Thanks for joining Kim and me for the Weekly Run Down today. This week was busy with the Flex and Flow Virtual Camping and a few Running Clinics.I also started the Peloton Power Zone training program. Recaps on all of these to come soon. Let’s get right to it!
Virtual Camping & Running Clinic
Monday-20 min core + 30 min Peloton cycle + Flex & Flow yoga + 1.5 mile walk
I am starting the Peloton Power Zone program today. (Kim and I are doing it together but our schedules are off but we hope to finish the same week). The initial test was super hard and had me sweating for sure. Great start to my Monday. Today also kicked off the Flex & Flow virtual summer camp. More on that next week!
Tuesday- Running clinic + 20 min core and 3 mile walk
It is always interesting to learn more about how to improve your running form. We had a great private running clinic for our MRTT group with 5 of us. More to come on what I learned. I also tried out the new Under Armour sports specific mask. Full review coming soon.
Wednesday-Zoom Running clinic + 10 min arms + 10 min core + 45 min Endurance Cycle + 15 min yoga hips
Started by 2 weeks of 15 min a day of yoga for hips challenge. Wow I need this one desperately. More to come. Also keeping up with my Power Zone training and checking out the endurance class.
Thursday- 3 mile run + 10 min lower body strength + 10 min core + 15 min yoga for hips + 2 mile afternoon walk
Yay to be back running. Kept it to short run intervals but no pain. I will call that a win! Continued with yoga for hips.
Friday-45 min cycle + 20 min full body strength + 10 m glute/hip strength + 15 min yoga for hips
Continuing with my daily yoga for hips. Enjoyed some fun variations on wood chops today by doing them in a kneeling position. Great oblique work.
Saturday- 45 min elliptical + 15 min yoga for hips + 10 m core
An easy low impact for me with a little elliptical and yoga for hips.
Sunday-on the plan cycle + core
Thanks for linking up everyone!
Marcia says
Hooray for pain free running! If that Power Zone thing is anything like the Functional Power Threshold test I did in tri training, It is a killer! Thanks for the linkup!
Deborah Brooks says
yes I do think it’s similar it’s hard!
Beckett @ Birchwood Pie says
Pain free running is always a win! I’m looking forward to hearing about the run clinic.
Deborah Brooks says
All the details in the clinic coming soon
Cari says
Yay to be back running indeed.
Love your Thursday skirt and can’t wait to read about the clinics and the mask
Deborah Brooks says
Yes it’s nice to be slowly easing back into running. Details on the clinic and mask coming soon
Kimberly Hatting says
So glad the running is going well! 😉 You’re gonna have a lot of interesting reviews coming up…I’m totally excited to hear about all the stuff you have in the works! Enjoy your Sunday & best wishes for an awesome week!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks yes I finally have a few things to write about! 😊
Wendy says
Anxious to hear more about the power Zone workout! I’m so glad to see you back running; pain free is a win! What is that like anyway? I feel like I always have pain when I run. Nothing mechanical, just RA….
Deborah Brooks says
I’m easing back in slowly with fingers crossed
Kim G says
So cool that your MRTT group was able to do the private running clinic! I also can’t wait for your review of the UA mask. I’ve heard mixed things about it so far so I wanted to wait before buying since it’s pretty expensive.
Thanks for the tips you’ve given me about the PZ classes so far – I start them on Tuesday!
Deborah Brooks says
Mask review coming this week. I really liked it. Have fun w PZ training
Chocolaterunsjudy says
Sounds like you had a lot of fun, exciting stuff going on this week! Can’t wait to read more about it.
Have a great week, Deborah! Yay for running with no pain.
Deborah Brooks says
Ha yes I finally have some real things to write about the next few weeks
Darlene S Cardillo says
Can’t wait to hear about that running clinic. It sounds like something my running group should do.
Hooray for no pain!!
Deborah Brooks says
Review coming soon! Fingers crossed pain free running continues
Liz Dexter says
I love your strong work and pictures – go you!
I’ve been doing another just-over-100-mile month and pleased with that. Running further than any other year. I am really tired but I had a better bedtime last night and felt so much better for it today so I really think it’s the sleeping not the running knocking me back.
Deborah Brooks says
100 miles is fantastic glad yo hear the running is going so well for you right now!
Coco says
I put the hip opener program on my September goals — sounds amazing! Can’t wait to hear more about PowerZone.
Deborah Brooks says
I’m enjoying it so far!
Michelle D. says
So glad to hear you’re running pain free! I’ll be interested to hear about your running clinic and if any of the techniques are similar to Chi Running.
Thanks for the link-up!
Deborah Brooks says
I always meant to take a chi running class and never did! Fingers crossed on the running.I am taking things very slow on the return
Melissa says
YAY! So glad you’re feeling better. I’ve started feeling some pain when running (plantar fascitis, but worse than usual), so hoping it gets better soon. Love all your workout clothes!
Deborah Brooks says
PF is the worst! Have you tried sleeping w the Strasbourg sock? That helped me a lot
Lisa @ TechChick Adventures says
Kudos on the pain free running! And good job on all of the yoga! I sewed a few masks recently. I’m still trying to find a mask that my husband really likes because he is challenged by them. I’ve gotten used to them, but he doesn’t wear one as often. It’s too bad you can’t try them on – or even touch them – before you buy them!
Deborah Brooks says
yes I have bought a few different styles to see which I like best. It’s going to be our way of life for a while
Laura says
Hooray for pain-free running! I sewed a few masks and my husband bought me some nice ones to wear for upcoming family events. I’m curious about the running masks though!
Deborah Brooks says
It is hard to find masks that work for everything. I really liked it review coming Wednesday 🙂
Zenaida Arroyo says
I also checked out the Power Zone Training Program. Hopefully I will start it this coming week.
How fun you participated in the Flex and Flow Virtual Camping. Is that the one that last year was held in Wisconsin or somewhere closeby?
Deborah Brooks says
Yes it was the camp that was held in Wisconsin last year. It was supposed to be in Virginia this summer. Hopefully next year!
Lisa @ Mile by Mile says
Sounds like you tried alot of fun new things this week! Looking forward to hearing more about them. So glad you are back to running!
Deborah Brooks says
thanks fingers crossed for a slow and pain free return to running
Debbie @ Deb Runs says
Cheers for pain free running even if you’re having to keep it short for now! Here’s hoping patience pays off for both of us!
Thanks for the linkup and have a great week!
Deborah Brooks says
I sure hope so for both of us!
Debbie says
I’m happy to hear that your hip is feeling better and that you ran pain-free. I think that running clinic will really help too because good form = less chance of injury.
Deborah Brooks says
I hope so! It’s just not so easy to change habits
Jenn says
Great job! It’s really so mind-blowing how much can be accomplished virtually. Sure, it’s not a replacement for in-person, but it’s a great band-aid and is working so well for so many.
Keep up the awesome work!
Deborah Brooks says
It is working really well for me right now
