Good Day,
Smashed my 5k. Was going to try for sub 18:30, blew it out of the water.
18:07.1 or 1:48.7

Really wondering what a 2k test would result in. Maybe next week.

Hope you are all well.

Boom, that is a great achievement! Congrats!

Sorry Keith, you stirred up my competitive side and I had to chase you down.

I almost didn't do it all as my gastric emptying wasn't optimal so my breathing was a bit of a struggle and my HR was elevated from early on. I'm slightly optimistic that I could go under 2:45 on a better day but I'm very happy with this result.

I think I need to rethink my max HR as this was 98% at the end and it was horrible, but not about to burst type of horrible.

FWIW, the first 5k was 1:58.0 at r23

Congratulations here too Stu, I am realizing more and more how big of a distance the FM actually is, so nothing but respect from my side to your achievement

[lindsayh]

mighty impressive Stu - very clever and that steady @1:58 is just spooky

Wow, what a super strong result Stu, big congrats, and a great way to start the season!

Nice one, Stu. Congratulations. I'm not surprised TBH as you've been hitting top form of late. Agree with others - the OCD is a bit spooky! And as you predicted, you're already analysing and figuring out how you could be even faster.

That's a colossal improvement, well done. Good luck with the continuing work on the PP. I do read your updates even though I'm not PPing ATM. It's good to know there's a user base out there.

Thanks very much all. Tbh, I find the OCD is a great way of passing the time and distraction from the effort. It's easier than you think when you start really concentrating on it.

50k next Monday, and hopefully another PB. I think that was at 2:06 average so I'm hoping for a big chunk off that one too.

Despite my uncontrollable optimism, I have accepted that a 2k PB for the C2 Spring Series Challenge this week isn't going to happen, but I'll give it a good go

Great result Stu, you've gone after this and seen it through. Fantastic endurance effort!

What was your max HR? Do you mean you're lowering it or raising it?

Nice one Stu great PB, the tough ones are always the best.

I can remember my HR at the end of my HM PB being 183 and max had just been tested at Sheffield Hallam Uni at 173.

Well done Stu, no fade, never easy to not to during a marathon.

[Dangerscouse]

Thanks mate, I thought my max was 180 but seeing it at 176 makes me wonder if I could get it higher.

Thanks Nick, it's always a better feeling when you really have to work for it. That's very interesting about your HR.

Well done Stu, no fade, never easy to not to during a marathon.

Thanks Henry, I was really struggling at 6k, and it felt like I just couldn't apply any more power for a short time, so I was very glad to have a revival with 2k to go
