HM PB - 1:21:57 - -3'43''

I spontaneously decided to do a HM TT as my legs felt pretty good and I had enough time. Weather was perfect, +6°C and little wind.
Goal was sub 1:22:00, so the plan was a pace of sub 1:57,5 till 5k to finish and then fasten up. I felt great, as you can see HR was around 150 till I paced up, and the finish was not all out, only enough to hit the target. Looking back I think I can go sub 1:21:00, but it would be a big mental challenge.
Nevertheless, I'm super-happy with this effort, esp. as I'm not built for this distance

Thank you Dino! Looking at my 60' PB I was sure to be much faster at HM, but being that fast was a nice surprise

[MartinSH4321]

Thank you Alex!
Will you try your first HM soon?

Maybe....I have a seat pad now

I'm sure you'll do fine, your 60' proof that. I would recommend to pace the first one conservative, just to see how it feels, the goal is to finish without too much trouble

Totally agree. It might not be what you want to hear but you need to do a few of them before you really start to make progress with them.

The distance just seems too daunting until you get used to it.

......esp. as I'm not built for this distance

See......I knew that one day you would admit to having been built by cyborgs from another land!!
A quick circuit change and you'll be back on sprint mode

Yeah, but I try to minimize my sprint stuff for the next months, too much influence on my aerobic work and the risk to like it so much I'll neglect my slow stuff

Thanks, training really pays off atm, still a long way to match your PBs

Just did my first 10k in almost 2 months and knocked 11 seconds off my PB. Small gains, but still feels good.

5k PB - 18:03,3 - -7,5''

I wasn't sure if I should do this TT today or not as my son woke up at 5, so poor sleep, and a little cough, but I decided to go for it. Target was sub18, but I paced up too late. With an all out last 500m 18:01.x were possible, but as sub18 was out of reach a fast last 500m was sufficient.
A little disappointed, but is was a good effort with a good bit left in the tank, so next time definitely sub18

It's like playing PB bingo with Martin ....which one will he pull off today

Great effort on possibly unsettled preparation. I'd happily take it at the moment!

I love an unexpected PB more than any other. You defo have got a sub 18 in you, but belief is a huge part of a 5k and that only comes step-by-step.

Now you have levelled up again you'll smash 18 mins very soon
