New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[Tenshuu]

@Tenshu/Henry - lots of short, half strokes just keeping it spinning on 1:25s. Was tying up slightly at the end....saw a 1:27.

That "keep it spinning" mindset is a bear. The spring off of your compression goes slack but the upper back is strong - just need a little help from the legs to start the drive strong when you're at those last seconds.

My plan was to do it according to Keith's scheme and the first 500m were as I wished but than I s**t my pants and thought "no, I can't speed up for another 50 stokes". So, instead of 1:35 I did 1:36.5 for 200m and then recognized I could have gone faster. So speed up, the last 200m were good.
So I'm VERY pleased with the time, sub 3:10 was a big goal! And to know a faster time was possible is good for my next TT

Thanks Keith for your help!

@Martin - sub 3:10...always nice to dip under a particular time "block". Build some endurance and that time should come down further obvs as the 1K is still fairly aerobic. Good job...

Thanks Gammmmo! You're right, my lack of endurence prevent me from faster times, even 1min and 500m I'm sure. My focus is on improving my aerobic capacity and I had some nice gains in the last 6 months, but still a lot of work to do In the next weeks I'll try to achive new PB for 10k and 30min, sub 38:45 and >7850 should be possible, a long way ahead to match your scores

Nice, I would say give it a few goes, there is clearly a good bit extra to gain. Rating wise, and energy left at the finish.

Nevertheless Congrats

Thanks Henry, I'll soon try it once more, now 3:08.X is the goal!

Just saw a fast 2k, 5.36, rating 37.. The key to fast erging is being able to rate high.

Sounds very doable, your base speed is high enough, if your fitness catches up a bit ....

Super time... well done.
From my point of view (i.e. no expert on these things) pacing looks very good... got it moving in the first 100, settled into nice pace and then ramped up last 200. Looks like a well contained max effort.

Woohoo!! Was very happy to see this and glad I could provide some insight for you. The pacing really wasn't bad at all and close to what I suggested, especially seeing the low splits at the end shows you could have held the middle splits more. Next time I would follow the same strategy and just aim to hold the middle closer to 1:35. Great time and you got more!

[Dangerscouse]

Now that's what I'm talking about...+4m on previous PB and a target I've had for months. Very pleased.

Yes Paul!! Very happy for you mate!! r55 is crazy!

Great effort Martin. That last 100m looks really painful, and very strong

[SowfLondonRower]

Decided to do a HM for the first time today, kind of on a whim... So a default PB: 1:29:49.2.



Hadn't done real prep so gave myself a soft-ish target of 90mins. Ended up with a few blisters on my right hand but otherwise body feels fairly fine - probably could have pushed the pace slightly. Still, happy with it for a first go

Thanks Keith, your insights were really helpful! Next time I'll have the confidence in the middle splits. I'm really happy with my improvements, but it's a long, long way to match your current times

Bad to hear you're down with a flu, I hope you get well soon! But to see it positive, a break from training every now and then to regenerate can be helpful. I'm often to motivated to take breaks even if I need them and only illness can stop me, it sounds like you behave alike
