New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[Sakly]

Thanks Sascha. TP was 356 last time out (age 74!) but I'm pretty confident he's capable of 360.

Wow, both impressive numbers from you, especially given the ages!
20-30 years younger, I'm within that range hitting "only" 358m

Ha! You may be only just in front on the sprints...but we both conk out after a few minutes whereas you can keep going for hours - no competition there!

Sure, my engine is relatively big compared to my sprint numbers
But I think explosive power is more important as we age, so I would be pleased, if I can get these results at the same age! Until then I'll try to be as good as possible at the longer stuff as well

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all have had an enjoyable holiday season and are looking forward to an awesome 2025!

Sharing two somewhat unexpected PBs to wrap-up my 2024 -- quite satisfying Christmas presents for myself, if I do say!

I did a practice 2k on Monday in preparation for race day on Feb 1st. Very pleased overall as I executed my race plan well, just lacked a bit of juice in my closing sprint. Not entirely unexpected that I'd set a PB, but was a bit surprised to be this close to my sub-6:10 target. 5 weeks of the training plan left to hopefully get me there.

Code: Select all

Time	Meters	Pace	Watts	Cal/Hr	S/M
6:10.5	2,000m	1:32.6	440	1815	35
1:32.1	500m	1:32.1	448	1841	35
1:33.3	1,000m	1:33.3	431	1783	33
1:33.2	1,500m	1:33.2	432	1787	34
1:31.9	2,000m	1:31.9	451	1851	39

This 10k was more unexpected and a bit out of the blue with my focus on the 2k the last couple months. Shaved ~20 seconds off my season best from a few months ago. I wouldn't have attempted this at all had my training plan not called for it this week. Turns out the 2k plan has had some nice side benefits as well for the longer distances...

Code: Select all

Looking forward to seeing this group's updates and PBs in the new year!

Very impressive results Justin, and the amazing thing is you're still going to get faster.

Merry Christmas to you too
