Responded in a Running/Jogging thread in TLR but figured I would make my own thread cause I’m hype as shyt and can answer any questions to anybody looking to try one out. I already ran about 8-10 miles a week on average but set out a goal 4 weeks ago to knock this half out in under two hours so I had to step it up a notch. Almost finished in the top 20%.

Nice work. Do you feel you can improve your overall standing? It's a nice sense of purpose, like now you are training for something important. As long as you don't fukk up your goal like "yeah, this next one I want to make top 5!" And then fail..that shyt hurts different.

This is exactly it. A sense of purpose and accomplishment. The mental and physical benefits this past month outside of accomplishing the goal was another big takeaway. I feel fukking great and it’s hard for me to go backwards once I’ve seen what this can do for me.

To answer your question though hell yea I know I can improve. I only trained for four weeks so I know if I put some serious focus on it the sky would be the limit.
