No idea what this book is about but the image/title represents the final interval of that workout quite well for me today. Except itās missing the lasers that were scorching my butt! Need to educate my personal laser goat that my legs failing to work is not Couchlandrian. Itās young, itāll learn.

Congratulations, to all sufferlandrians who already made it!
Yeeah! Canāt believe I made it out of the Valley of Nine Hammers alive.
This probably means I need to retest and get new 4DP numbers - but pssst, let me have this moment.

The tracker is dealing with a couchroach infestation. It does catch up but it takes its time. Either that or it failed to get its digital bits around the Sufferlandrian 50 hour day properly.
p.s. I know Iāve done it, my legs arenāt talking to me

Officially Hammered. Near death experience in the last minute of hammer 9. The rest of it was not easy either after yesterday. I thought some of the music was uplifting at key points so kudos for that.
Suffer with honour everyone!

I hate when they get donut juice all over the keyboard while ordering cake on Grubhub. Hopefully the Minions can hose off the machine.

I have finished it a couple of hours ago and it was brutal.
I could even tell from the warm up that my legs were not recovered.
Unfortunately, on the last third of the last interval i had to make a quick 15 seconds pause, cause my legs were shaking very badly.
I was afraid i was gonna get cramped.
But even with this small pause, i ended the interval with 195bpm.
Anyway, day 2 done and dusted

That hammer 9. First minute - Iām gonna stop now, thereās no way. Second minute - 95rpm. OK, itās basically same, just faster spinning. No itās not. Almost dying. Third minute - itās only a minute, if I survive this, itās over. Eyes closed. Eyes open - still 20secs to go. Oh dear. Push.

I really didnāt like hammers 5, 6 8 & 9.
5, 6 & 8, I was hanging on and made it, but felt like I could get through it knowing it was going to be tough. But 9ā¦ oh, that was evil. I was done before it even started and I was in agony for the entire time. I ended up closing my eyes and hanging on till my legs started to spin more freely and I realized Iād made it.
I donāt know about others, but I am spending my downtime researching and re-reading the best recovery foods, exercises etc trying to get back so I can go again tomorrow. Iām already looking forward to a week of recovery and itās only day 2.

GvA, stop messing around. You know itās really only 8 hammers, the last one just happens to be a double sided sledge hammer coated in suffering! Counting was never your strong point in fairness
