Part 2/7:
The challenge kicked off on a day marked by unpredictable weather—sunshine turned into sudden rain, adding another layer of difficulty for the participants. Each runner was timed during their flat-out 5K, with the focus on gauging their initial performance. While some participants were motivated from the outset, notable highlights included interactions among runners where facial expressions revealed the internal struggles they faced during the race.
Among the competitors, five standout candidates were noted for their potential to improve: Steve, Dylan, David, and Charlotte. Each runner had different backgrounds and previous experiences, making it clear that this challenge would not only be a test of physical endurance but also of personal determination.
