New 10,000m PB. First time ever under 40 mins. Absolutely buzzing. Was holding on for dear life at the end. Added bonus, think I found my max HR! Lol

Nice one, well done.

Cheers mate

Well done for hanging in there at the end - always a great feeling smashing under a milestone time/distance too!

Thank you. Wasn’t pleasant at the end but we got it done. Lol

Big milestone and that last 2k made me wince!! I can feel the pain and I'm really impressed you kept going when your mind was undoubtedly screaming at you to stop. Well done

Thanks Stu. You are absolutely bang on the money. With 3000m to go everything was screaming stop. Did not think I’d be able to hold on until the end. But that’s where the mental side kicked in and saw me through.
Haven’t seen my HR hit 180 for years. To be in the 180s for 8mins was a dark place. Lol

Wow!! That’s an unbelievably good time. I’m sure you’ll go sub 36 soon enough. But should be proud of this effort too!!!

Thx Mike!
Currently lower rates suite me better, as I can control my breath much better. But slightly higher rate should also work well. On r27 I'm around 1:40-1:41 pace and this is clearly to fast for a 10k
I could back off the stroke power, probably I will do so the next time to find a better sweet spot.

I'm absolutely convinced to find these 1.5s with a slightly higher stroke rate.

You can definitely go higher HR in the last 2K

P.S.
No need to say, impressive.

Thank you as well!
HR monitor passed out, I bet I was sneaking above 180.
And there was no chance for a faster sprint in the end, I was huffing and puffing very hard

To take almost a minute off an already impressive 10k - and that your disappointed about not sneaking those lasts 2 seconds in speak volumes - Many congrats that's a huge effort there!

The old 10k PB wasn't a full effort one, it was the outcome of an r24 AT session. So the huge chunk off is not showing the truth...
But what amazes myself is I was able to take this chunk off at the same rate!
Thank you!

Wow!! That’s an unbelievably good time. I’m sure you’ll go sub 36 soon enough. But should be proud of this effort too!!!

Thx!
Even if not reached the target yet, I'm very satisfied with the result and kind of proud

Long time no see in this thread

Today's CTC lead to a new PB for the 10k as expected, as this was the first time I went really hard on this distance.
As my season goal was (or still is!) a sub 36, I set this as my target. Wanted to build up a small cushion, so started a bit faster, then eased in to 1:48. Already from 4k it was hard to maintain and already at 6k a really hard time started. My legs started to burn and I felt soreness creeping up. But I tried to hold on or at least not back off so much. Always kept an eye on predicted time and tried to hold it below 36:10, in case there could be some left in the tank for a sprint in the end.
I could increase the pace a bit, but it wasn't enough to get it below 36
So I need to go again this season to get it done.

You should be proud of this Sascha. It took me ages to go sub 36, but you're now within smelling distance of a massive milestone.

Oh yes, I can literally smell the overwhelming feeling of the other side
I know it! It will happen this season

First, congrats on the PB and great score! However, I know missing the sub 36 is killing you but you will get it. Your split pattern looks a lot like mine for my PB as far as building some cushion and my overall SPM was 24 too but varied more. Happy for you and know you will go sub 36 next go.

Not really killing me, as I know that I have it in me. A bit frustrating, but motivating at the same time
Not sure, if I can go again this month for the CTC, but very confident to get it done this season

Awesome effort, getting under 40 is a big achievement. It's always amazing how high the HR can get when you're hanging on at the end!

that looks like a very well paced and very fast 10k. Congratulations!

your heart rate staying so constant for the final 3/4 of the row is interesting...is that at/close to your max?

(not sure what to make of the last reading?)

well done

[Sakly]

Super impressive, I don't know how you hold these kind of splits on such a long distance and relatively low rate!

Thx!
On a lower rate I can control my breathing better, so I try to maintain a high stroke power on a lower rate. But next time I will try to up the rate a bit, but decrease the stroke power slightly to see if I can find a better sweet spot to get these 1.5s

Thx Nick!
176 is 95% of my max, so I was pushing hard the whole time.
If the HR monitor wouldn't have passed out, I am sure we would have seen 180s in the last split and my "sprint".

To my surprise I don't feel any sore or aching muscles today after a good night's sleep
Nevertheless, today's gym session will get interesting
