THE WRITE-UP.

machine-written, human-checked
Two sessions all week and it still felt like a whole month, because one of them was a proper 1h 29m of suffering with the heart rate sat at 168 bpm on average. Total time came to 2h 45m, so the other one was a lil cheeky number by comparison, but it still helped burn 2478 kcal between them. The burn rate peaked at 900 kcal/h, which is bloody mental when you say it out loud. Five PBs got broken in that tiny window, so apparently doing less and going harder is the plan now, and I'm not complaining. Legs are probably shaking, glutes are probably on fire, but the numbers are very, very happy. Two sessions, five PBs, zero regrets (a few regrets, mostly about the stairs).
