The PAX from Puget Sound really delivered one heck of a beat down for Week 3. Every time the work got difficult, I thought of Burns’ M and it pushed me onward. Yet another reason why F3 is more than a workout group. TClaps to the men of Puget Sound.
There has been some clamoring amongst the skinny runners that they needed a workout designed for them. So, this week, the IPC braintrust delivered on that and hopefully they can stop their griping now.
Reminders
Submit your score here! You can complete the workout and submit your results as many times as you would like. Just know that the last score submitted will be the one used in calculating your place in the standings. The scoring window will stay open for the entirety of the IronPAX Challenge, but in order to be considered for the weekly competition, you must complete the workout and submit your score by midnight the Saturday following the release of the workout.
This is a You vs You challenge. Guys are going to be faster and stronger than you and that’s okay. All that matters is that at the end of the workout, you can say that you went as fast or as hard as you could. And if you answer yes to that question, than you completed the challenge. This is designed to push yourself and your region to grow together.
Once again, ScarU is providing suggestions on how to modify the workout so all men can participate. There is nothing wrong with modifying the work. It’s You vs You. Keep pushing yourself. Making yourself better.
