Last week I was introduced to a friend of a friend who was working on what sounded like a wild project and needed some help. It turned out that it indeed was a wild project and they did!

Basically, over the weekend I helped launch an online teaching website for all the kids who are going back to school this week and don’t have video based curriculum-aligned lessons. All last week a team of teachers shot 180 x 1 hour videos and made learning resources. A small team of us shipped a website over the weekend.

And on Monday morning it went live. 300,000 people hit the site on the first day!

It’s up at www.thenational.academy (search for Oak national academy to find it).

So it’s been a bit wild. On Sunday I still did my half marathon as planned and phew. Tiring at another level.

Anyway. Tried a quick 5k to see if I could get near my past best speed. Not really, the weekend has tired me out a bit, and plus it was busy at the park at that time. So I’ll stick to my road routes at my normal pace I think!
