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

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

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

- 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.

- 15 Min Full Body Stretch – Hannah C (2/12/22) — Love & Self Care

February 13, 2023 at 3:40 amThat’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.
San
February 19, 2023 at 4:24 pmSounds like you had a good week overall!

February 13, 2023 at 5:22 amYou 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.
San
February 19, 2023 at 4:25 pmYes, do the bootcamps! So fun. I definitely have to make sure that I add more of them in myself.

February 13, 2023 at 6:16 amNice 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
San
February 19, 2023 at 4:25 pmI 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) ;)

February 13, 2023 at 7:33 amI 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!
San
February 19, 2023 at 4:26 pmThank 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!

February 13, 2023 at 7:51 amNice 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!
San
February 19, 2023 at 4:27 pmThe warmups and cooldowns add up! And they’re so important.
How’s your leg doing?

February 13, 2023 at 2:52 pmI 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!
San
February 19, 2023 at 4:27 pmI really love the sleep meditation. Sometimes I forget, but I never regret when I remember to do them!

February 14, 2023 at 5:12 amI 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!
San
February 19, 2023 at 4:28 pmI 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!
Jessie
February 16, 2023 at 2:33 amGreat week, looks like some solid strength and cardio! You’re the Peloton queen!
San
February 19, 2023 at 4:29 pmHaha, thank you. I really love the variety the platform offers.

February 18, 2023 at 2:34 amAs 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?
San
February 19, 2023 at 4:31 pm40k 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.
