Monday
Off day for running, but wanted to try out some of the different offerings in the Peloton app.
5 minutes core.
10 minute yoga flow
10 minute strength for runner's class
Did these workouts at various points throughout the day, but they add up to 30 minutes.
2.25 mile evening walk
Pictures from my walk
I decided to try a 5 minute meditation class. And was totally ready to go to sleep afterwards. First meditation class done!
Tuesday
Started the day with 10 minutes of yoga.
Did a 20 minute guided walk at lunch. It was raining. Which is fine for me. Not as fun as sunny—but didn't see anyone outside, so that's a perk. The guided walk was okay. It was made for a treadmill and turning up the speed and inclines. The music was fun, though.
After work I did 4.8 miles of trails. I was very glad not to see many people out. Most of my run, I did not have to dodge people. I would say the trails were sparser than normal. I did see a few groups of 3,4 off in a distance.
I did 10 minutes of stretching and a few minutes of rolling post run.
Wednesday
10 minutes of morning yoga before my work day.
1.5 mile lunch walk
Evening: I did the speed workout, which I probably should have done yesterday.
Mile warmup at then I saw my friend training for a 1 mile race and he did .1 mile repeats, which sounded really interesting to me. And there's a field next to my house, where I have that much room to run. He did 6 repeats. I did 13 .1 mile intervals, with running back to the start .1 mile as my cool down. Which I remember in high school, I did 15x100 meter. And this is a little longer (160 meters). (I did that to get to 2.5 miles, which is what my speed workouts normally are.) Anyway, it was a good workout for me. I haven't done anything short in forever. I finally got to sub 6 speed. Maybe I can do 200s next week.
(I realize after the fact he was doing short hill repeats, but it's speed, it's running, it's fine!)
I did a 10 minute post run stretch class in the Peleton app. It was okay. The stretches were held a lot longer than the 5 minute class. I felt the class could have been shortened a few minutes.
Thursday
I did 10 minutes of morning yoga before work.
I didn't have time for a lunch walk.
At 6 p.m., I ran 4+ miles. I really didn't want to run. But made myself. The temperature was nice. The run was fine. I am looking forward to having Friday off.
I did a 10 minute post run stretch class on the Peloton App. First class I've HATED. I basically had a tantrum and was slapping keys on my keyboard. I had the video up on my laptop and the instructor wasn't explaining things well. And I was having trouble pausing and going back. The video wouldn't let me. So I DID NOT like this class because there were 3 stretches that were brand new to me and not explained well at all. (Hi. I've been doing fitness classes for seven years. I'm happy to learn a new stretch, but please explain it.) So I won't be doing that class again.
10 minute yoga with core this morning before work.
Evening walk. Photos below.
Saturday
Did my long run on trails. Solo. Listening to some podcasts. It was a pretty morning. Didn't see too many out. Probably fewer than normal. I've done a lot of 10 mile runs lately so decided to try 11.
Sunday
Did a morning interval workout. The same one as last week. It still killed me. I am not tough enough.
Did my first interval at 7:44 pace, second at 7:21 pace, third at 7:38 pace. And then 7:21, 7:16 and 7:34 pace. Kicked my butt. Still out of shape. 4 miles. average of 8:29 pace.
I did a 10 minute stretch afterwards.
And then 10 minutes of strength for runners. It was mostly squats and pushups. (Too many pushups in my opinion. How does that help running?)
Miles this week: 29
Yoga: 5 short classes,
Strength: 2 x 10 minutes, 1one 5 minute core class.
4 walks (not counted in running mileage)
