I felt completely back to normal this week (thank goodness) and was able to resume my training plan. This is technically week 14 of my marathon training plan, but since I had to take an unexpected break last week and this week would have been a pull-back week anyway, I just decided to treat my “forced break” as the pull-back and complete week 13 of the training plan this week. The workouts included a progression run, a tempo run, and then a long run – the longest run of the training cycle (20 miles).
Monday
- 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Matt (4/15/24)
- Team Wilpers Intermediate Marathon Training W13R1 | Progression Run
- 15 Min 90s Run – Matt (7/14/26)
- 60 Min 90s Run – Susie (9/19/16) — Give Thanks & Get Moving
- 5 Min Post-Run Stretch – Rebecca (9/2/26)
- 20 Min 80s Walk – Joslyn (11/1/26)
- 10 Min Savasana – Kirra (9/23/21) — The Streak
It started this week with a progression run: 3 miles @ marathon pace, then 2 miles @ half marathon pace. It went well. I also went for a lunchtime walk with my coworker and finished the day with a 10-minute savasana class.
Tuesday
- 20 Min Morning Yoga Flow – Mariana (10/29/26) — Self Care & Gratitude/The Streak
- 20 Min Upper Body: Week 2, Day 2 – Ben (12/2/23) — PUTV10
I chose a great morning yoga flow with Mariana this morning (to wake up) and followed it up with an Upper Body workout. Unfortunately, I fell off the bandwagon with the Pump Up The Volume 10 (PUTV10) program last week, but I am ready to pick it up again.
Wednesday
- 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Mattt (4/15/24)
- Team Wilpers Intermediate Marathon Training W13R3 | Easy Run

I stayed up a little late on Tuesday night to watch election coverage, so I switched my runs around and did four easy miles this morning.
Thursday
- 5 Min Pre-Run Warm Up – Matt (4/15/24)
- Team Wilpers Intermediate Marathon Training W13R2 | Tempo Run

- 10 Min Restorative Yoga – Denis (11/5/26) — The Streak/Focus Tracker
I had a tempo run (5 miles @ marathon pace) on deck today, and it was a bit of a struggle to get myself not to skip it. Yes, I have those days where I debate with myself, but luckily these days are rare, and I usually win :)

I finished week 3 of the Pump Up The Volume 10 program this morning and then went to the gym for 3 easy miles on the treadmill. I also enjoyed a nice long, restorative yoga class in the evening.
Saturday
- 10 Min Gratitude Meditation – Anna (2/6/25) — Self Care & Gratitude
- 15 Min Restorative – Denis (9/22/21) — The Streak/Focus Tracker
I went to hang out with some blogger friends today (see yesterday’s post), so I only did a meditation and some light yoga.

Today was my long run – 20 miles. I wasn’t sure if I just wanted to get the mileage in or test my race pace, so I decided to just start running and see how I felt. Well, my feeling said that I was ready to push the pace a little, and I ended up running a pretty steady pace. I was quite pleased with this run. I have to say, though, that it was glorious running weather (cool, but sunny!) and that probably helped a lot.
I did take a nap in the afternoon, and later joined the Streakers for Serenity Sunday.
