New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[JerekKruger]

Brilliant effort Marius. I always enjoy seeing a PB posted by you as I know it'll be amazing. I look forward to hearing about you breaking the 2000m record (do you have the 5000m record already?)

[DavidA]

Good work everyone on pushing yourselves to new pb’s!
Not very active on the forum at the moment, but will hopefully have more time from August.
Anyway, a new wr is worth posting

Thanks Tom!
I do not have the 5000m record. I’m tuned for 1k and 4min at the moment. Need to work on my fitness level a bit before 2,5 and 6k.
I’m actually thinking of trying to improve the 1k and 4min before moving on to longer distances. I have a nice pace plan for both that I would like to try. That would be 2:56.x for the 1k and 1306m for the 4min.

@DavidA - Yes it was woo hoo

1min pb. Beat the old pb from a month ago by 10m.
Big difference in the pace graph In the logbook as well. No fade at all today, kept pulling 1:20-1:21s from start to finish.
A month ago my last strokes where almost 1:30..

Congratulations Marius!
Looking forward to seeing your rowing-erg efforts (already excellent) and glad I'm not in your age group.

@ Marius, that's a very impressive increase in average pace in such a short time #powermuncher

You're still improving which must be a terrifying prospect for your competitors

Congrats, but less impressive Also shows your natural strenght, great endurance, the power guys attack this very differently, with a much faster lowpull.
Still very strong, and plenty of more records to come !

[JerekKruger]

@Marius - given you're tuned for the the 1000m/4 minute distance I think that makes sense. I look forward to hearing about you beating your own records

[mdpfirrman]

@ Marius - You are one powerful man! Watching you and Henry and a few others on the SkiErg, I would love to get one also. I would be very pedestrian at that as well (just like the rower) but I do think it looks like such a great compliment to the rower.

[Gammmmo]

@marius - psot some videos sometime. It's not I don't believe you with your amazing feats I just want to see how it should be done!
Keep at it...

[-marius-]

Thanks again everyone Helps a lot for the motivation to keep on pushing my limits!
Henry - I knew it would not impress you much My low pull is 1:14 at the moment, but I’m working hard to get it lower.
I’m also thinking about entering the +100kg class again
Gammmmo - I’m best suited behind the camera

5k pb.. Wanted to check where I’m at on the 5k. I haven’t done much longer sessions on the skierg so was not looking forward to this. Had to restrict the rate a bit to be able to finish. Don’t remember anything from the last k, but it seems like it went pretty fast
I have a job to do to get the fitness up to wr level, but will wait with that until around September.

This is more impressive and looking at that pacing certainly not 100% yet. Sub 17 will be not to difficult.
Your speed is good enough to break the 2/5k wr. But whatever you do, keep doing it, it works!

Congrats on the new 500 PB but I also agree with Henry, your 5K is going to be amazing!

Over 500m and based on your previous PB time that is a huge improvement
