Have you changed anything in training? Nothing of note - I've never maintained a consistent training plan in any season but the winter, since I do a different sport in the fall and summer training could be sporadic.

Hello, everyone! First, here are my stats: 17-years-old, 155 lbs, 5'11" 6:34 2k (splits: 37.6, 38.4, 38.1, 40.2) (rates: 31, 29, 32, 34) Now, you may notice that the last split of the 500 is not where it should be - that's what I'm here about.

It was also rated at a 31, so I have some room for improvement on the rating. I pulled a ...
