This week was another „pull back“ week on my training schedule, which meant only easy miles and a shorter long run. This was perfect timing, because I was gone for two nights this weekend and I had to work around that. I am always looking forward to pull-back weeks because it gives your body a little more rest, but just running “easy miles” is also not quite as entertaining as when you have intervals or a tempo run on your training plan. But hey, I got to hang out with girlfriends and go hiking this weekend – that was a nice change!
Monday
- 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Matt (5/14/25)
- Team Wilpers Intermediate Marathon Training W10R1 | Easy Run
- 30 Min Outdoor Run Club – Jon (1/31/26) — PZ Challenge
- 20 Min 90s Run – Andy (9/28/26)
- 20 Min 80s Run – Susie (10/1/26)
- 10 Min Focus Flow: For Hips – Denis (12/10/23) — The Streak/Trick or Treat/No Tricks, All Treats
I hopped on the treadmill for a 7-mile easy run this morning. I was happy it was an easy run, but 7 miles on the tread can get long, so I broke it up into more manageable chunks by choosing three shorter Peloton run classes with different instructors and music themes. The yoga flow afterward counted for my personal yoga streak, the self-care tracker, and it was a class fellow Streaker @Miimiiphilly had taken, so I could mark it off for the Trick or Treat tracker as well. Triple-dipping rarely works out, so I was particularly thrilled this morning.
Tuesday
- 10 Min Morning Yoga – Mariana (9/22/26) — The Streak
- 20 Min Full Body Strength – Joslyn (9/29/26)
- 10 Min Full Body Stretch – Ally (4/26/26) — No Tricks, All Treats
Today was a low-key day with some morning yoga, a little strength workout and some stretching. I also high-fived a fellow Streaker, #FullSendFriend, on the Leaderboard (outside of class) during her 60-minute Sweat Steady Ride for the Trick or Treat tracker.
Wednesday
- 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Matt (5/14/25)
- 10 Min Arms & Shoulders Strength – JJ (10/6/26)
- Team Wilpers Intermediate Marathon Training W10R3 | Easy Run

- 5 Min Post-Run Stretch – Becs (8/5/26)
- 10 Min Savasana – Kristin (10/26/22) — The Streak
When I got to the gym at 6 a.m. this morning, six (!) people were there, and both treads were occupied. What to do? I contemplated going home and hopping on the Peloton instead, but then decided to do a quick upper body strength class in hopes that one of the treads would free up. And it eventually did, and I was able to get my run in. However, I had to switch my 7-mile run with the 4 miles I had planned for tomorrow, because I did not have enough time left for 7 miles.
Thursday

- Team Wilpers Intermediate Marathon Training W10R3 | Easy Run

- 30 Min Outdoor Walking
- 10 Min Savasana – Denis (5/20/22) — The Streak
I was at the gym at 5:30 a.m. this morning, and there were only two women there and only one of the treads was taken. Halleluja. Then the two women left, and I was alone for almost an hour between 6 and 7 a.m. Make it make sense.

I spent the weekend with some girlfriend at Lake Tahoe. We went hiking on the Mt Rose Trail near Lake Tahoe today. It was a beautiful, cool but sunny day and perfect hiking weather.
