Today was pretty much a carbon copy of my session two days ago, though I managed a couple more 25m reps under 19s. I’m sticking with the 85s interval for now though.

It’s strange how these things go… Some days you just can’t get anywhere near where you know you can be, some others you exceed your expectations by miles. I’ve not been sleeping particularly well this week. Often I’ve been quite … Continue reading →
