WEEK 43.

Five sessions in seven days and only 5.0 km across the lot, so this was not a week about mileage, it was a week about turning up. Four days unbroken is the bit I'm proudest of, because the legs were absolutely not asking for it. The mix was cheeky: two HIIT sessions, one weights, one workout and a single run, which adds up to 3h 41m and 2005 kcal of properly earned sweat. The PT session was the big one at 1h 2m, and the burn rate peaked at 770 kcal/h, so the glutes will be sending a strongly worded letter. The parkrun was the bit with the numbers though, a 160 bpm average and a 5K in 27:19, with a 1K in 5:11 and a mile in 8:22 along the way, which is not too shabby for a week that was mostly lifting heavy things and being shouted at. Turns out you don't need the miles when you've got the mileage in your head.
