1min PB (338m from 332m) and 1K PB (3:23.9 from 3:26.9) done too. The 1K was weirdly paced (1:40.4, 1:42.6, 1:43.0 and 1:41.8 each 250m).

Got the 4 PBs (1min, 500m, 1K and 2K) at way higher DF than usual (150 for the 2K, 165-170 for the rest), with a rather constant -1.5s/500m improvement (the 500m was -1.8s/500m).

Will try to squeeze a 5K, a 10K and, less likely, an HM TT before end of the season, even if recently I haven't trained for longer distances.
You're in great form on the shorter stuff Max . Well done. I'll have to give that higher DF a try myself! DF 150 for 2k looks interesting!

I rowed a new 5k PB during week 4 of the ErgEnduranceSeries. It‘s not official as it was a part of a 1/4 marathon. Last PB was 05.06.23: 23:17.4 at 2:19.7

But I also rowed a 6k at 2:16.9 pace last summer. I have to revisit the 5k soon.

Well done Julia, and this just proves that you need to re-test as many PBs as possible
51 HWT; 6' 4"; 1k= 3:09; 2k= 6:36; 5k= 17:19; 6k= 20:47; 10k= 35:46 30mins= 8,488m 60mins= 16,618m HM= 1:16.47; FM= 2:40:41; 50k= 3:16:09; 100k= 7:52:44; 12hrs = 153km

Really good work here, to PB knowing you're straight in to another 5km is a brave call!
