First Half Marathon 1:27:57.7<br /><br />My goal pace was 2:04, which was fine until about 18k. Ended up at 2:05.1. I had to stop and stand up to stretch a bit.<br /><br />My heartrate peaked at 150 at about 15k, then it stayed in the low 140s. Plenty of capacity left there. I didn't see the heart rate fatigue upward drift being the limiting factor.<br /><br />I used to hate long swims when I competed, but I understood the benefits. (I was a sprinter and polo player). I sure the same thing applies here, but I don't have a coach on deck timing every lap and pushing me. Instead I've got this heartless PM3 staring at me, along with a RowPro rower looking at me like I'm nuts. (My imagination, sorry).<br /><br />The only real problem with this is what the next distance goal is. There's not a 3/4 marathon is there. It has to be a full marathon. At least there's a mug for that. (And don't even suggest the 100k. That's what the work week is for. Not one day. No way.)<br />

Congratulations.<br /><br />One of the Marathon training plans available on C2 does recommend doing a 30k before trying a 42k.<br /><br />You dont have to do a 42k next.<br /><br />Regards<br />Another Bill <br />

New PB for 2000m: 7.12.6. Beat last years 2000m, who said thing don't get better with age!

[[old] Carl Henrik]

There, now I've done a sub 1:25 500m this year as well. And at a bodyweight of only 72.9 kg! I tangented my PB with 1:24.9 today. I couldn't have it that I only pulled 1:25.1 a few days ago. I took a few pictures as well with my mobile.<br /><br />At the end I was pulling 1:27s this time (instead of 1:29s) so i had a lot of power left, but I was only at 1:24.2 average after 350 meters instead of 1:24.0 like last time. I'm interested in trying to hold 1:23s initially and see how I stack up after that. Perhaps in a few days. <br />

Well, for the 500m, the average pace is the easiest to calculate, it's just the finishing time <br /><br />

500m PB of 1:36.2. Today was a complete junk day. Not wanting to do my usual 10k, i decided to do some sprints, that failed. Then decided to go back to a 10k, that failed again. In the end I just decided to throw in a 500m test, never having done one before, and a 5700m cooldown.

Last night, almost on a whim, I decided to try my first half marathon. Moved the erg into the TV room, popped "Pirates of the Carribean" into the DVD player, grabed a couple water bottles and granola bars and started pulling at about 10:20PM.<br /><br />My time was terrible - about 1h 48m. I had to guess part of it because my first break lasted more than 4 minutes and the PM turned off, so I estimated the time based on the distance, a pace of about 2:10, and a 5 minute break.<br /><br />My time was bad, I slept poorly and I'm sore today, but I'm quite happy. This AM I weighed 1.5lbs less than my previous lowest weight.<br /><br />One thing seemed odd. I drank a total of about 50oz of water last night. Based on my normal workouts, I'd think that would be about the amount that I'd sweat out, but I found myself getting up frequently last night to pee (about 4 times). Could it be that the HM built up a lot of waste in my system and my kidneys were just flushing it all away?<br /><br />Dave<br />

Lastly, the body can only use about 1 cup of water per hour -- anything over that (give or take depending on your body) gets washed out.<br /><br />Mike<br /> <br /> </td></tr></table><br />

2k - 7:42<br /><br />That beats my 2k by 11 seconds, although I think I could have beaten it by more if I had been smart about pacing. Am fairly good about being patient with results in general, but this one does seem pretty freakin' humble considering I've been at this 2 months, am in my prime years physically etc etc. Will try and rip some kick times in the next couple of months to make up for it

[[old] Lincoln]

Not quite one month to the day after getting my C2. <br /><br />Got 1:47.2 for 500m; 7.6 seconds better than my last pr.<br />38 spm, damper ~7. Couldn't get under 1:55 with a lower damper setting.
