New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[max_ratcliffe]

Given the crazy-good PBs being posted here (Andrew! for example) this is definitely not a brag but I did manage to take almost 6 seconds off my 5k today and end up with 18:19.4.

Any improvement in PB is always something to brag about.

Andrew's exploits are making us all think like my younger son (apologies if I've told this story before). When I told him that a girl at his school was the 200m state champion for her age group, he asked me how long it took her. I replied that I didn't know, but I'd guess about 28s.

He snorted dismissively and said "Bolt is faster".

Perspective is everything.

@ Alasdair, well done 18:19.4 i know what you mean, with thinking you could eek out a bit more in hindsight.. Well the good news is you could. Easy to say afterwards i know. However during what ever distance your doing at your max everything is burning and just want it all stop.. Good result.

Thanks Andrew - and what a great new 2k time!

That looks like some serious pain.

Nice, two pb s in a row! Keep on training!

[Andrew Shuck]

@Alasdair, I find with increased fitness i go faster, but the pain feels just as bad as when i did slower times.
@ Martin, thanks a lot.
@ Henry, i needed to do something about my 2k today as i'm not able to train for next 5 days. Ideally i should of spaced out these two p.b. attempts.Cheers.

Yes!!!! You did what we all knew you could do and went Sub 6:20 - awesome!! Don't test your 1K any time soon - I want to stay ahead of you on at least one or two distances

It was a good effort, but I definitely have more in me, it hurt at the end, but I didn't feel like falling off the erg like last time. The middle (100-700) is doable with 1:33,5, maybe a bit below, sub 3:05 next time!

Nice! I see 3.00 in the distance. This certainly is a distance you need to grow into. Look how much you had left in power.

Thank you Henry!
Yeah, definitely a distance where I need more TTs, but it felt really good, a distance that fits to me Sub 3:00 is still a goal for this season, todays TT encourages me that this is possible!

Its also a matter of guts, look at your 500, you have heaps left, but this was a good confidence builder.

Good job Martin! Paced pretty good but you could probably take it all a little lower to go even faster - but you and Andrew need to stay away from my sub 3:00

Just kidding - I am loving seeing all these PBs lately, its a fun journey when you are improving like you are and doing impressive times. You have been training hard and you just keep getting better - funny how that works huh?
