Running #25

Announcing over a million people across a finish line, John and I (Carissa) have seen our share of inspiration. We are here to share these amazing stories and provide nutrition tips and motivation to help you enjoy every run. Similar to what happens at a start line, we have no idea where each episode will go, so join us for the fun!

    Insight, humor, snark, and some history!
    This podcast helped me more than anything else to becoming the runner I am today. Carissa and John’s compassion, wit, and insight not only helped guide me in this journey to better health, but has also made me a better person. I can’t thank them enough for this.
  • DW4Me
    Keep the History
    Keep the mini history lessons. At a Haunted History walking tour in DC a few weeks ago, the tour guide told the story of Dan Sickles. I’m like ‘I know This story’ and I added a fact that the tour guide told didn’t know. So, for one evening, I knew more history than my entire family.

    Thank you so much for this gift, John & Carissa
    This podcast just makes you feel like a part of something special in the run world. Thank you so much for sharing details about you & for the helpful segments (the quality interviews, the mail responses, the nutrition) - it’s all so lovely and helpful. It’s been a hard year for me, and I was feeling disconnected from running. This podcast feels like a hug, and I’m excited about the races ahead. I have been applying the nutrition tips. Thank you for this sweet gift of a podcast. Your time, perspective, and expertise are so truly wonderful 💖.
  • Heidi Drum
    This will always put a smile on your face
    I love catching up with Carissa and John and enjoy the interviews, stories and fun life sharing that they do on this podcast. Lots to learn and listen to here. Enjoy a fun show with great hosts!
  • Rob Vertrees
    Asgard’s favorite podcast
    Since I failed to go for Thanos’s head, and sunk into a battle of depression, I ended up slightly out of shape with a rather large beer belly. As I try to get back into Avengers shape, running races thru RunDisney has been my go to activity. Alas, there are only four weekends per year where I am able to satiate that thirst. This podcast, however, has given me the desire to continue my running elsewhere, and I find myself enjoying the witty banter between the hosts, as well as the inspirational stories of the guests. Five Stars all around. Dad Bod Thor

    Inspiring and Fun
    John and Carissa, along with Weston and their Guests, do a terrific job. The podcast is informative, funny, heartfelt, and inspiring. Keep being great! It remains the only podcast I listen to, but in reality, what else is needed?!
  • Rollem123
    More than just Run Disney (but it’s that, too!)
    John and Carissa have great rapport on their show about all things running, Disney, travel and more. I reminisce about hearing their voices at the start line of Disney races while I listen to their convesersations and interviews. Definitely worth a listen :)
  • Bebaprincessrunner
    These two are the best!
    Thanks for the laughs and the info! Great hearing you guys on a weekly basis! Keep up the good work!
  • PB love
    Every mile is magic
    When ever I am away from Disney and running, I turn this podcast on and feel like I am back at Disney. The miles go by much faster when listening to John and Carissa and hearing that 3-2-1-go always pumps me up to run faster! So grateful they share their time with us to do these podcasts!
  • missyjane6
    Keeps me motivated!
    This podcast kept me entertained and motivated as I trained for the princess challenge this year! The podcast raised my excitement week after week and it felt like Christmas morning when the weekend was finally here! It was so fun to attend Princess weekend and feel more connected to the runDisney community. I’m hooked on the podcast and look forward to each and every episode!

