The 2000m is just quite a bit less fun, and after you've done one, I mean, you've <i>still</i> got to do something else to complete your workout for the day. Who wants to do that?<br /><br />If you do a good strong power hour, that's your workout right there.

New 5K PB<br /><br />18:33.4

[[old] Steve_R]

Working on race pacing. New PB 500m: 1:35.7 sr:30 SPI:13.3 <br /><br />Down from 1:37.3. Last time I went out too fast with a 1:31 split and crashed before the end with over a 1:40 split. This time I went 1:37.0, 1:34.5, 1:34.5, 1:35.5, 1:37.0. Just couldn't hang on for the last 100m <br /><br />Hats off to the people who can maintain this power output for a 2k.<br />

Thanks Maarten, I will give it a try.<br /><br />Being a lwt, a 1:25 time would be very impressive. Of course, being able to put on the breaks at the right time is the key. Totally mental but a harder race for me to run because I feel so good at the beginning.<br /><br />Either way, to cut another couple seconds off my time would just make my 2k time even more out of whack. Time to start working on that pesky endurance.<br /><br />Steve

[[old] Steve_R]

Added 1k to my PB: 3:24.9 down from 3:29.0.<br />Spent the first 600 on pace for a 3:19 but as seems to be the case, I can't seem to finish what I start. Although this way I seem to be testing my ability to endure pain. <br /><br />I think before trying a 2k, I will work on my 5k and 10k...<br /><br />Steve

New mark for 60:00. Improved from the 15529m that I did in April 2003 to 15599m this morning . <br /><br />I think that I must have been inspired by fellow lightweight Ninthman's "good-ish" one hour average time that kicks my butt. It felt good (the PB, not the butt-kicking) and garnered 10 extra Nonathlon points.<br /><br />Rick

That is quite a good 1 h distance.<br /><br />(It looks like you need to try another HM, your time their doesn't seem in line with your other times/distances. Besides they're so easy to just do most anytime )<br /><br />David

thanks.<br /><br />actually, that's the only 1/2 marathon i've ever done. made my butt hurt. i'll do another one, one of these days, but i can definitely think of more fun ways to spend an hour plus. if i've got that much time to exercise, i should be outside, right?<br /><br />andrew

Last wednesdayevening we did the marathon relay with a team of collegues from the gym at my work. <br />We did it in 2:07:27! That was 12 minutes faster than the time last year! <br />1:30.6/500 and 44 spm. <br /><br />We (I) chose to start all with 15 strokes. After more than 1 hour we did 13 strokes. We ended up with 10 strokes each for the last part. <br /><br />In my first serie i broke my PB for max pull and did 1:14/500. All my series i stayed under 1:20/500.<br />One man (also on-waterrower) on our team was 58 and rowed constantly 1:27/500. There were younger guys slower than him! <br />Thursdayevening if felt the muscle pain in my legs. And friday was better to stay on my chair because every time i got up, i felt my legs.<br /><br />Next wednesday i join another team from another office to do it again. Love the pain......
