Thankyou - it's appreciated. Yes, even with current form I think a figure getting towards 8100m is possibly there, but I know I'm not quite in the shape I need to be to break my old PBs.....yet!!! Onwards... :twisted:

I'm sure you can - your 30min PB looks the strongest, so I'd say update some of your others too if you have good form. Bit of healthy competition pushes us all to higher levels....

6K @ 22:58.4 (does sub 23:00 mean anything :) ) .
81st percentile for my age bracket, which for this distance is just fine for me.

Only weight classes :wink: Think you are selling yourself short, and you likely have more to gain, if you give it some time.

I hope so,need to work on my power and fitness whilst staying injury free,and finding the time in a busy work schedule.

I guess we all have that challenge so I will stop moaning :oops:

Wish I was stronger in bench,i struggle with the 5 x 5 x 70 kg!!However my back is quite strong,its just knowing what to do to get the best results on limited time.
