2026 | Weekly Run Down 28/52 – Race Week

This week was a mix of a few harder workout days, two active rest days, and a 10k race. I hadn’t raced a 10k in a while and it was so much fun. I completed week 5 of the Team Wilpers Summer Run Challenge, and chipped away at my three (Streakers365) trackers. However, I skipped one of the Pump Up The Volume 6 classes, so I’ll add this to my workout stack first thing tomorrow morning.

Monday

• 10 Min Family Meditation – Kristin (8/31/21) — Star-Spangled Self Care
• 20 Min 4th of July Yoga Flow – Kristin (7/2/22) — United We Streak/The Streak
• 10 Min Core Strength – Jess S (5/16/26)
• 15 Min Pop Walk – Susie (11/18/25)

I started my week off easy with a nice yoga flow and a little bit of core work. I also went for a quick lunchtime walk.

Tuesday

• 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Matt (5/14/25)
• TW Summer Run Challenge W5R1 | Endurance Run + Striders
  • 20 Min Fourth of July Run – Andy (7/4/24) — United We Streak
  • 30 Min 80s Run – Joslyn (7/13/26)
• 5 Min Basics: Garland Pose – Kristin (10/26/22) — The Streak

It was a beautiful start to my day: just some easy miles and striders this morning.

Wednesday

• 30 Min Bootcamp: 50/50 – Tunde (9/2/25) — United We Streak
• 20 Min Upper Body Strength: W2D1 – Rad (4/3/23) — PUTV6
• 10 Min Morning Yoga Flow – Anna (7/9/26) — The Streak
• 15 Min Walk – Jon (3/14/26)

I met up with my friend #BCBabe¹ Lindsay for a bike bootcamp this morning. We counted 102 snatches during the last 6-minute EMOM (every minute on the minute). Holy mo. I felt my arms for the rest of the day, especially because I had another 20-minute upper body workout scheduled right after the bootcamp. I finished with a quick yoga flow and also got some more steps in with a post-dinner walk. 

Thursday

• 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Matt (5/14/25)
• TW Summer Run Challenge 2026 W5R2 | V02 Max
  • 45 Min Rock Run – Becs (6/30/26)
• 10 Min British Summer Fest Stretch – JJ (6/13/25) —United We Streak
• 10 Min Restorative – Denis (3/27/26) — The Streak

Usually, I like interval work, but I did not want to do this workout this morning. Some running friends in the Team Wilpers Facebook Group already joked that they had barely survived these 2- and 3-minute-long V02 Max blocks, but as with most things in life, the best way out is through (coined by poet Robert Frost). In German, we say „clench your butt cheeks and get it done“. Haha. Let’s just say, anticipation can often be worse than reality, and while these intervals were tough, I got them done. 

Friday

• 10 Min Standing Yoga – Mariana (1/27/22) — The Streak
• 10 Min Hip Mobility – Rebecca (11/12/25) — Star-Spangled Self Care

I had a busy day and only had time for a quick yoga session and a mobility stretch before dinner.

Saturday

• 20 Min Lower Body Strength W2D2 – Tunde (4/3/23) — PUTV6
• 10 Min Focus Flow: For Runners – Denis (4/10/23) — The Streak
• TW Summer Run Challenge W5R3 | Endurance Run
  • 53 Min Davis Moo-nlight Run
    • 30 Min Top 10 Songs of Summer Run – Jon (7/1/25) — United We Streak
    • 30 Min 90s Run – Susie (5/26/23)

I “cheated” on my 45-minute easy-pace long run this week, because I had a race on the calendar. I participated in the Davis Moo-nlight Run again, and I ran the 10k. You might remember that I participate every year. It’s a night race and so much fun. Recap to follow. 

Sunday

• 20 Min Restorative – Kirra (3/26/24) — The Streak
• 10 Min Relaxing Meditation – Chelsea (1/6/26)
• 15 Min 80s Walk – Joslyn (4/27/26)

I took it easy today. I slept in, I watched the World Cup final, and I participated in Serenity Sunday – yoga and meditation – in the afternoon. And later, I went for a post-dinner walk.
