New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

Almost 10 sec improvement on my previous 1K.
Sub 3 minutes was to hard today, less than 4 hours sleep(baby did not want to sleep all night)
Still happy with the result(considering I’m not a sprinter type), 1 sec behind my row pb.

Henry said it perfectly. Very well done Marius

[_PBH_]

Today was trial day for my 5k. My best 5k was on 4/30: 20:42.9 @ 2:04.2
I felt confident going into today's row. Here's the results:

5k
20:28.5 @ 2:02.8

I was happy with my splits on this row:
Meters Pace Watts S/M
1000 2:04.4 182 25
2000 2:03.6 185 25
3000 2:03.2 187 26
4000 2:02.9 189 25
5000 2:00.0 202 26

I was a little disappointed with how quickly my HR went up. I was over 170 (172) in the second 1000m, kept it to 176 in the third 1000, and peaked at 188 during the last 500m. I guess that's to be expected when pushing hard.

4 more weeks, and we'll try this again.

Congrats!
fwiw, I won't use a HRM when I'm doing a TT or have a hard session. My HR also jumps quickly and the HRM is an unnecessarily effort limiter/governor.

[Dangerscouse]

Well done PBH.

I totally agree with Ray on HR monitors especially for TTs. That will have been subconsciously worrying you and slowing you down; that has happened to me before. The mental battle is lost just when you really need your head to be working with you.

[lancecampeau]

I agree... I havent used a heart monitor yet... but I dont listen to music and often wear earplugs so I can hear my breathing and heart more clearly... after months of this, you can instinctively feel when you are pushing just that little bit too hard.

1300m feels very possible now.

Simply stunning Marius. I wouldn't be surprised if you broke 1350m

Great stuff, marius!

If $1,000 fell from a tree, I'd get one of these machines, but shooting for the long distances, e.g. 50K. I've no chance of competing with the monsters on the sprints .

[Dangerscouse]

Hahaha, I know 1350m isn't going to happen but I'm far too optimistic for my own good!

Indeed common, thats so fast, sub 6.10 pace is needed on 2k for that.

Very impressive Marius! I'd love to see you beat 1300m!

[Gammmmo]

OK, so this was probably a slightly soft PB considering I've done 17:55 for 5K (that would suggest ~10s faster is possible, and "Paul's Law" suggests a variance 1.3s/500m between 5K and 6K so THIS effort today would suggest 18:03 is possible for 5K and the only time I've pulled that other than that 17:55 last summer was an 18:02 I pulled ~2005!!) but I've prioritised weights in the last few months and haven't been near my PBs from late 2016 and into 2017 for a while now, so I am pleased with this. Been knocking on the door of a sub 22min 6K for a while now, and I took a rest day yesterday and haven't done weights for a week, so I felt good on this. I backed off from 1500m-1200m to go (the average maxed at 1:50.5) and then nearly actually HDd at 400m to go but so glad I didn't because as you can see I brought it home quickly...and with my eyes closed! haha. This was a pretty good effort given the form I have right now judging by how I felt at the end. Pleased. Onwards!



And just for good measure I'm now top of the C2 rankings for a LWT at the distance...I've screen grabbed this PDQ because my #1 position will go very soon!

[Dangerscouse]

Great effort Paul, to almost have HDed at 400m to go shows just how hard you were pulling.

I hate 6k distance. I think it's the Team Oarsome monthly challenge for June so it looks like I'll be trying it again soon.

[RayOfSunshine]

Awesome Paul!!! You've got to be stoked. HD to PB!
