My 500m is my best distance. My others are(don't remember decimals):

1000m 3:27
2000m 7:40
5000m 20:36
30 min 7136m

I've only been at this since March. For some reason I am better at the shorter distances.

Thanks for sharing. I think some time this week I'll do a 500m PB attempt. High 20's (1:29) is a good goal to shoot for I think. You should work on your endurance more than your sprinting.

Good luck. Making it to the 20s would be great. That's my goal too.

And of course, you are right, I need to work on endurance.

Thaks for your interest,

I gave myself a penalty workout after quitting a 60 minute workout. Couldn.t keep up the pace and quit after 40 minutes...

However, the "penalty workout" got my 500 meter down from 1.43.9 to 1.39.4

Non rowing/erg related. I deadlifted 465 pounds for a 5 pound PR. A small improvement but an improvement none the less.

I know this is rowing related website, but I wanted to brag somewhere. Thanks for reading.

Hey friends,

Today, I broke 22 minutes in the 5k for the first time.

Old PB: 22:35
New PB: 21:58.7

It feels good to know the training is helping!

Congrats! 20 minutes is right around the corner.

Well done Bryan! You're getting awefully close to my 5K PB. Maybe we can set a target date for a first attempt to break 20 minutes and set up a dedicated training schema?

i did my first real 2k test ever today... i've been rowing for 4 years and row and race a lot on the water, but my team never does erg tests. my doubles partner and i thought we might as well get a 2k time down while we're in shape from nationals and so we went for it today.

i got a 7:46 and i'm really happy with it.
i'm 17, about 122lbs, and a girl.

my splits were as follows, i kind of flew and died.
1st 500: 1:53.3 @ 31
2nd 500: 1:56.5 @ 31
3rd 500: 1:58.6@ 31
4th 500: 157.7 @ 32

i think with better pacing i could improve my time, but i'm very happy with it as a benchmark.

Despite a period of lackluster and rather sporadic training due to holidays and busy schedule, I finally was able to knock a few seconds off my 5000m time. 19:10 down to 19:06. Had to pull 1:38 for the last couple of minutes. Pretty well lathered up at that point. Decided not to keep going to 30 minutes.

I shot past my previous 60min PB, set during the last millenium

(14,290 m on 6/17/1995), to reach 14,539 m this morning.

I'm tired, but psyched...

I broke 8M lifetime meters this morning! Only took about 7 years longer than I expected, but I'm not complaining; I've logged over 1.2 M meters since February, which is only 100K short of my best (calendar) year since I started in 1992.

Cheers,

Daniel

My first half-marathon: 92:21.9 min (2:11.3 min/500 m ave).

Also, when I include the cooldown, the longest (103:33 min) and furthest (23,117 m) I've ever done in a single sitting. I forgot to drink a glass of water before I started so my legs were getting a bit crampy, but other than that I was able to finish very strong (<2:00 min/500 m) for the last 2,000 m and I feel pretty good.
