Summary
Another good week of training with a shorter run on the weekend. I tried out a new route and it was much more technical than expected, so I wasn’t able to get in the distance I was hoping for but it was a good hard workout nevertheless.
As always, see my Training Plan for the exact exercises I perform at each workout.
Until next week!
