotten me through 4 Dopeys, 7 marathons, and more 5K/10K/13.1s than I can recall:I just had an IT band injury from Goofy flare up this past weekend so I will most likely be at the back of the pack on all races for Dopey if I even finish.

Love this!It's like March Madness. Survive the race you're in and advance to the next one.
Agree. Love it also. Someone asked me this past weekend that question that I am sure many of you get "how do you get through four runs four days in a row". I always said just get to Sunday and then becomes a matter of survival. You have to get from point A to B. Not everyone does it the same. You have to do what is required to survive that last run.Love this!
I don't know if it'll help with ITBS but for my glute injury doing like 2 miles, walk 1/3-1/2 mi, repeat, has really helped me. I think it helps reset my form some so I'm not pushing the forces that are injuring that glute muscle. It's slowing me down a lot but so far it's not getting worse and slowly getting better. Hoping this'll be sustainable through Dopey C2C.I knew I could count on everyone here to offer helpful suggestions and give me some hope. I am so determined to finish Dopey and I think I can get there with some adjustments to my running plan. I'm going to give run/walk a try and I've got a good arsenal of strength exercises and stretching to do thanks to @jrsharp21 suggesting that awesome video!
I already have an IT band strap and used it for the first time on a 3-mile run yesterday. I felt great until the last .25 miles when I started to feel the pain creep back in. I will keep using it and implement more walking breaks.
Thanks again everyone!
