Weekly Run Down: It’s PeloFondo Time

Happy Sunday. I hope that everyone had a great week. Anyone else feel like this week was super busy? Between work, running errands, PeloFondo and doing some things around the house, it felt like this week went by quickly.

Here are my workouts for the week.

Monday, July 18

Orangetheory Fitness (60 minutes)
David Guetta Run 7/6/22 – Olivia (30 minutes)
Angelique Kerber Pop Ride 12/13/21 – Erik (30 minutes)
Rock Slow Flow 7/18/22 – Chelsea (30 minutes)

I slept poorly on Sunday night, but it was a benchmark day at OTF so there was no time for sleeping in. This signature workout is called Inferno, and it’s all about accumulating the most amount of distance on the rower. Here’s the format:

Row 100 meters
Run 0.1 miles on the treadmill
Row 200 meters
Run 0.1 miles on the treadmill
*repeat, adding 100 meters every time you go back to the rower*

I was able to pick up a much unexpected PR so I was happy about that.

Since we really didn’t run a lot during class, I did the 30 minute David Guetta run to get in some more miles/steps and it was really good! One of my friends was celebrating her 100th yoga class so I hoped on the class to help her celebrate. You wouldn’t think rock music and slow flow go together, but it was really good!

Tuesday, July 19

Warm Up Walk 4/25/22 – Joslyn (10 minutes)
Lizzo Run 7/15/22 – Marcel D (30 minutes)
Lizzo Full Body Strength 7/15/22 – Jess (30 minutes)
Intervals Ride 5/2/21 – Erik (30 minutes)

The Lizzo classes were SO good! Marcel’s energy on the treadmill was totally infectious. It would have been fun to be in the studio for that class. Same thing with the strength class – Jess and everyone in the studio was having so much fun, even while getting a great full body workout.

Wednesday, July 20

Pre-Run Warm Up 11/15/21 – Becs (5 minutes)
Endurance Run 5/15/22 – Marcel D (45 minutes)
Arms & Shoulders Strength 5/13/22 – Tunde (15 minutes)
Aussie Vibes Ride 7/14/22 – Ben (30 minutes)
Aussie Vibes Cool Down Ride 7/14/22 – Ben (10 minutes)

I really enjoyed the endurance run. It was nice to just set a speed and run that the whole class. Marcel included a few inclines during the class but nothing too crazy. The Aussie vibes rides reminded me that I like a lot of Australian music artists. Ben included a song from INXS in one of the rides and I found myself really jamming along, lol.

Thursday, July 21

Morning Meditation 7/19/22 – Aditi (10 minutes)
Power Walk 5/15/22 – Kirsten (45 minutes)
Arms & Shoulders Strength 5/13/22 – Tunde (15 minutes)
HIIT & Hills Ride 4/30/21 – Hannah F (30 minutes)

I tried something different and started off the day with a meditation. It was a nice way to start the day before getting into my workout. I wanted to take a day off from running so the power walk was perfect. Although it was low impact, I still got a great workout, complete with sweat. Tunde included burpees in this arms & shoulders class which I thought was a bit odd since it’s more of a full body exercise.

Friday, July 22

Live DJ Run 5/13/22 – Adrian (30 minutes)
Recovery Ride 5/15/22 – Erik (20 minutes)
Core Strength 7/19/22 – Daniel (5 minutes)
Orangetheory Fitness (60 minutes)

The Live DJ run was fun. Adrian and DJ John Michael always put on a show and you can tell they are really having a great time. The recovery ride was a great way to flush out my legs before OTF class.

It was another theme day at OTF – “Christmas in July”. Of course I had too pull out some of my Christmas items for the class.

Saturday, July 23

Andrew Lloyd Webber Warm Up Ride 7/20/22 – Christine (10 minutes)
Andrew Lloyd Webber Ride 7/20/22 – Benny (20 minutes)
Andrew Lloyd Webber Ride 7/20/22 – Sam (30 minutes)
Orangetheory Fitness (45 minutes)
Lizzo Ride 7/15/22 – Cliff (30 minutes)
Upper Body Warm Up 5/13/22 – Tunde (5 minutes)
Arms & Shoulders Strength 5/13/22 – Tunde (10 minutes)
Lizzo Two For One Ride 7/15/22 – Robin & Jess (30 minutes)

Whew – What a busy day! I normally don’t do OTF on Saturdays but wanted to take advantage of a 45 minute class. Today was also day 1 of PeloFondo. I had to miss there last event in April, so I’m happy I can participate this time. I did my first few classes before class, went to OTF, re-hydrated, and then did 2 more rides. The Lizzo Two for One ride was absolutely incredible! I really think it might be the best cycling class on the platform. I pledged a total of 50 miles over the weekend and will finish up the miles tomorrow.

Sunday, July 24

David Guetta Ride 7/6/22 – Camila (30 minutes)
David Guetta Ride 7/6/22 – Ben (30 minutes)
David Guetta Ride 7/6/22 – Erik (45 minutes)
Lower Body Stretch 6/17/22 – Matty (10 minutes)
Andrew Lloyd Webber Yoga Flow 7/20/22 – Ross (45 minutes)

All of the the David Guetta classes were great, even if only one of them was in English, lol. I actually don’t mind taking the Spanish or German classes. Maybe it well help me pick up a few words in each language! I did a lower body stretch after my las ride but my body still feels tight so I think I will do the ALW yoga class later on today.

Summary:
Running – 11.2 miles
Cycle – 80.77 miles
Strength Training – 80 minutes
Orangetheory Fitness – 165 minutes
Peloton Artist Series Classes – 652/655

I feel like most of the country is experiencing this never ending heatwave, so I won’t ask how the weather is in your neck of the woods, lol. I think that *hopefully* the heatwave is supposed to end on Tuesday, so let’s keep our fingers crossed that happens.

I finished up my second PeloFondo this morning. It worked out well that I had a few Artist Series rides to catch up on so I used those for both days of riding. I liked splitting the rides up over two days to get my 50 miles. I will definitely do it again in October!

…and now for this week’s memes.

That’s it! I hope you had a great week 🙂

I’m linking up with Deborah and Kim for the Weekly Run Down.
