It's impossible to fininish in 1 run with PR44.

I was in the same boat as you. PR44, not willing to spend gold. I did every other Gauntlet in one run. I accidently ended a run by hitting cloud save rather than cloud restore, but I don't regret it. I did 5 runs to finish, 87 challenges completed. Most boss Challenges were rated EXTREME. Of these EXTREME ones; about 1/3 were extremly hard, 1/3 were easy & 1/3 were impossible for me at PR 44!

Some boss races took me 30+ tries. If I couldn't win, I would be sure to lose by a lot. Whether I eventually beat Magnus, or just started a new run; the next challenge was stupid easy! I had a HUNTER event with -312m as the goal. I had some cup races where I was 1,000 m ahead of the pack. Bot slowing seemed to work for me.

There's one way you MIGHT be able to slow bots with very little hassle. I only thought of this after, so I didn't try it myself. You would only do this at the beggining of a new run: On the first race of the new run, lose badly. Restart another run (no banked points lost). Lose badly again. I think you can restart runs as often as you want to. Keep doing this and see how it goes.
