New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[Anth_F]

Very excellent pace & effort, Paul. Congratulations matey!!!!!

[Gammmmo]

Cheers All!!

@Remi - sub1:20 HM..now that would be nice! Need the same average for another 20mins. TBF an average of "just" 1:55.2/500m would give me 1:20:xx and I'd be pretty happy with that!!
@Paul45 - yes first 30mins was fine but by the time I went thru 10K in 37:56 "the hurt" was already coming on

Hi Henry,
I see, you already doing more then average in the rankings. No surprise there.
Would be interesting te see how a workout on the skierg looks like. If you have the time maybe post a youtube.
Do you think the skierg workout can contribute to the erg performance?
Have fun; Siebe

My "deadzone" for the HOP is 32 minutes to 10 minutes. It's a killer...

I seldom film myself, don,t like seeing myself, but could ofcourse. Expected to do ok ish soon, less competition in the ski ranks, plus now also in the 50 + cat. Which is both in row and erg a big help.

Over here in Amstelveen we have c2 shop, so you could try, or come along here and try if you are around

Don,t think it directly helps erging. The legs/back which do the most work on the rower are not the main movers on the ski.
Thats lats/triceps/core. Legs and back do the recovery. Just the opposite from rowing.

Gams - sorry I missed your PB. Great stuff. I have the hour in the back of my mind to do soon.

My 30 minute PB was ten years old and 7,211 meters. Younger me can eat my dust:

@Glenn - cheers fella!

@gcanyon - yup, know that feeling very satisfying. Well done sir!

Nice H - "salad days" at the beginning. Ski erg has me interested. Seems like a nice "opposite" to erging.

Cheers, ofcourse not really pb, pbs. Expect to get a good bit faster.

Really different from the rower, no back loading. Only a week in, but my first impression is possitive. A minus could be that you have less people to "spar" with. Haven,t seen them in a gym yet. Picked mine up at a decent discount, after being used a few times a crossfit comps.
Will keep you guys informed

New PB for a season. Has taken me 8 years to get the over 7500m+ a day average while still maintaining a decent pace.

2750Km total in 186:14:41.7 hours or 2:01.9 average pace at easily less than 20 spm. Finally hit the goal of just over 7500+meters a day.
