Lots of good work going on in here. Well done mate. Whatās the weather like up there ?? How humid is it for running around ?
Cheers buddy. This training block is much more my cup of tea, just a shame that each session now lasts over an hour as my gym is being quite strict about needing to keep sessions short.
This week has been quite cool, but the rain has come so not exactly a straightforward win.
