September Summary

 259 miles with 12000 gain in September.

A slight downtick in volume compared to the last few months but a slight uptick in quality/intensity. I did a few track sessions without injuring myself, so that’s a positive.

I also started playing around with this guy recently. 



Not sure it’s led to any radical changes in my training, as I was already doing "Norwegian-style" training before I got it. But it has caused me to make some subtle tweaks and adjust workouts in ways that I think might be beneficial. There was a learning curve associated with it, but now that I’ve gotten the hang of it, it’s nice to have bio-feedback that reinforces that I’m at the right intensity for what I’m trying to achieve. Discovered a few counterintuitive things I’ll be able to use going forward. And it appeals to my wonky nature. 

Bit of a bloody mess sometimes, though. Not in the British sense of "bloody mess," but in a literal way. You definitely get some weird looks!
