This week on Chasing the Finish it’s less “elite athletes” and more “enthusiastic blokes slightly out of breath”…
Mike is chasing the mythical sub 40 5k (spoiler: his legs have other ideas), Mike makes his long awaited run club debut (nerves? yes, stretching? debatable.) and we spiral into a full blown existential crisis over… which parkrun to do this weekend?
Expect:
– Questionable pacing strategies
– Big ambitions, mixed execution
– Strong opinions on parkrun courses we’ve barely researched
Will we break 40?
Will Mike survive run club?
Will we ever agree on a Parkrun?
Unlikely. But we’ll have a laugh trying.
