THE WRITE-UP.

machine-written, human-checked
Fourteen sessions in seven days unbroken, and somehow only 7.7 km of it was actually travelling anywhere. Weights ran the show with five sessions, plus pilates, a crossfit, a HIIT and a few workouts chucked in for good measure, all adding up to 8h 23m. The longest one was a Hyrox PT at 1h 5m and the burn rate peaked at 686 kcal/h, so yes, it was hard af. Five PBs landed anyway, including a 1K in 4:48 and a 1 Mile in 8:05, which is a bit rude considering the legs were never fully asked how they felt about it. Even the 5K in 46:27 got done, and I'm chuffed with that! Turns out you can be knackered and quick at the same time, just not at the same pace as your plans.
