Technique is to apply the brakes once only if possible and hold the 1000 psi until low speed and then reduce pressure gently until stopped. Then set the parking brake, shut down and get towed off the runway.
Of course, if you empty the accumulator through repeated applications of the brakes, you won't be able to set the parking brake...
