New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[mitchel674]

6k is a horrible distance too. I can't get my head around the pacing.

Stu, just row your 6k at your 10k pace. You will have a new 6k PB with plenty of time to spare!

Hahaha, i haven't noticed that. Maybe I'll give it another go sometime soon. My 6k PB was done as part of a recent fast 10k so I probably need to do a proper 6k TT. It's a distance that I never think of doing.

Just shaved over 4 mins off my previous personal best in the marathon. Pulled a tidy 2:07.4 in the first half... put the handle down for 90 seconds to stretch my legs and have a juice box.... then centered around 2:11 for most of the second half. Ramped up the pace over the final 2K and held 1:32 in the last 100m dash. I have been doing a lot of hard piece training at all distances recently. This has really helped my times. I finally feel ready to try the 10K @ 1:57.5 after this effort.

Wow Lance, between the sub7 and this you are killing it. Getting really strong there.
Below 3:03 is awesome!!

Excellent effort Lance. You are more than capable of the 10k that you're aiming for. Trust your progress.

Awesome work Lance. I'm not doing a marathon any time soon! Just to complete one, I think, is impressive.

Thanks for the kind words everyone... 24 hours later... feeling good. That 10K @ 1:57.5 will be mine soon! After that, I'm going to attempt the 15K/60min. Also hoping for marginal improvements to my 100m, 1min, 500m & 4min PB's before the end of the season.

Once all that is done, I'll be doing weights until the start of next season.

Took 3 days off then went back to the gym tonight and smashed my 10K... Took 44.1 seconds off... it was a very difficult piece. My body does not like these max effort / mid distances at all. Heavy/double breathing throughout... glad its over... Next up... the 60min

That's a big chunk!! Congrats.

Thats going rapidly in the right direction

Feeling good on the skierg at the moment. The only thing I'm a little bit unsure of is the drag factor. Still testing with different settings.

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. You're a machine. Very impressive result Marius. I'm thinking of doing skierg again as my Friday spin class is ending from next week.

Thanks You should really go ahead and include the skierg in your training. It's a very good workout. I can even vaguely start to see the top of the six-pack now, the two-pack

@ Lance - awesome work on that 10K. You're killing it now! I hate those types of workouts but I'm getting used to it this year (doing a LOT of hard, longer workouts to make them seem easier). That is a tough one! Nice work!

1st 2k time trial today!
Hit 6:57.3, with pretty even splits. 1:43 for the first and last 500s and 1:45 for the middle 2.
Pretty happy with this. I didn't even have a good kick left so I definitely went 100% all out on this one.

That is a time to be proud of even if it wasn't your first 2k TT attempt, which makes it even more special
