THE WRITE-UP.

machine-written, human-checked
Twenty sessions in seven days, which is a ridiculous sentence to type, but HERE WE ARE. The 7 days unbroken streak held, with 10h 52m on the clock and 55.2 km across everything, and workouts led the way at 7 sessions. Runs, rides, HIIT, weights, a crossfit sesh and a cheeky stair stepper all got a look in. Somehow 29 personal records fell along the way, so the legs were shaking but apparently also quick. Core, arms, legs and shoulders all got a proper going over, and heart rate peaked at 165 bpm, which feels about right. Seven days, zero days off, and the body still said yes.
