THE WRITE-UP.

machine-written, human-checked
Seven days unbroken and 15 sessions, which is a lot of rope to hang myself with, but here we are. Six runs did the heavy lifting, with a 5K in 23:06, a 1K in 4:18 and a mile in 7:04 all turning up like it was nothing, and 13 PBs fell along the way, which is just silly. Strength and pilates quietly filled the gaps (3 weight sessions, 4 pilates, plus a crossfit and a yoga for good measure), so legs were properly cooked by the end of it. 30.9 km and 504 m of climbing across nearly 12 hours of moving about, and the heart rate peaked at 169 bpm in a race, which feels fair. Turns out doing a bit of everything every single day works out surprisingly well, and I'm not even sorry.
