Your not the 1st nor will you be the last. If you are shattered then really slow down next time, aim to finish with fuel in the tank. 😀

Great job getting the toughest run done. I nearly didn’t make it to the end of the first interval... still don’t know how I completed it. It remains the hardest run I’ve ever done. Be very proud of yourself... keep the legs moving tomorrow (don’t sit for too long at a time) and enjoy run 2.

Well done that’s the hardest run done, if you struggle slow down a bit and you will find a comfortable pace
