New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[max_ratcliffe]

Lots of PBs going on at the moment. Outstanding work Phil, DNA and Tony.
Massive milestones all.

[Dangerscouse]

Sub 18 is good going and a target that I'd like to get after sometime......congrats Phil!

Your FM training will really help you with this target and assuming you're not too feeling too destroyed next week I'd pencil it in for Thursday or Friday to start knocking chunks off your PB.

Not sure about that ....I am still on reduced HR rations atm until I get some sort of feedback from the Cardiologist. Getting frustrated with not being able to push but I've come this far so will wait for the results.

Hopefully the FM won't destroy me too much. It's been nice to have a target to aim for during the blue zone plodding.

Decided on having a crack at my 10,000 pb. Thought id be brave and set out to aim to go sub 36 and failing that, if i can hold on i should end up getting a PB regardless. No quitting!

Considered a negative split approach but then decided against thought. I thought i'd set out hot for 2km, get a buffer and then feed off that.

Didnt warm up, just hopped on and went for it. Focused on my breathing pattern and all went to plan. Didnt put the HR monitor on as i didnt want my central governor kicking in and putting me off.

Another fantastically good piece, Ian. Only trouble is it makes some of your other PBs look relatively weak.

Great job Ian, going sub36 is very strong you are on a good streak now, enjoy it!

Very good result mate, and I'm very envious as this distance is my Achilles heel. Do you think you can squeeze more out? That last split looks like you can.

As Max says, your other distances are all looking a bit soft in comparison. We might as well temporarily personalise this thread to you

Thanks All!

In response to your question Stu - i absolutely think I can squeeze more out. I could probably rate a little higher in the middle part and perhaps go harder at the end. I felt completely fine a few minutes after. The recent interval sessions ive found to be far far far more taxing and they leave me for dead for 24 hours. This on the other hand felt quite energising.
You'll have to give it another crack now

With many doing the BRVC I thought it was a good opportunity to have a go at this distance. Plan was 5 fast pulls to start and then settle into 1.39’s for the remainder with a push at the end. All went to plan and perhaps if i had projected time on the monitor I might have pushed a bit harder to go sub 6.30. I decided to not display it as i did want to get carried away too early. But might change that for next time
