New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[hjs]

Great final 500m! ...

Only the last 250m (1:31,4)

What caught my attention was the 280 average watts, but you were cruising along at 275 +/- 6 watts for the first 9 splits and then, boom!, it went up to 357 in the last split. Now it appears that it was actually 458w for the last half split! That's a 66% increase in power.

"Early gains" syndrom almost every row is a pb, no structure needed, distances don,t matter etc. Wonderfull time to be in. Long may it last......

I'm result-oriented...

I'm result-oriented...

And proud enough to brag.
An so Am I!



Second part was heavy...but since I was not in the best shape today, it is very promising for new Pb's

Splendid PBs there Nico and Siebe.

Got a much easier one today: 15.9sec on the 100m-sprint (previous was 16.0), DF 172, 53 SPM

Well done. Your power is promising for other PB's as well...

Al you needed was one try? I sometimes need 4 or 5 times to get it right.
It is sometimes frustrating that it eventually shows a tenth of a second more, than at first. Had you had this issue as well?

Is your PB 500m 2017 a target or do you see this year as 2017 like the nonathlon?

Thanks Siebe. I had one more go before @ 16.1sec (which showed 16.0 at first but changed to 16.1; fortunately no such problem on the second go and I could log and rank it with verification codes without any problems).
Went @ 49 SPM on the first and @ 53 SPM on the second trial, saw several strokes @ 1:17 as a LP on both trials.

Regarding the 500m the 1:30.0-PB actually is from the current erging year 2016/2017 (which indeed is written as 2017 like in the Nonathlon) but as I am only in my second season of serious erging I keep last years PBs (some of them done in 2015 but written as 2016) in the table for comparison purposes even if a SB this season (2017) is faster (I copied that configuration from Jack). But I see the reason for the confusion now and changed the PB-year for the 1:30.9 to 2016 (season 2015/2016).

Okay, ...but now on my screen your signature is getting to small, or in other words, it is not readable.
I well have a try on doing the 100m also in a higher stroke-rate. Probably asking a very different approach. 53 sounds like a crazy fast rate.

As neat as the feature in general is the signature generator does have some flaws. And yes, in order to get enough power transmitted a high rate is needed. As the pace calculates to 696W even at 53 SPM almost 14W per stroke is needed. I am obviously not able to generate much more (and usually generate less as a 30R20 at 200W is a fairly tough UT1-workout for me).

Your signature looks beter now.
I will let you know how increasing stroke rate works out for me.

I have lurked in the C2 forums since I purchased my model in the summer of 2015 and never posted. I had hit a plateau until about 3 or months ago. At that time I started doing mainly long steady stated pieces. For me that is one hour or more @ 21, 22, 23 strokes a minute. In the last couple of weeks I have set pb for the 500, 2k, 10k, and 1 hour rows.

500 -- 1:35.1 took 5,8 seconds off previous best.
2k -- 7:16.6
10k – 38:52 took 16 seconds off previous best.
1 hr. -- 15215 meters.

I think I still have plenty of room for improvement. All of this pbs have occurred without any rest days since early August. The 2k was very uneven with splits of 1:54.1, 1:51.5, 1:48.8, and 1:42.2. To be clear I did not sit down to do pb. It was the final part of my warm up where I like to go pretty hard with negative splits. It wasn’t until I finished the 1500 meters that I decided to go for it. According to Paul’s law I still have room for improvement. I hope that is the case as a sub 7 minute 2k could be in my future.

You must have gained some really great confidence. So use that to do a real attack on your 2k. Sub 7 means sub 1:45 pace.
Probably again first some weeks ss with strong strokes, and maybe some intervals as wel.
For me a good predictor of pace for a 2k is 10 x 500 m with one minute rest. The average pace i'm able to perform on those 10 500's , is the pace I go for the complete 2k.

[Deqlyn]

Got my rower on January 6th, crossed my first million meters today. My pace started at 2:35 with a HR at 150. now its 2:10 at 150. maybe less but comfortably 2:10.

[bisqeet]

one of this years targetds:
sub 37 10k.
Previous PB 37:07 (May 2016)

10k.jpg (48.43 KiB) Viewed 6839 times

an amazing 23s off (which i cant beleive - it didnt feel that hard; defo not easy, but i could have probably kept that pace for another 1k, before dying/puking; HR was a little low too ~165 )

just a sub 18 5k, a sub 1:20 HM and a sub FM @ 2:00 left... oh and 40 HM for season target of 100....

[Pie Man]

Wow! Amazing improvement Dean congratulations, it seems your training is working brilliantly.

[Gammmmo]

Great stuff Dean - I'm v envious! How has your training changed to get your time down by so much? Cheers...
