THE STORY.
machine-written, human-checkedApril was 52 sessions and 45h 54m, and 28 of them were pilates, so who have I become?! The rest was a proper mixed bag of 7 weight training, 7 crossfit and 7 runs, with a trail run, a ride and a workout chucked in, plus a 9 days unbroken streak that held. 20 PBs fell along the way, including a 5K in 21:42 and a mile in 6:47, and I'm so, so chuffed with that. The longest session was 3h 10m, which my legs are still shaking about, but it all added up to 45.4 km and 562 m of climbing across every sport. Strength quietly did its thing too, with legs, arms and shoulders all getting a proper going over. Turns out the lil pilates sessions were doing the heavy lifting all along.
