Rainy Day and Daylight Savings
We are struggling over here! Between daylight savings time and a rainy day, we are all bored and cranky! It’s been the first bad weather day we have had in a long time. Didn’t realize just how much being outside in the sun really helps us throughout the day. We watched a lot of movies and played a lot cars. After the kids went to bed I was able to sneak out and run four miles on the treadmill. No one is more surprised than me that I got this run in. I was running all the scenarios in my head for how I could take today off and still…

30min Treadmill Speed Workout
Try this 30min Treadmill Speed Workout! Speed work is great for your overall running. It is also great for weight loss if that is your goal. I incorporate speed work on the treadmill because it gives me a controlled space to make sure I am hitting my goal paces. It also allows me to get off the impact of the roads. With speed you are also increasing your impact on the legs. The treadmill will give you a softer surface and create less of an impact than if you did the same workout on the roads. More importantly, you can set the speed and hold on! Personally, I think I…

Better Monday
Way Better Monday! Finally back to some morning runs! It’s been a really rough two weeks with this sickness in our house. I can’t believe my cough and runny nose is still lingering. I was about to get up and do a run, strength, shower and a coffee before anyone woke up! Win! I did a three mile treadmill run. Keeping things super slow and focusing on mileage and consistency until the cough is gone. My hip flexors are tight and I can tell my body has been working to fight off the virus because it is a little weak. After my run, I did a quick 10min Peloton Strength…

Week 3 Recap!
Saying things have been a struggle would be a massive understatement. Our house was hit with the crazy virus that has been going around. We are on week two of stuffy noses, uncontrollable coughing, and on and off sore throats. We are all annoyed and grumpy. I went back and forth so many times on if I stick to my training or take extra rest. I moved around some miles last week and took a few extra rest days when the sore throat was bad. Then listened to my body and was able to make up the mileage at a slower than easy pace. Things then got worse with my…

Peloton App Training Schedule!
Peloton App Training Schedule! I will admit I love the peloton app. I have been using it on and off for years. The reason I usually stop is because there isn’t a set training plan. Progress is slow or not being made for that reason. However, what keeps bringing me back are instructors, the workouts themselves, the variety, and the motivation. Below you will find a weekly workout calendar sample plan using only the peloton app. The running portions can be either outside or treadmill based. Reminder: check with your doctor before you start any new form of exercise or diet, and as always, listen to your body. Make adjustments as…
