Supplements and anything else to help with a 2k attempt...

No ones mentioned the placebo effect

Massive effect...esp so on the erg IME.

Whoop whoop! 6:38.00

Managed to beat my 15 year old pb by 1 second! Absolutely buzzing!

I must have missed where you share your current height, weight, age?
Just curious because beating a real, honest, kickass, hardcore, super fit PB (meaning that you were in the best condition possible at time of previous PB) after 15 years is remarkable. Not saying impossible. Unless said PB was done at age 14.

Also since this was nearly one year in the making we’d like to hear about your training plan.

Tx in advance

Thanks for the congratulations.

It was a pretty grim row. (when are they nice?). I took a pre-workout supplement from one of the online protein suppliers which had a mix of things in it - main one being caffeine. I haven't been on the creatine long enough to benefit. Completely agree about the placebo effect.

Essentially I wasn't going to have time to get the benefit from any supplements and squeeze an attempt in before the anniversary of starting to get fit again,zo I decided just to have a crack.

I had a game plan written on a post-it note but left it at the office.

I went out a bit too fast, but that gave me a buffer, and from 500m in I was sliding down towards the cut-off pace.

The last 500 I just had nothing left. I was looking down at my legs and they just weren't delivering the power I expected.

Absolute ecstatic
