I sleep so poorly anyway, but maybe I should just get out of bed and do something then, you know? we'll see. I'm also not super fond of speedwork, but I'm pushing it a bit too now. I also want to see a result rather than the same old race time. we don't have to be fast, but it's nice to see an improvement, right? leg and core work is also so important. so it seems to me like you have great plans for April!
