The last six weeks have been chaos. I pulled out of two races, came off my ADHD medication, moved house, got sick, and lost every bit of routine and rhythm I had in the process.

So in this one I'm being honest about where I'm actually at. Why I made the call to skip my 5,000m in Belgium and my 10k in New York, what my testing at St Mary's told me, and why a stripped back block of unsexy, head down base training might be exactly what I need right now.

Because changing the plan doesn't mean failing the plan. It just means this is the plan.

Next week I'm breaking down all my testing data and what my zones actually are, so make sure you're subscribed.
