I am linking up again for the Weekly Run Down with Kim and Deborah.

I had a very busy week and had to adjust my training a little bit, but I still tried to get all my challenge sessions and my half marathon training runs in. Sometimes, it’s a bit of a puzzle to make it all fit, but that’s also the fun of it. I usually sit down on Sundays to plan out my week. Do you do a bit of ahead planning or are you totally winging it?

Monday:

10 Min Core Strength – Denis (7/26/19) — GZ Strength W4A3
30 Min Full Body Strength – Callie (12/16/22) — GZ Strength W3C3
15 Min 90’s Ride – Jenn (12/6/22)
10 Min Full Body Stretch – Matty (11/12/20)
5 Min Seasonal Meditation – Kristin (2/27/20) – Love & Self Care/Personal Streak

Tuesday:

5 Min HIIT Cardio Warm Up – Adrian (11/14/20)
30 Min Full Body Strength – Rad (8/4/21) — GZ Strength W4C3
10 Min Core Strength – Emma (5/23/22) — GZ Strength W4A1/Streakers365 Love Tree
30 Min Recovery Run – Matt (1/3/22) — PZ W4C2
15 Min Recovery Run – Becs (1/30/23)
5 Min Cool Down Walk – Matty (5/11/22)
5 Min Post-Run Stretch – Becs (4/26/19)

Picked a couple of classes from the Groozy Zones Strength Challenge and had a 5 mile training target pace run on the schedule.

Wednesday:

5 Min HIIT Cardio Warm Up – Adrian (11/14/20)
30 Min PZE Pop Ride – Matt (1/7/21) — PZ W4C3
20 Min Upper Body Strength – Callie (10/5/22) — GZ Strength W4C1
10 Min Full Body Stretch – Callie (1/25/23)
10 Min Courage Meditation – Cody (9/30/22) — Love Tree/Personal Streak

Love a nice Power Zone Pop Ride with Matt. So fun!

Thursday:

5 Min HIIT Cardio Warm Up Adrian (11/14/20) — Love Tree
20 Min Glutes & Legs Strength – Andy (4/11/22) — GZ Strength W4C2
10 Min Core Strength – Robin (5/14/19)
45 Min Endurance Run – Becs (5/31/22) — PZ W4C4
5 Min Cool Down Run – Becs (1/5/23)
5 Min Post-Run Stretch – Becs (1/5/23)

Completely forgot to do at least 5 min meditation in the evening. Oh well, but still checked off a couple of challenge training sessions.

Friday:

5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Olivia (1/17/23)
45 Min Endurance Run – Matt (1/8/23) — PZ W5C2
30 Min Tempo Run – Olivia (1/13/23) — PZ W5C4
30 Min Bootcamp: Full Body – Cody (10/14/20) — Love Tree Challenge
5 Min Post-Run Stretch – Olivia (1/17/23)
5 Min Sleep Meditation – Kristin (1/3/23) — Personal Streak

I loved the Bootcamp. I always forgot how much fun they are and need to remember to put it on the schedule more often.

Saturday:

30 Min Endurance Run – Matt (1/27/23)
15 min Flash 15 – Jess S (2/1/23) – Love Tree
10 Min Full Body Stretch – Logan (6/1/22) – Love & Self Care
5 Min Sleeping Meditation – Anna (8/11/22) – Personal Streak

A short run and the Flash 15 for the Love Tree was all I could get done. It was a long driving day (I am gone on a work trip for fieldwork) and I just didn’t have a lot of time.

Sunday:

10 Min Standing Yoga – Mariana (1/27/22) — Love & Self Care
15 Min Full Body Stretch – Hannah C (2/12/22) — Love & Self Care
5 Min Sleep Meditation – Kristin (1/3/23) — Personal STreak

I only did a bit of yoga and stretching at the end of a long work day.

Self Love & Care 2/1-2/28
Love Tree 2/1-2/14

That’s a very good training week!! I got most done that I wanted (and a bit more, since I also started running again), but for my core workout at home yesterday I had some odd cramps around a knee and couldn’t do all the reps. But it’s been a busy weekend and busy week overall so maybe my body just wanted me to take it easy.

  Sounds like you had a good week overall!

You always have such a great variety of workouts! Your comment about the boot camp class made me realize (for the 104th time) that I still have not done a boot camp class. I’m so used to doing the strength and cycling (and an occasional walk or run class, more for the playlist than anything), that when I’m cueing up classes, the boot camps are not on my radar.

  Yes, do the bootcamps! So fun. I definitely have to make sure that I add more of them in myself.

Nice week of Peloton classes! Interesting that you do your glutes/legs strength before your run. Not sure I could do that! My legs are usually shot after a lower body class. After doing JJ’s split training for a few weeks, I am looking for motivation on some new strength classes

  I did the strength training before my run out of necessity LOL (it was still dark out and I don’t run when it still dark, so I knocked out something else first) ;)

I love the tights you are wearing in your first photo! They are so cheery and pretty! I work out far less than you so I don’t have to do much planning in advance. I try to get 4 workouts in with 1 workout being strength training. I am only running 3-4 miles at a time, though, so am in a very different stage of exercise/training than you! I will sometimes write down what I plan to do, but have had to be flexible as things can happen to derail my plans, like a kid getting sick. And I HATE not doing what I wrote down in my planner! This week I did not get 4 workouts in as Phil was traveling and the boys had an early school closer on Friday and I could not wedge the workout in. Which is fine – life happens!

  Thank you – I am getting so many comments on these tights. I snagged them at Old Navy on sale and I am so glad I got them. I love them, too.
  I think it’s great that you have a general idea of what you want to get done in a week, but that you have to keep it more flexible. Totally makes sense!

Nice week! I don’t usually track my warmups (just quick 5 min bits), but I see how yours add up over the week, so maybe I should also track those. Hm. My workout week was okay, but I did a Caroline Girvan leg workout yesterday that somehow tweaked my bad leg, so I might be taking it easy for the next day or two!

  The warmups and cooldowns add up! And they’re so important.
  How’s your leg doing?

I love all of your Peloton workouts this week – so much variety!

I have been slacking on my sleep meditations at night so I need to start doing those again – thanks for the reminder!

  I really love the sleep meditation. Sometimes I forget, but I never regret when I remember to do them!

I also feel like it’s fitting together pieces of a puzzle, and I definitely plan out my week in advance. i’m not doing all these challenges you are, but figuring out when to go to the gym so I’m not sore for my long run, and when everything else fits in around the rest of life, is challenging sometimes. Seems like you did a good job of making it all work this week!

  I can definitely see how you have to plan around other things during the week, but I love that you always find time to fit your runs/gym workouts in! Go you!

Great week, looks like some solid strength and cardio! You’re the Peloton queen!

  Haha, thank you. I really love the variety the platform offers.

As you know I am not doing any regular exercise (as of now?!) but I did get 40,000+ steps in last week. I think that is decent.

How did you do the exercises when you have been away? do you take all the equipment?
1. San

  40k steps is awesome! Go you!
  
  I don’t take any equipment when I travel, but I try to use whatever the hotel has (treadmill, weights, exercise bike), but there’s also a lot of classes on the app that can be done without equipment.
