New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[mdpfirrman]

Awesome work Rob! That's one I hate but I have to take on soon myself! Great work!

Remi - you are a powerful man!

Went out too hot on my 60 min TT yesterday. Handle down after 24 min, but PR’d unofficially both 20 min (5663 m) and 6k (21:10 min), so just need to pace smarter next time

Wow 1:45 pace for a 60 mins TT?!?! Great effort on the 6k. I hate that distance almost as much as 30r20

Inspired by Tom I too decided to take on 30', which I too hate.

My previous PB was 7819. Slow next to my other times but for some reason I couldn't crack it...

... until today where I obliterated it by 149m to set a new PB of 7968. Ultimately, this is still 32m off my goal for the season so I shouldn't really be celebrating, but I feel very happy to have made up so many meters towards the magic 8k. I feel that my longer aerobic work is paying off and that 8000 really is in my sights now.

Great job!
Congratulations!
Good luck on getting to the 8 km soon.

Crushed my old 10k PR of 36:12. Perfect pacing!?

Remi, first off - congrats on a strong PB!
Question (from a proponent of negative split strategies): what predictors were you using to set an hour-attempt pace of 1:45 and your 10k early pace of 1:46?

Remi, second off, looks positive-ly painful!

Wow. That is very impressive in both time and improvement in PB.

Nice one (again!) Remi. Been training hard, or been on the hot sauce? (joke)

P.S. Have you had time away from erging and then resumed training? I sometimes think that might be a good strategy to re-set the mind (many people including me get hung up I reckon on what we think we can and can't do) and prevent HDs etc...

Thanks I had four weeks off in July/August, and did 3 months in "zombie land" after that. Felt rubbish on the Erg. I have an average of approx. 5600 m daily this season, but the biggest difference is definitely losing weight. Was 107 kg ( ) 1.1.18, and i'm now 98.

Almost lightweight Looks like a first for more...

Ski TT for me. 60min 150.8 16245m. Rate 38 drag 129

Paced it just right. 151 ish mostly, 50/55min, bit slower, hard last min, 133 ish at the finish.

That is very impressive Henry!

That is very impressive Henry!

Thx, went well, could keep going, not yet sub 1.50 but certainly happy with this effort

Wow! Impressive for sure.

I can barely get 1:50 for a single stroke.

Have my skierg now for 9 months. Started out around 1.54 ish pace in 5k, after a few weeks. Have been using it serious 50/50% with the rower. Have trained from sept 6 times a week, slowly building the meters. Now doing around 12k per session, excluding wu/cd. No fluf meters...
So it is paying off to work relative hard.

[Dangerscouse]

Great session Henry.

[mdpfirrman]

Remi - Wow, out like a cannon! That looks dreadful!

Henry - great to see you in such great shape. Sounds like the SkiErg is just what the doc ordered! Congrats!
