You have to hear must-do Disney tips from podcaster and Runner of the Week, Juan Sepúlveda. Even though I’ve been to Disney World seven times, I had no idea about the tips that Juan shared.

Serena Marie, RD, shares why she is grateful for cherries (and how they’re amazing for us runners), and I give a gratitude update about my toenail.
