Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. Hello September! You kind of snuck up on me this year.
Monday- 10 min hip activation + 30 min full body ST + 40 min Peloton cycle + 15 min yoga for hips
I do love to start out my week with a hard core Monday workout. I am keeping up my hip/glute exercises before my cycling and it’s helping. (I think). Intense full body workout and yoga for hips. Power zone training on the bike week 2. Keep showing up!
Tuesday- 3 mile run/walk intervals + 15 min core + 15 min yoga for hips
Another short but pain free run/walk (yeah). I am continuing to keep my intervals short and my distance short while I work my way back. Love to be back out with the girls.
Wednesday- Power Zone endurance Peloton 35 m + 20 min full body ST + 15 yoga for hips
Not sure if I am doing these power zone classes correctly but I keep pushing through. Yoga for hips is halfway through and starting to feel some real differences.
Thursday- rest day + 15 min yoga for hips
Friday- 40 min Peloton cycle + 20 m full body + 15 min yoga for hips
Shared my flashback Friday photo-1st and last race of 2020 was in February at the New Orleans Rock n Roll half. Who knew what was to come of the rest of the year?
Saturday-45 min peloton HIIT & Hills + 20 min arms + 10 m core + 15 min yoga for hips
HIIT and Hills classes are always a sweat fest. Followed by some great strength training.
Sunday-on the plan elliptical + core + yoga for hips
I’ve just got a few more days left of my yoga for hips challenge. Looking forward to sharing what I’ve learned.
Up this week: Don’t miss 17 veggie sandwich ideas on tomorrow’s meatless Monday. Wednesday I will be sharing what I learned in my running clinic. Friday I will share my Rollga foam roller review. Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend. Hello September!
My last race was in July 2019! However, I’m more than happy that my last races were a marathon that went to plan, a scary off-road adventure that I conquered, even though I didn’t love it, and my ultra. Seems a good set to go out on. Lovely strong work again.
definitely a great streak to go out on!
My last live race was in February. Supposedly, I have one in October…stay tuned!
I’m glad to hear your hip is feeling better!
OH wow that is exciting!
It’s great that your run-back rally is going well! I think all the hip strength work (and the yoga) definitely are playing a part. Keep up all the great work!!
I definitely think it has helped tremendously
I think our lasts were the same weekend. I had a handful before that, but like NOLA for you, Bermuda was the Big Deal. I might do a local 5K if I’m here for it, but looking more likely that 2021 is for races returns. NYRR has cancelled all even before their scandal and I don’t always love the NYC RUns ones, so we’ll see. Glad you’re getting pain free running and that the glute hips exercises working
I know who knew the would be the last hurrah of 2020?!
Who knew the kind of masks we’d be wearing for the rest of the year (and beyond) after those fun Mardi Gras masks in your picture? Such a different world!
I know so crazy!
I’m still waiting for my Rollga!
Sounds like a really productive week, Deborah. Glad your hips are coming along.
At least you did get to run a real race this year. 🙂
My hip are coming along. I think you will like the Rollga too
My last race was Atlanta, essentially mere days before everything shut down. I wish I would have cherished it more, if only I knew it would be my only marathon in 2020!
Have you already done the prolotherapy? I must be behind, I wanted to hear more about that!
I do remember you running this race too. Yes if only we knew!
Another great week of workouts for you! I agree with you about the PZ training, I think I’m doing it right but now 100% sure.
I loved the photo that you shared for FBF. I hope that we can get back to fun races like that again soon – I definitely miss it. I actually didn’t have any official races this year. I was supposed to do a St Patrick’s Day 5K but that was right around the time that everything hit so it was cancelled.
I know it’s crazy how everything just stopped! I will be starting week 3 of PZ and hoping I love it more as I continue on
Yep, who could have guessed that running just one in person race would be the big running brag of 2020? I got my one very frosty February 5k in and that was all she wrote. Yes I’ve done a bit of virtual racing which is a whole lot better than nothing but it will be so good when in person racing can happen again.
You’ve got some good posts lined up for next week! Can’t wait to read them.
I know if only we knew back in February what was coming our way this year!
Who knew that the New Orleans race would be your only race of the year. I think I remember that you were on the fence about going because you were recovering from an injury. Aren’t you glad you did it? My last real race was the Charlotte Turkey Dash 4-Miler on Thanksgiving Day. Apparently, I didn’t run in the Run with Santa and I can’t remember why… I do remember that I was injured by the time of the New Year’s Day race that I usually run, but I don’t remember the injury happening until late December.
Thanks for the linkup and have a great week!
Yes I am glad that I went to New Orleans and ran it. Who knew?
I am enjoying the yoga too. I might switch to doing it in the evenings once the live sessions end, but even doing it in the morning my hips are less achy later.
I totally agree. I do it after my other workouts as a stretch
I have a Rollga foam roller! Well, I did, until my daughter stole it from me. But hey, it’s helping someone in the family! I think I might get another race or two in this year still. Several of them are opening up registration around here.
oh wow hope that works out!
My last race was almost a year ago. I didnt want to rush back into races last year, thinking I would have plenty of chances this year to race! There was no way to know all this would happen!
definitely no way to predict this!~
Is there a right/wrong way to do the Power Zone classes? I had no idea. I am not sure when I will check them out. I feel like I keep making excuses but I want things to be going smoother in school. Everything is so hectic and busy right now.
My last race was in Atlanta in March. Little did I know what was going the rest of the year.
I do remember your race in Atlanta!
I’m starting a 7-day online yoga workshop today! I’m not much of a yoga person so let’s see how it goes! Happy September to you!
OH good luck to you let us know how it goes
It’s crazy to think my last in-person race was also in February — seems so long ago!
Happy to hear you are progressing with your hip issues – sounds like the yoga is helping! I never got the login/sign-up issues worked out on that challenge 🙁 but I’m going to keep exploring what Peloton has to offer.
Have a great week!
ah too bad. I think she is planning another one I will let you know in advance this time
I think I was in Bermuda running ZOOMA around the same time you ran RnRNOLA. And then all hell broke loose! Glad the hip yoga is proving to be beneficial. SOrry for late comment. I can’t seem to load your page via Chrome anymore.
hmm that’s odd I wonder why but have no idea. Sometimes I have to clear my cache to get some pages
My hips have been tired lately. Not hurting, just tired. I carry so much stress in my hips, and that’s just how I’ve always been.
I’m embarrassed to do yoga, because of the lack of flexibility in my ankle. Of course, if I just got over myself, I could probably gain that strength again. Sigh.
That is one of the reasons I really enjoyed the at home yoga challenge. No one to make me feel self conscious
