Hour of power PB. Previous score on 4/2/19 13,715m



Image

Heart rate monitor was junk, tore it off 10min in. I started this thinking I would just do 1hr at 2:10 and watch my heart rate, felt good so I tore it off and started reducing my split to 2:05. Found my wall with 20 minutes left, struggled it to stay at 2:05.1 until 15 minutes left, my pace and rate were all over the place from there on.


Definitely targeting 15k hard. Makes me think HM at 2:09 is plausible for me right now

Nice! Huge increase :beer:
I'd definitely say 2:09 was on for a HM. My first hour I only just scraped over 14k, before first trying a HM and battled my way to a 2:08.7. Go for it - the challenge window opens in 2 weeks time! :)

Another WR broken on the skierg yesterday. Not a planned one as I maxed out the df(257) and just wanted a hard 500m before Easter vacation. 1k training paying off.

It's a mark of your outstanding ability that I'm now not at all surprised that you are still breaking WRs. 'Machine' isn't more appropriate for many other people.

Crashed my previous PB by 8 seconds, very satisfying!
Almost exactly how I planned it - stay sub 6:45 till 300m to go and then all what's left. At 200 to go my legs were almost finished, so it was a bit like deadlifting.
