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

I joined the “Raiders of the Lost Zone” Power Zone Challenge (which officially started this week) and opted for the 2 rides/ 2 runs option. It allows me to continue the Team Wilpers Run Challenge and keep my focus on running, while still fitting in two PZ rides every week. It seems like a good balance for me right now!

I completed the first ride last Sunday because I was out of town this week and needed to get a head start. I was able to run on Monday and then had four very low-key workout days (as in, meditation and 10 minutes of yoga. That was it.) Regular training picked up again on Saturday.

Monday

• 10 Min Gratitude Meditation – Nico (5/2/25)
• 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Rebecca (7/17/24)

    • 7 Min @ Easy Pace
• 5 Min Cool Down Walk – Matt (7/21/25)
• 10 Min Savasana – Ross (6/21/21) — Personal Streak

I didn’t leave for my work trip until later in the morning, so I was able to get my scheduled intervals run completed in the morning: 30-60-90 seconds speed play. Doesn’t that look like fun? Or chaos, depending on how you look at it.

Tuesday

• 10 Min Morning Meditation – Ross (1/20/24)
• 10 Min Standing Yoga – Denis (6/11/21) — Personal Streak
• 10 Min Sleep Meditation – Kristin (9/28/22)

I was out of town conducting fieldwork this week, which always means early mornings and long evenings and not much time to fit in workouts. A morning meditation and a standing yoga session were all I could fit into my days.

Wednesday

• 10 Min Morning Meditation – Denis (5/9/25)
• 10 Min Standing Yoga – Mariana (10/7/21) — Personal Streak

Thursday

• 10 Min Daily Meditation – Chelsea (7/27/25)

Friday

• 15 Min Morning Meditation – Aditi (7/29/25)
• 10 Min Savasana – Kristin (4/22/21) — Personal Streak

I had the best intentions of returning to my workout schedule today, but I was tired from a long week and decided that sleeping in and resting were more important today.

Saturday

• 10 Min Peace Meditation – Anna (5/7/24)
• 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Rebecca (7/17/24)
• TW Summer Run Challenge W5R2 | Over/Under Intervals
  • 30 Min Outdoor Run Club – Jon (6/7/25) — Streakers Camp

    • 5 Min @ Marathon Pace
    • 3x 1 Min @ Threshold Pace/ 1 Min Marathon Pace
    • 3 Min @ Easy Pace
    • 4 x 1 Min @ Threshold Pace/ 1 Min Marathon Pace
    • 3 Min @ Easy Pace

• TW Summer Run Challenge 2025 – W5R3 | Long Run
  • 45 Min Endurance Run – Matt (7/1/25) — PZ-W1Run2
    • 5 Min @ Easy Pace (low end/30 sec slower)
    • 15 Min @ Easy Pace (middle/15 sec slower)
    • 15 Min @ Easy Pace (upper end)
    • 10 Min @ Marathon Pace
• 5 Min Cool Down Walk – Jon (4/29/25)
• 10 Min Focus Flow: For Runners  – Denis (4/9/24) — Personal Streak/Camp Retreat

I did something today that every coach will advise against: I doubled up on workouts that were supposed to happen spaced out during the week. Well, sometimes life gets in the way, but I still wanted to “complete” my training for this week, and since I wanted to extend distance on my weekly long runs anyway, I decided to do the Over/Under Intervals and Long Run back-to-back for a total of 8 miles. It worked out pretty well, but generally I’d say: don’t repeat this at home, peeps!

Sunday

• 10 Min Peace Meditation – Ross (12/10/23)
• 5 Min Warm Up Ride – Olivia (9/2/24)
• 30 Min Power Zone Endurance Classic Rock Ride – Denis (6/28/25) — PZ-W1Ride2
• 10 Min Build Up to Push Ups: Week 1 Day 2 – Joslyn 
• 20 Min Restorative – Aditi (12/10/21) — Serenity Sunday/Personal Streak
• 10 Min Relaxing Meditation – Kristin (3/7/2021) — Serenity Sunday

I met up with Tanja this morning for week 1, ride 2 of the PZ Challenge, and I highly recommend this Power Zone Endurance class with Denis (Morton). He was in such an excellent mood, and the playlist was awesome. I also did Day 2 of the Build Up to Push Ups Challenge and later joined my Streakers365 friends for Serenity Sunday.

Current Challenges + Trackers

I finished all of my trackers for July and picked three new ones for August: the Streakers Camp, Camp Retreat Self Care, and I’ll be continuing my Daily Yoga Streak and the Stronger into Summer tracker (which runs over three months). There are a couple more trackers I have my eye on (bootcamp and core), but I am trying not to be realistic. It’s a struggle, ha.
