On today’s episode, we’re putting our runner instincts to the test with a little game we’re calling Riskin' It for the Biscuit! Every runner has faced those pre-race temptations — from wearing something brand new on race day, to skipping your warm-up because the corrals are packed, or eating that questionable spicy dinner the night before.
We’ll be deciding which running gambles are worth the risk… and which ones could totally crumble under race-day pressure. Let’s see just how bold we’re feeling today.
So, lace up your shoes, decide what biscuits you’re riskin' it for, and step into the magic with us!

Welcome to the Stride Sisters Podcast!
On today’s episode, we hop into our rocketship and head to Area 51 to talk about the half marathon that Hannah ran this past weekend, where the costumes were plentiful, the weather had a mind of its own, and survival became the name of the game. From 90-degree heat to a monsoon that turned the course into a slip-n-slide, Hannah’s race was anything but ordinary. We’ll talk about the highs, the lows, the new friends made on the course, and of course, the post-race recovery fueled by McDonald’s fries and Coke. So buckle up — or should we say beam up — because this week’s episode is going to be a wild ride.
So lace up your shoes, and step into the magic with us!

About Us
We're the Stride Sisters! From left to right, it's Hannah and Natalie. We're college friends and sorority sisters who have found a love of runDisney. As previous swimmers and lifeguards, we've made the leap from sea to land, just like Ariel.
Hannah is our engineer behind the podcast, both literally and figuratively since she got us together and is a literal engineer at her 9 to 5. She's also a travel agent and can help you plan the perfect adventure.
Natalie is the true OG; she's been running the longest, and she has roped in countless people to join her on this journey. She's even completed multiple Dopeys and the Coast to Coast Challenge!
