THE STORY.

machine-written, human-checked

One hundred and ninety sessions in the year, and somehow 67 of them were runs, so apparently that's who I am now. The crossfit (28) and weight training (22) did their bit too, and the HIIT sessions were HORRIFIC in the way I clearly keep signing up for. 123 hours of moving about, 520.2 km across everything, and 1814 m of climbing that my legs have opinions about. There was a 39 day streak where I simply refused to stop, which was either discipline or a cry for help, and I'm calling it discipline. And 71 personal records, which is bloody mad and I'm so, so chuffed. Turns out the plan was never to feel ready, just to turn up knackered and leave with another PB.
