A good day. But mainly because I get to interview Jess Varnish and Sir Chris Hoy today. A happy career is a healthy distraction. Get the work done, then reach home at around 8.30pm having picked up a Sushi dinner.

Three days is effectively a ‘healthy break’ – the sort of period I might take following a race, or tapering before one – mentally this is not so bad to deal with and I’m kind of in an ok place.
