I HD'd on this session last time out, at 1:47/1:48, so really pleased with this. I nearly switched it in favour of going back to bed as I'm between night shifts, but glad I got it in now.

A sub 7 is all too easily forgotten as something to always be very proud of. Four consecutive is really impressive, especially with a neg split.

Should definitely start a regular stretching routine.

I've always been very bad at stretching, but I do always advocate doing more of it, especially your feet which is something I've been doing a lot more of recently.

It's quite surprising how much of an effect it has with the entire body.

BPP W11S1 - 10k steady......very hot and decided to do it lunchtime which is not my norm. Didn't feel terrible but HR drifted into zone 5 briefly so maybe pushing it harder than necessary.

This is a great result and bodes well for a 5K PB for you. I had a similar score before my 5K PB. I think you would crush current score and go sub 17:30. It's hard to do 4 sub 7:00 2Ks even with 5 min rest. This is really good work!

[alex9026]

Should be good for comfortably under 17.30 for 5km based on this!

Hopefully...just need to pluck up the courage to try it!

A sub 7 is all too easily forgotten as something to always be very proud of.

Absolutely, for the novice rower (don't particularly like to use this term and given my lack of experience I still consider myself one) a sub 7 is a very good benchmark, even more so for the lightweights out there. And agree with you re the effects stretching, or lack of, can have on the body. I went to see a physio for what I perceived to be a knee injury, turns out it was all stemming from my hip.

Thanks Keith, I appreciate the kind words. I find it hard to judge how a workout might suggest what time one is capable of over a set distance. Guess there is only one way to find out, hopefully prove you and deadlifting265 right!

Absolutely agree. You will get sub 17:30, no question.

I'm also in agreement. A sub 17:30 is within your reach, and possibly quite a bit under that too

Definitely a 5k PB due, by how much is up to you.

FYI, when I got to 6.31 for 2k I did a 5k four days later at 17.05. All depends on how balanced your training has been.

On Saturday I literally had no energy to do anything. Sunday I had a great & long day at the cricket with my mates, which took a big chunk out of me as it was steady drinking from 11am until 9pm.

Weights last night felt better than I expected, but I needed to be careful this morning as I've got to do the 6k tomorrow, as I've left it far too late again.

I thought cricket was about a ball and a cricket bat

This will get a 4th boat floating for TO

Two days of "boring" but effective work while traveling.

One thing I noticed was the altitude; I live at about 850m (2788') which doesn't seem to have much of a difference from sea level, maybe ever so slightly, but I have been at 1560m (5118') the last few days and training here, and while HR seems to have stayed relatively in check (avg 128bpm both days compared to 126-130bpm average two weeks ago while training at sea level), breathing was a bit more labored.

7/29: Bodyweight Strength. 30 rounds of 5 Pull-Ups, 10 Push-Ups, and 10 Walking Lunges (per leg) in 60:00.
