THE WRITE-UP.

machine-written, human-checked
Ten sessions in seven days and 7h 42m on the clock, with crossfit doing most of the heavy lifting (four of them) and pilates quietly turning up three times for a good telling off. Only two runs all week, but a 5K in 23:33 and a 1 mile in 7:21 came out of them, which is cheeky for something I did not exactly build the week around. Eight personal records in total, including a 1K in 4:31 and a 400m in 1:45, so the legs have clearly been plotting something behind my back. The streak hit 6 days unbroken, with 2948 kcal burned and a peak heart rate of 166 bpm, and legs, shoulders and arms all took a proper kicking. The whole lot only added up to 9.1 km because most of it was spent lifting, bending and shaking rather than running, which feels like a very me way to get fit. Eight PRs, six days straight and still not entirely sure how I did it.
