WEEK 41.

Eight sessions in seven days and four of them back to back, so the legs were basically a rented item by Thursday. Two runs, two crossfit, two weights and two pilates, which is a very tidy split for a week that felt anything but tidy. The 5K came in at 24:18, sub-25 again, and I'm still chuffed about that, even with a 10K in 54:07 and a mile in 7:20 sitting there looking all cheeky. Heart rate peaked at 174 bpm at parkrun, which tracks, because that was the bit where I started negotiating with myself. 15.1 km total across 6h 30m and 200 m of climbing, so not massive on the distance, but legs, cardio and back all got properly leaned on. Turns out you can be knackered and still show up, as long as you keep lying to yourself about how easy the next one will be.
