New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

5k r 20 - 18:29.9 (1:51.9)-HR peak 167

Early am, fasted, Strapless and Rate 20 but since I've never really pushed a free rate 5k (and no intention of doing one anytime soon)- this will stand as my 5k PR for now- was not too bad so I'll keep pushing these for a while and see what shakes out- I think sub 1:50 very plausible in short term- again primary goal is to develop aerobic fitness enough to where the last 100m of a 500m sprint are decent enough so I don't experience a dramatic fade!

Deadlifts this afternoon


Terry I cleaned the monitor for ya (some people actually work out hard enough to sweat!!! )

Well done Shawn! On an empty stomach too.

Nice going Shawn, strapeless, low rate and all!

Steady she goes, Shawn. Looks like you are well on your way to building up endurance. I look forward to see what you can do to a 2k one of these days.

Woot!

Finally broke that 15k barrier for my 60' workout. 15,140m down. That catches me up to the pace I was at for 30' rows before I started doing 60' rows every weekday. Its a good day.

Nice going jadomatis. Next is a sub 2:00 - HM. You won´t have much problems with that either. Great work.

Thanks all- hopefully quite a bit more to come- Bob- turn 50 in just over a year, then I can look at the 2k provided I've done what I want to with the shorter stuff

Good work Jadomatis!

5k PB: 17:29.9 - 1:44.9
Not particularly well planned. Was on the second of 3 x 5k with a few others on RowPro. Did the first at 1:55, felt ok, and decided to see how a 1:46 would feel. The third was 1:55 again. No race, as everyone held own pace in each set.

So, for my PB I was on 1:46.2 at half way, felt fine so sped up a notch to about 1:45.3 with 750 left; final 250 split was 1:38.x

I think I'm on track for the proper goal of 17:20, 1:44, by month's end.

Great 5k Damien!

Damn Damien.....you're rippin' it! I'm following your work outs and you seem to be getting some really fast times when you go out (relatively) easy, probably I should say more like manageable. You've definitely influenced my approach to racing. Keep the hammer down.

Shawn, very nice 20r 5k there a coupla days ago.

Looks like the big dogs are coming out to play. Looking forward to Henry's 2k on Saturday, I'm sure he'll rip it.
