Nice week Bob. I'll forgive you the day off when it was 35C. 4 x 2k is a massive session - good splits. No wonder you were tired Sunday.
ReplyDeleteYes as Ewen with the Saturday session that looks tough. Also looks like your weight is down from what I remember you were. Are you doing anything different with the diet?
