New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

Another 1k skierg PB
My training partner and I had a race again during the gym warmup - he on the rower, me on the skierg.
Last week on Monday I could improve my old PB by >2s, today I shaved another 1.5s off
I used a higher rate this time (+3 average) and it worked well. Except my burning lungs afterwards

My training partner tried to go below 3:20, but missed the goal with a 3:20.8, which is his new best on the rower

Very strong on the Skierg....congrats

Thx Alex!
Every time I do some stuff on the skierg, it's mindblowing to me how much harder that is

Congratulations Sascha. I'm not sure quite how hard this is as I don't know enough about the skierg, but I know it looks like a really solid time

Thx Stu!
If you get a possibility to try, go for it - it is much fun
Unfortunately, there is not a huge group of skierg users to compare, but rankings give me 2nd out of 37 my age group or 10th out of 147 all ages, so it seems not too bad

New 6k PB. It's not a very common distance for me. But I had to get the CTC in. Last ranked piece was a year ago. Reduced the PB by one minute.

Pretty pleased with that as I had only 3 training sessions in the last 4 weeks due to vacation and back injury.

Congratulations, that's a big improvement. The 6k is a strange distance and not one I do often at all.

Sometimes the best workouts come at the most unexpected times...

Half Marathon PB today! I believed I'd have the fitness to beat my 1:16:15 from May, but had no idea by how much... Set out with a game plan of sitting on 1:47 for the first few kilometers, and adjusting up to 1:48s if needed. A third of the way through, was still feeling surprisingly good and springy at 1:47, and the belief that I could hold it for the remaining ~14k took hold. There were a few uncomfortable kilometers in the middle, but more so due to posterior pain and hot spots on my hands, less so due to (lack of) fitness or my legs giving out. Pleased that I was able to power up over the last ~2k to crack a sub-1:47 average. And because I'm always my own worst critic, my first thought upon finishing was "damn.... so close to sub 1:15...". Next time!

Same here, a minute faster on a 6k is huge - congrats!

Very very impressive result Justin, and that last 1097m is rude. It's a really shocking thought that you could have gone sub 75 mins if you 'just' committed a bit earlier on. Incredible.
