Training Mantras from a Galaxy Far, Far Away!

Whether you're preparing for the 2018 Star Wars Half Marathon – The Dark Side race weekend or for a run at home, every runner needs a little motivation when training. As recommended by official runDisney training consultant and Olympian Jeff Galloway, runners should find and use a mantra to keep focus and stay in a positive mindset. Try a few of these motivational quotes from the Star Wars films for a "impressive, most impressive" training run:

"Do or do not, there is not try." – Yoda, The Empire Strikes Back

"Your focus determines your reality." – Qui-Gon Jinn, The Phantom Menace

"Never tell me the odds." – Han Solo, The Empire Strikes Back

"Do what must be done. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy." – Darth Sidious, Revenge of the Sith

"Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose." – Yoda, Revenge of the Sith

"The Force will be with you. Always." – Obi-Wan Kenobi, A New Hope

Jump from training to light speed in just a few parsecs and join us for both the Star Wars Virtual Half Marathon and the 2018 Star Wars Half Marathon – The Dark Side race weekend. Both events have spots remaining, so sign up today!
