New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[bennyhanna]

Got a PB with a sub-19 minute 5k

Distance: 5,000m
Time: 18:58.7
Pace: 1:53.8
Full details: https://log.concept2.com/profile/1554291/log/59845612

I started rowing after getting a Concept2 in early November 2021. Previous PBs for 5k were 19:50.1 followed by 19:27.0. I'm pretty happy with my progress so far. I've just started the second cycle of Pete's Plan and would really like to get a sub-7 2k in 2021. My current PB on the 2k is 7:30.8 so still a ways to go there.

Happy 2022 fellow ergers!

Started 2022 strong. Added 6m to previous best 30' session. This was one of my more consistent rides.

30'TT on the Skierg....This was ripe for picking and I aimed for 2:05 but it's fair to say it went much better

30:00.0 7,440m 2:00.9 37
5:00.0 1,238m 2:01.1 37
10:00.0 1,239m 2:01.0 37

25:00.0 1,238m 2:01.1 38
30:00.0 1,249m 2:00.0 39

A gain of 569m

Nice. This rather underlines my point about you leaving me well behind on the distance pieces.

You weren't tempted to really put the hammer down and aim for 7500? Very well controlled PB.

Welcome to the forum Benny. A very nice piece to announce your arrival.

Sub-19 is way, way better than a 7.30 2k would suggest IMO. A bit more speed work iaw the PP will soon see you leave that far behind.

Well done AL. You keep chipping away nicely and can't really fault the consistency!

Cheers Max.... didn't have much left on the end so reckon this is a fair assessment of where I am. Pretty heavy cold isn't helping but trying to work through it.

Welcome to the forum Benny, and well done. I agree with Max: this is better than a 7:30 2k so I think you'll beat that very soon

Well done AL. It sounds like you're reaching your (current) upper limit if you're squeezing out small increases. That can obviously change, but you're doing well atm

[MartinSH4321]

So many new Pb's lately, well done all!

[fragandclear]

First 15k+ hour row - 15,021m.

Had to really go for it in the last 6 minute split but got there in the end.

Woke up in the night and thought, ‘I wonder if I could do a marathon?’ And as I had a few hours to spare I gave it a go.
