![]() ![]() I don’t have the Peloton treadmill (although I’m now super tempted to buy one when they become available in the UK) but am able to use the app on my iphone or ipad to follow classes. You could also use the app to guide you through speed work, longer runs or easy runs as part of a different marathon training plan. Train for a Marathon?ĭesigned for first or second time marathoners, this complete training plan includes stretches, meditation and strength training for those building up to 26.2. But you can also take specific Running Skills classes such as Form and Cadence with Becs Gentry to talk through running drills and form. I love that the instructors give form pointers during workouts and outdoor runs. ![]() Or utilise it as part of marathon or half marathon training Work on Your Form You can use the app to start at the beginning. When I was starting to run again recently and building mileage, I used a lot of the 20 minute beginner runs to build up slowly and gradually to avoid injury. I’m always surprised by the mileage I can cover during a tread or outdoor run, even with walking/jogging breaks. Utilise the hill workouts, bootcamp sessions and specific strength for runners workouts to work on your strength. Interval workouts both on the treadmill and guided outdoor runs are perfect for that! Develop Strength When thinking about endurance, it’s not just about doing the long runs but also working on keeping up sustained periods of increased efforts helps improve overall endurance levels. For those wanting to improve their speed then the tempo, interval and hill Peloton runs are ideal. From Fun Runs (this doesn’t mean easy run by the way!), tempo, interval, HIIT, hills, Heart Rate Zone (you’ll need your own HR monitor to fully utilise this, I haven’t tried with my Garmin Fenix 6S yet!) to endurance runs, run/walk and specific warm up/cool downs you could take before and after any of the other classes, this app has you covered! Run FasterĮven using the beginner runs, I was pushed to run faster than I would have done without the instructor encouraging me. ![]() The treadmill workouts and guided outdoor runs are ideal for the days where you’re not really sure what workout you want to complete, if you’re travelling or if you are including cardio into more of a strength based programme. The music is awesome, the themed rides are right up my street and for those that don’t work specifically with a coach, the Peloton instructors are great for sharing their expertise with you on the run. I find the runs fun, even the ones where I’m really pushing myself. But as I try to increase my running mileage, I’m using it more than ever. I never thought I would use the running parts of the Peloton App more than the bike. My Peloton user name is therunnerbeans – lets be friends if you have the app! As well as being a fun free challenge, Peloton are donating $1M to four charities The Trussell Trust (they support 1200 food banks in the UK), Food Bank for NYC, The Tafel and Daily Bread Food Bank. ![]() I’m joining the #BreakthroughCrew so I’ll be taking a class by Adrian Williams, Chase Tucker, Emma Lovewell, Jenn Sherman, Kendall Toole and Matt Wilpers (mostly treadmill and outdoor runs plus a couple of rides). Week 1 is to take a class by each of the Peloton instructors in the team. I’m taking part in Pelothon this month, where you join a virtual team and each week there’s a challenge. The workouts make me run faster than I would if I were just hopping on the treadmill for an hour, plus the music is epic! But what I didn’t realise when we first bought the bike was how much I’d enjoy using the Peloton app way beyond the on-demand spinning classes (read my full Peloton Review here) You know if you follow me on Instagram that I am kind of obsessed with our Peloton and the app. I don’t hate the treadmill as I know a lot of other runners do, and have clocked up long runs on a tread before (like t his time in Malaysia) but honestly the Peloton runs make the time and miles fly by. I’ve just got off the treadmill after a 60 minute Hip Hop Fun Run with Rebecca Kennedy, clocking up 6.5 miles, having sung my way through ‘The Fresh Price of Bel-Air’. ![]()
