October was basically a running month, eight of the fourteen sessions on foot, and the legs were certainly not shy about it. 39.7 km all in across 8h 42m, with a 4 day streak that held without a single day off, which is bloody daft but here we are. The best efforts came out cheeky too: 1K in 5:11, a mile in 8:22 and a 5K in 27:19, so the speed is creeping in even while everything else is going on. Three HIIT sessions, a weights day and a couple of workouts kept the glutes honest, and the longest session was a 1h 2m beast that I'm fairly sure was planned as something gentler. Peak heart rate hit 174 bpm on one of the runs, which feels about right for the effort. Fourteen sessions, 5267 kcal and a lil bit of hill, and still back for more tomorrow.
