WEEK 42.

Eight sessions, 11h 16m and 42.5 km all told, and one single run ate nearly five hours of it, because apparently a 4:55 morning was a sensible plan. That run did the heavy lifting, with a marathon in 4:53:11 and a half marathon in 2:06:58 dropping out along the way, plus a 5K in 28:53 and a 10K in 59:25 for good measure. Twelve PRs in one week is just daft, and a 1K in 5:38 and a mile in 9:05 are sitting in there looking very pleased with themselves. Around it all were three weight sessions, two crossfit and two pilates, with legs, back and cardio taking the brunt, so nobody's walking down stairs gracefully. Four days unbroken, 462m of climbing and a peak of 155 bpm, and I'm still weirdly chuffed with the lot. Legs have been spent, the PB list is stacked, and the plan was clearly never to be sensible.
