That 2 s / 500 m slower than your 60 PB, but only about 30% more distance. You must have been slacking offTinpusher wrote:HM PB 1:18:50.4 r25 1:52.1

I had planned on sprinting the first and last 150 and maybe the middle 100 or so. But the initial 150 sprint during which I felt OK, but then I started to doubt my ability. So, I just slowed to about 1:55 ish and tried to keep it until the end, which i was able to do.
Yes, I agree...the hard way, especially after later reading a thread on the UK forum about how to pace a 1K.iain wrote: Congratulations on your PB, but I would have thought you did it the hard way and could go even quicker.

Thanks! That might have something to do with the 20 seconds I lost stretching out my numb butt with about 8K to go.DavidA wrote: That 2 s / 500 m slower than your 60 PB, but only about 30% more distance. You must have been slacking off![]()

I'm wondering how you'd get the pace going quickly with no power.iain wrote:You need to get the ergo moving quickly, but most people do this with rating rather than power.
Yes, you went faster, and 38 spm is not all that high for 500 meters.PaulG wrote:I felt like I was shortening my stroke by not coming all the way up the slide for the catch resulting in what I consider to be a high stroke rate of 38 SPM. Was this a good idea
As amended in a similar comment on anoother thread in response to your similar comment, by "power" I am refering to power per stroke (or to explain why I use the terms {somewhat sloppily I admit} interchangeably, lower peak power or work per drive. The "power" on the monitor is average power and with a lower rating but the same power per drive, the same "useful work" is averaged over a longer period and hence the average power is reduced). Thus the average power is increased by taking the rating up maybe 25% while no stroke (except possibly the first, but this is so different I can't compare it) is significantly more powerful than I intend to use for the majority of the race.John Rupp wrote:I'm wondering how you'd get the pace going quickly with no power...iain wrote:You need to get the ergo moving quickly, but most people do this with rating rather than power.
