2026 | Weekly Run Down 4/52 –  PeloFondo Capstone

This week was PeloFondo Weekend! In case you forgot what PeloFondo is, it’s a live virtual event for both indoor and outdoor cyclists, focused on long-distance mileage. You pledge to ride a set number of miles over the weekend, either by yourself or with a team. Of course, I signed up with my Streakers365 team again for this event. I “only” pledged 50 miles because of all the other things I am pursuing right now. Ahem. (It was also week 3 of half marathon training (4 runs) and week 3 of “The One with the PZP” Power Zone Challenge (3 rides)).

You probably think I am going a little overboard, and maybe I am, but for the first time in a long time, I feel like I am locked into my training and making strides. This feels so much better than just “floating” (which I did a lot last year).

Monday

• 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Jon (10/8/25)
• Team Wilpers Half Marathon Training W3R1 | Endurance Run + Strides
  • 30 Min Billie Eilish Run – Becs (1/25/20) — Artist Series Mania
  • 30 Min Pop Run – Jon (1/16/26)
• 20 Min Michael Bublé Full Body Stretch – Adrian (12/10/25) — Wellness Wisdom
• 20 Min Restorative – Nico (4/2/24)

I had the day off (MLK Jr Day) and took advantage and let myself sleep in. In the late morning, I set out for my endurance run with strides. I picked Adrian‘s Michael Bublé Stretch for the Wellness Wisdom tracker, and it was great as a post-run stretch! 

Tuesday

• 10 Min RIOPY Meditation – Aditi (1/28/21) — Artist Series Mania
• 5 Min Warm Up Ride – Tunde (11/17/25)
• 30 Min Power Zone 90s Ride – Erik (6/10/25) — PZ-W3R1
• 5 Min Cool Down Ride – Erik (6/25/25)
• 10 Min Focus Flow: For Riders – Denis (8/26/25) — Personal Streak
• 20 Min Lower Body: Week 3, Day 1 – Adrian (10/3/22) — PUTV1

My Streakers friend Jaime (#theREALnessie) joined me this morning for the Power Zone 90s Ride. It was great not to have to tackle the three 4-minute Zone 4 intervals by myself. I did one of my favorite yoga flows for riders (as a stretch) and then completed the lower body workout for week 3 of PUTV1. I am a fan of RDLs (Romanian Deadlifts) and SLRDLs (Single Leg Romanian Deadlifts), not so much of squat jumps, in case you care to know. 

Wednesday

• 10 Min Gratitude Meditation – Denis (1/20/26)
• 10 Min Morning Yoga Flow – Chelsea (9/27/23) — Personal Streak
• 5 Min Warm Up Walk – Jon (4/5/23)
• Team Wilpers Half Marathon Training W3R2 | Progression Run
  • 15 Min Classic Rock Run – Jon (1/6/26)
  • 30 Min Live DJ Run: Armada Music – Jon (9/5/25) — Artist Series Mania
• 5 Min Cool Down Walk – Adrian (1/19/26)
• 5 Min Post-Run Stretch  – Adrian (7/23/25)

Today I had a progression run on my training plan, and I love doing those on the tread because it’s easier to hit paces: set it and forget it. 

Thursday

• 10 Min Peace Meditation – Anna (1/13/26)
• 20 Min Upper Body: Week 3, Day 2 – Adrian (10/3/22) — PUTV1
• 5 Min Upper Body Stretch – Adrian (7/9/24) — Wellness Wisdom 
• 5 Min Warm Up Walk – JJ (5/24/23)
• Team Wilpers Half Marathon Training W3R3 | Endurance Run
  • 45 Min 80s Run – Erik (12/10/24)
• 5 Min Cool Down Walk – JJ (9/30/24)
• 5 Min Post-Run Stretch  – JJ (1/21/26)
• 10 Min Savasana – Anna (1/31/24) — Personal Streak

I started my day with meditation and then did 20 minutes of upper body strength for week 3 of PUTV1. I used my new 15 lbs weights today, and I can feel a difference. It was time to step it up a little bit. I had been “cheating” with my lower weights for too long. 

I also went on the tread for a 45-minute endurance run. Nothing exciting, just steady work.

Friday

• 20 Min Evening Yoga Flow – Anna (3/4/25) — Personal Streak
• 15 Min Sleep Meditation – Denis (12/13/25)

Today turned out to be a rest day. I had plans to do a Power Zone ride, but I pushed that to Saturday to make the miles count for PeloFondo.

Saturday

• 5 Min Warm Up Ride – Hannah F (8/4/25) — PeloFondo
• 30 Min Power Zone Ride – Hannah F (12/20/25) — PZ-W3R2/PeloFondo
• 30 Min Low Impact Ride – Denis (1/15/26)– PeloFondo
• 20 Min 90s Ride – Bradley (1/23/26) — PeloFondo

I got on the bike in the late morning to complete my Power Zone Ride and start collecting miles for Pelofondo. I had pledged 50 miles for the weekend and planned to get half of those on Saturday, Day 1. After the Powe Zone Ride, I kept it low key with a Low Impact and a 90s Ride.

• Team Wilpers Half Marathon Training W3R4 | Long Run
  • 30 Min Spice Girls Run – Becs (7/15/21) — Artist Series Mania
  • 30 Min 90s Run – Susie (11/28/25)
  • 20 Min 90s Pop Run – Jon (1/20/26)
• 5 Min Cool Down Walk – JJ (9/30/24)
• 5 Min Post-Run Stretch – Jess S (11/12/25)
• 10 Min Restorative – Kristin (11/8/23) — Personal Streak

In the afternoon, I completed my long run for half marathon training. Yeah, yeah, it wasn’t ideal to cycle in the morning when I had 8 miles of running on the calendar as well, but I did take that rest day on Friday, so it’s all good. I felt pretty good throughout my run. I even started out a little too fast.

Sunday

• 20 Min Reconnect Ride – Denis (1/25/26) — PeloFondo 
• 30 Min Eminem Ride – Denis (1/30/22) — Artist Series Mania/PeloFondo
• 45 Min Power Zone Endurance Ride – Denis (11/21/25) — PZ-W3R3/PeloFondo
• 20 Min Full Body Strength: Week 3, Day 3 – Adrian (10/3/22) — PUTV1
• 5 Min Cool Down Ride – Bradley (1/1/26) — PeloFondo

I met up with the #BCBabes¹ and some other Streakers for the Peloton “Reconnect Ride” taught by Denis Morton at the Instructor Summit earlier this week, with most NYC-based instructors in the studio. That was so much fun, especially to see some of the non-bike instructors on the bike (like Adrian, Becs, and the yoga team). That ride was at 7 am PST (on a Sunday!), so I had to get up extra early, but the things we do for Peloton community fun, amirite?

Sherry and I tackled the Eminem Ride afterwards for more PeloFondo miles and then she also joined Tanja (#willspin4it), my sister (#nidigreto), and me for a 45-minute Power Zone Endurance Ride. I finished with a 20-minute full-body strength workout for week 3 of PUTV1. Yeah, I might have had to get up early, but was also done with my workouts at 9 am – that was a win.

• 20 Min Restorative – Chelsea (1/13/21) — Personal Streak/ Serenity Sunday
• 10 Min Body Scan Meditation – Kristin (8/29/22) — Serenity Sunday