    Knowledge and Magic in Between Run Disney Events
    “321 Go! the Podcast” is a must listen for any Run Disney athlete. There is a perfect combination of really useful event, general running and even nutrition information along with some super fun behind the scenes banter between Carissa and John. Totally keeps me in the Disney bubble in between run Disney events.
  • Seanjack2011
    Great, fun running podcast
    I love this podcast. The hosts have such great chemistry. Not a lot of podcasts make me smile while listening, but this one does, multiple times an episode.
  • Magic Coordinator
    Love this podcast!
    Normally I listen to music while I run. Pandora gives me a hodgepodge of Disney, Broadway musicals & oldies, but lately I’ve been less motivated. Listening to Carissa & John & their guests has made me laugh, cry, relive RunDisney memories & get through my long training runs. Thank you! 💕
  • Bklynite123
    For that off-season fix
    This is the perfect podcast for RunDisney fans and runners of all kinds. Hearing John and Carissa’s voices makes me excited for my upcoming races at WDW and will make hearing them at the start that much sweeter. Great guests, great advice, and funny too! John and Carissa make a great comic duo, with real chemistry that shines through on each episode.
  • RunDis girl
    Instant unfollow
    I can’t believe Running In Makeup made your show, especially with how nasty she has been to runners on course. “Internet fame” has definitely gotten to this one.
  • TheBigSkipper
    Makes me so happy
    I love your show, your insights, your great guests, and feeling like I’m in the corrals waiting to run! Love you both!
  • BreeLeigh
    What a team
    Carissa is such an incredible talent I’ve followed much of her professional life. So great to hear her with a fantastic partner host. This content is fantastic for anyone who loves to run and especially for those who love to Run Disney! Terrific podcast.
  • S Marx
    One of my favs
    Love listening to Carissa and John, inspirational guests, fun banter. Highly recommend this podcast!
  • sprocketqueen
    Great chemistry!
    Love this podcast. Seems like Disney should be paying for this show since the hosts manage to capture all the fun of the Disney races. Perfect for training — or getting out of bed to train. Which I need to do now: 3,2,1…Go!
  • eokeefe1
    Excellent podcast with my favorite race announcers!
    I love this podcast! Carissa and John are great to listen to, are motivating, and have great conversations with guests. Thank you for all the great tips, and looking forward to more episodes!
  • olivegentle
    So fun!!
    This has been such a fun podcast to listen to while I run. Love having the good mix of running, Disney, and nutrition and fitness. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait for more! :)
  • ShelliG
    Great podcast!!
    Love this podcast!! Carissa and John are wonderful race announcers and it’s great to be able to hear their stories from the races in a fun and informative way.
  • Bevtlee
    Fun and informative!!
    So fun to take a deeper dive with these 2! Been doing RunDisney races for a few years and they make the early mornings so fun and now they make my afternoons fun too!!!
  • GeorgiaRunnerBelle
    So much fun !
    So glad to get to know you both a bit more. All the podcasts have been entertaining and informative!
  • katieaileen
    The best!
    So happy to hear you two in my ears! Please keep them coming. ❤️
  • CARDINALSTY
    Yay!
    Love to hear you all on my runs! I usually only get to hear you all when I’m in the most magical place on earth.
  • ripley132
    nostalgic
    i can’t be the only one who teared up hearing them yell “3, 2, 1, GOOO!” right?? absolutely loved this first episode and cannot wait to listen to more! keep being YOU and sharing all those inspiring stories!
  • Jenny M branch
    Uplifting, fun!
    The hosts are fun and clever and their chemistry is awesome you can tell they are great friends. Podcast is inspiring and entertaining!
  • SaltyRunnerM
    A fun behind the scenes
    I love Carissa’s energy - always so encouraging and fun! John - I’ll share some Gumby’s pepperoni rolls with you!! Go Gators! Can’t wait til the next episode.
  • Heart Man!
    Carissa’s microphone needs to be fixed
    I love the show but Carissa’s microphone was poor. Please correct and I’m looking forward to more episodes!
  • Lindon man sure
    Oh this will be fun
    I enjoy them as part of the runDisney announcer team so this was a fun show! I look forward to more.
  • AJ224222
    Music to my ears!
    Have always loved hearing you at start lines and now look forward to your words of inspiration on my training runs! As a theater major, event industry worker and marathoner - you guys are my cup of tea! I love running/races but I don’t necessarily always want to hear just about finish times, workouts, and fueling (although it’s all important!) The logistics behind the events, inspiring stories, bloopers are really welcome listening! Shines a light on this whole experience we’ve come to love beyond just the running! Thank you - can’t wait for more!
  • Solid Foam
    So much fun
    If you like RunDisney, why are you wasting time reading this review and not just listening to this amazing podcast?
  • RunMikeD
    321 Yes!
    Really enjoyable to hear our fav race announcers outside of the start line. Definitely adding it to my must listens. One mild criticism would be to adjust the recording volume so it’s not redlining.
  • Gway3000
    I love it!!
    So entertaining! Can’t wait for more!!
