THE STORY.

machine-written, human-checked
September was 62 sessions in 38h 18m, and the whole thing was held together by a 30 day streak that just would not break. Workouts led the count at 27, with 12 weight training sessions and 8 pilates quietly stacking up behind them, so the shoulders and arms were always going to have something to say. Then 25 PBs turned up, including a 5K in 23:13 and a 1 Mile in 7:22, and that is SO very chuffed territory. The longest session ran to 3h 28m, and 1253 m of climbing across the month means the legs were shaking about it toughhh. Even the half marathon best of 2:19:24 landed somewhere in the middle of all that, which feels cheeky. Thirty days unbroken, 25 PBs, still smiling: it never got easier, I just got sillier about it.
