THE WRITE-UP.

machine-written, human-checked
Nineteen sessions in seven days, 10h 41m of it, spread across seven different types of sport, and I still can't tell you what the plan was. The streak ran 7 days unbroken, which I didn't so much plan as just fail to stop. Fifteen PRs fell along the way, including a 1K in 4:40 and a 1 Mile in 7:41, and I am so, so chuffed with myself. Core, arms and legs took most of the beating, and 54.1 km and 5600 kcal later I'm still weirdly smiling about it. Not bad for a week where the only rest day was a rumour. Turns out the secret to a good start to the year is just never finding the day off.
