This week’s stats:
Running: 15.8 mi
Cycling: 40.2 mi
Bootcamp: 60 min
Strength: 120 min
Yoga/Pilates/Barre: 115 min
Warm-up/Stretching: 70 min
Meditation: 20 min
I am linking up again for the Weekly Run Down with Kim and Deborah.
This week was a deload week – at least for the Team Wilpers Run Challenge. Easy runs only. I’ll take it, although I am really thriving on the interval/tempo runs. They’re so fun and rewarding.
We found out this week that Kristin McGee is leaving Peloton and that’s a devastating blow. She’s one of the best (and most popular) yoga instructors on the platform. There’s been a lot of announcements lately (Ross Rayburn and Kendall Toole are leaving too) and I am a bit afraid of what that all means.

I started my morning with some strength training with Sherry and Lindsay and a focus flow with Kristin McGee, who announced today that she was leaving Peloton. She is such a great instructor and arguably one of the most popular ones, she’s definitely been my go-to for yoga, Pilates, and meditation. They say that she decided to leave after contract negotiations fell through (whatever that means). But what a huge loss for the Peloton community.
I met up with Tanja a little later for a power zone ride, which was also a milestone ride for us: 1400 rides on the bike that goes nowhere :) My sister and Kristin were also on the leaderboard and celebrated with us!

I also realized that I know quite a few Cher songs, but there are also many I don’t know. Haha.

I went to a (free) “Injury Prevention” class at our local Fleet Feet store in the morning. Although I have not had any injuries from running in the ten years I’ve been pursuing running as a sport (either I must be doing something right, or I am just plain lucky), I thought it wouldn’t hurt to get some free information, and it was a very informative class by a local physical therapist.
I postponed my own workout to the early afternoon because I first wanted to watch others play sports (the European Championship soccer game between Germany and Switzerland took place at noon). I had another Power Zone ride on the schedule for today and while it was a sweaty workout with work in Zone 3, Sweet Spot, and Zone 4, it went pretty well. The dip in my graph during the last interval was due to a temporarily frozen Peloton screen (damn it ;)).

Current Challenges + Trackers:
I kept chipping away at my trackers this week. I completely blanked on a yoga, Barre, or Pilates class on Monday (that’s why you see the big, fat red X on the first tracker), but that can happen when you try to keep too many proverbial balls in the air. Haha. I am not sweating it.

How was your week? Are you also sad to hear that Kristin McGee is leaving Peloton?
Deborah Brooks
June 23, 2024 at 5:17 pmI don’t do as much yoga as you do but Kristin is my go to. I love the short 10 min hips classes she does. Ross was a little too technical for me. there are still 57 Peloton instructors don’t panic :)
San
June 23, 2024 at 5:18 pmHaha, you’re right. I still hate to see my favorites leave.
Kimberly Hatting
June 23, 2024 at 5:53 pmI’m not very active with Peloton yoga (my bad), so I guess these departures don’t affect me much. It is a little disconcerting. I did occasionally go to Kendall for cardio, though.
San
June 23, 2024 at 9:18 pmI know there’s still plenty of instructors, it just irks you when your “go-to” instructors might not be available anymore. I hope the content stays on the app for a long while.
Coco
June 23, 2024 at 6:04 pmI know it’s disappointing when instructors move on, but it’s bound to happen from time to time. At least their classes will stay on the platform for a while — there are still a few classes from Chase left!
I want to take Leanne’s Cher ride, but I’m not sure I could cope with a whole Cher playlist!
San
June 23, 2024 at 7:34 pmYou’re right, it’s bound to happen that instructors come and go… I just don’t want my favorites to go (haha!).
Lisa @ TechChick Adventures
June 23, 2024 at 7:03 pmLucky you to not have injuries! (well, probably not luck, probably doing something very right!!) I hope that streak continues for you.
San
June 23, 2024 at 7:34 pmAh, thanks Lisa. I just read that you’re still dealing with your tendon and I am so sorry, it sounds so very frustrating. Hoping for some good news from the PT.
Jessie
June 24, 2024 at 1:50 amIts surprising to see instructors leave when it seems like such a good gig, the fitness industry is a tough one I’m sure! I’m sure its frustrating to lose a favorite!
San
June 30, 2024 at 6:53 pmYeah, I am wondering if there’s just some pairing down going on at Peloton – although it seems counterintuitive to let the really popular instructors go.
Debbie
June 24, 2024 at 6:33 amIt’s got to be frustrating when your favorite instructors leave the platform. I’m such a creature of habit that that would really bother me. Here’s hoping you find another yoga teacher who inspires you as much as Kristin.
San
June 30, 2024 at 6:53 pmThank you Debbie.
jenn
June 24, 2024 at 4:57 pmUgh. I’m sorry your favorite instructor is leaving. I don’t see nearly as much Peloton content as I used to, so I don’t follow the comings and goings.
Another great week for you, even if it was supposed to be easier!
San
June 30, 2024 at 6:54 pmThere’s plenty of great instructors, but we’re creatures of habits ;)
Rachel
June 26, 2024 at 9:53 pmI am obviously a peleton newbie here but I am very sad to hear Kristin is leaving – she was the first instructor I tried and I really like her pilates and yoga classes! She also had twins and does a lot of the postnatal classes too. I don’t know how long old classes stay around – I’ve never done a live class yet – so hopefully I can keep doing the classes I love for a while. I just started doing Ross’s meditation classes too. I guess I’ll have to try some new instructors soon but I’m sad that the to I liked immediately are both going :(
Well done on your trackers!
San
June 30, 2024 at 6:54 pmAh, yeah, that’s a bummer that she’s leaving now that you got introduced to her. I do hope her classes will stay around for quite a while!
