did 10 km yesterday at 1:49.6 average split and 20 spm.
very even the whole way.

today should row something shorter.

yesterday did 500 m x 4, 2' rest in between

1:34.8 (28)
1:34.0 (29)
1:33.5 (30)
1:31.8 (31)

hopefully will go for a 6 km piece today

did a 2000 m yesterday
my most recent 10 km was done at 1:51 average split
based on the 10 km piece pace i decided to aim for 1:42 pace on 2 km

i got it:
1:42.0 @ 25 spm (6'48")

i did have to pull 1:40 in the last 500m to get it

2 km at 1:42 felt a lot harder than 10 km at 1:51

10 k 1:50.9 @ 20 spm

10 k at 1:51.8 (19 spm)

10 k at 1:53.7, 19 spm

1000 m x 5
3' rest
1:42.5 avg @ 24

10 k @ 1:54.4, 18 spm
was aiming for 1:55.0
so far so good

1000 m x 5, 3' rest
1:43.8 @23 avg

10 k today at 1:55.8 (18 spm)
goal was 1:56.0, so it went almost as planned

will aim at 1:55.0 next

Thanks for your help Badocter. I tried the 2.5K today after my 10K and did not quite make it. I think I was trying to hard. I ended up only getting 1.5k in 3:56. I'll have to slow it down a bit next time. Jeff 1.5 km is 1500 m 3 minutes 56 seconds is equal to 236 seconds 236 seconds/3 = 78.7 second...

did 5 km at 1:43.0, 24 spm, 17'10". the goal of 1:42.0 (17'00") by teh end of this month is very unlikely, but i might give it another go. Really? Don't think you can knock 10 seconds off the time, by increasing the spm to 28-30? No way I could get within 10 seconds of a PR at 24 spm. the question ...
