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

We were still in SoCal at the beginning of the week and came back home on Tuesday. Because of my flexible work schedule, I was able to swap my “RDO” (regular day off) to save an extra vacation day, but that meant I had to work on Friday. This also meant a lot of rearranging my workout schedule again in order to finish up the last week of the Team Wilpers Summer Run Challenge and also complete two rides for week 4 of the Power Zone Challenge. But as you can guess, I am nothing but good at pivoting these days!

Monday

• 10 Min Daily Meditation – Denis (8/17/25)
• 10 Min Savasana – Anna (1/31/24)

We were still in SoCal and had a bunch of errands to run before leaving town again, so Monday was a rest day.

Tuesday

• 10 Morning Meditation – Aditi (8/18/25)
• 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Susie (7/23/25)
• Team Wilpers Summer Run Challenge 2025 – W8R1 | V02 Max Intervals

    • 8 min @ Easy Pace
    • 2 Min @ Half Marathon Pace
    • 6 x 1 Min @ V02 Max Pace / 1 Min @ Walk
    • 8 Min @ Easy Pace
• Extra 10: Listening Party Run – Becs (8/5/25)
• 10 Min Focus Flow: Hips – Denis (12/19/23) — Personal Streak

We were heading back home today but I had time in the morning to do my Team Wilpers Run before we left. I somehow messed up the first two (of six) intervals, but managed a nice progression segment before the V02 Max Intervals. I added on an Extra 10 run and one of my favorite focus flows for hips with Denis. It’s bookmarked and you should take it.

Wednesday

• 20 Min 80s Walk – Jon (7/29/22)
• 10 Min Savasana – Kristin (10/26/22)

I was reunited with my Peloton and back on my bike again on Wednesday morning for a 45-minute Power Zone Endurance Ride. I also added a short core class and a 20-minute lunchtime walk to my workout day.

Today also marked my 1700 day streak! I’ve used the Peloton Bike + App consistently since the end of 2020. I don’t think you need any more proof that the platform works for me.

Thursday

• 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Erik (8/3/25)
• Team Wilpers Summer Run Challenge W8R2 | Over/Under Intervals

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

I had another over/under interval run for the Team Wilpers Summer Run Challenge on my training plan in the morning. I also met up (virtually) with #BCBabes Sherry and Kristin for a 30-minute lunchtime walk. Rebecca’s Summer Strut Class was fun. I highly recommend it if a great playlist and lots of little nuggets of wisdom are your thing!

Friday

• 10 Min Savasana – Kristin (10/26/22) — Personal Streak 

I ran some easy miles before work and took the Backstreet Boys Walk & Run as a lunchtime walk (because Lindsay had recommended it and she was going to see BSB at the Sphere in Las Vegas Friday night! How exciting!).

Saturday

• 10 Min Morning Meditation – Nico (8/23/25)
• 10 Min Restorative – Denis (7/11/23) — Personal Streak

Today was an unplanned rest day. I had commitments in the morning and then a bunch of errands to run in the afternoon. I was hoping to fit in a run (on the tread) in the afternoon, but that didn’t happen. Sometimes life gets in the way.

Sunday

• 10 Min Morning Meditation – Chelsea (7/2/24)
• 5 Min Warm Up Ride – Denis (8/18/25)
• 30 Min Power Zone Ride – Matt (11/5/24) — PZ-W4Ride2
• 5 Min Cool Down Ride – Leanne (6/10/25)

I met up with Tanja this morning to finish week 4 of the Power Zone Pack Challenge. We had a spicy ride on the schedule – intervals in Zones 5 + 6 – but we both actually quite enjoyed it. And doesn’t the graph look pretty?

• TW Summer Run Challenge W8R3 | 20-minute Distance Test
  • 45 Min 90s Run – Joslyn (4/13/25) — Streakers Camp
    • 10 Min @ Easy Pace
    • 5 Min @ Marathon Pace
    • 3 x 15 sec Striders / 45 sec @ Easy Pace
    • 2 Min Rest
    • 20 Min Distance Test
    • 5 Min Jog @ Easy Pace

Since my running plans were derailed on Saturday, I cranked out two workouts again today. Yeah, yeah, I said I wouldn’t do that again, but it was the last day to finish the 8-week TW Summer Run Challenge.
Every challenge starts and ends with a 20-minute distance test as a measuring stick for how well you executed your training. You run as far (and as fast) as you can for 20 minutes (after proper warm-up) and based on that distance (and pace), you calculate how you compare to the test at the beginning of the challenge. My pace increased by 2%. Not much, but it translates to a 13 sec/mi pace increase. I’ll take it. I wanted to see if I am back to where I was before the craziness of 2025 derailed my training a bit, and I am happy to say I am almost back on track.

I joined for Serenity Sunday again in the afternoon, oh, and I took advantage of having access to a pool and went for a nice evening swim (+ dip in the hot tub). A great end to the weekend!

• 15 Min 80s Walk – Jon (3/25/25)
• 10 MIn Stretch for Tennis & Pickle Ball – Olivia (6/30/25) — Camp Retreat
• 20 Min Restorative – Anna (11/29/21) — Personal Streak/Serenity Sunday
• 10 Min Body Scan Meditation – Ross (8/24/23) — Serenity Sunday
• 15 Min Evening Swim

Yeah, let’s not talk about the Stronger into Summer tracker. I’ve been slacking on my strength workouts. I might have just added too much to my plate in the last few weeks, but I am hoping to add more strength training again this next week.
