New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[nick rockliff]

Need some more volume in my training to be hitting big numbers on the difficult(for me) 60 minute distance, but after the failed(HD) attempt on the half marathon 2 days ago, I will settle with this for now

Good feeling overall, minimal numbness in butt and legs

16672 - 1:47.9 - rate 27 - avg HR 162

Nice one, gives confidence moving forward.

Well done Jo Andre, a very strong result! With some practise for the longer rows your score will be even more impressive

Thanks a lot Martin, yeah unless anything changes drastically, I want to be closing in on 17k towards the end of this season. With fresh feet I could optimally go into the 167xx now(also the pace calculator indicates this), so need to improve by about 300 meters, which should be possible. Will you do any work on your 60' the coming season?

Looking at your 5k and 30', with a bit more practise I think you're already capable of doing close to 17k, so that's a good goal for this season.

My season goal is 16.200m, right now I think I can do around 15.900, not far away from a big milestone. I hope to give it a try soon, but it's also a matter of temperature, no fun in summer

Yeah that might be, I am also afraid to be getting to the halfway point, having left to much juice in the 1st half, so that I am tempted to HD on the 2nd half. If I dared to try starting harder some time, that might cause me to HD, or it might cause me to get a better score

Splits for each 5 mins were:
1:50.7 - 1:49.5 - 1:49.5 - 1:48.4 - 1:48.3 - 1:47.9 - 1:47.6 - 1:47.7 - 1:47.4 - 1:47.1 - 1:46.6 - 1:44.4

Yeah with your excellent progress lately, I would estimate on a good day you might already be able to break 16k Great goal for the season, full belief that you can do it!

Nice Hour, but relative speaking still not good enough. Looking at your 2k I mean. Which is a good thing, more to gain yet

First time I go Sub-7 on the 2k
Could probably have paced it a bit better, but just wanted to make sure I hit the 7 min mark.

Big congrats, I agree with Alex this is -the- big one for many many ergers! Quite low rating too!

Probably wasn't the best day to do it, but when is it ever? My back was aching from too much sitting with the laptop on the couch and I was tired from watching tv shows too late last night. But I did not want to waste another training day in hopes of finding better form tomorrow, and I was also getting pretty jittery about the 2k, so I figured I'd better get it over with.

All in all, the execution went as planned:
Up to speed with just a couple of fast strokes, hold 1:41 with long strokes and consistent rating at 30 to about halfway, where I'd tighten the screw to about 1:40 until 1250m or so, then take it up another notch to 1:39 until a final rate-up sprint with about a minute to go depending on the need in order to make the sub-6:40 mark.

This type of slight neg splitting seems to work for me as I was feeling pretty comfortable and confident throughout; even so, I don't think I left more than a second or two on the table. I'm afraid I am already pretty close to my limit, but if I ever wanted to improve this PB, I'd try to rate up a little and work on my breathing rhythm to get the air flowing in. Lowering the foot rest as suggested by Jamesg in another thread definitely helped in that respect as an instant fix.

Nice 2k and well paced. Well done

I loves me a PB. Official "well done"!

Crushed my way too easy goal, beat my reach goal but just gave myself a little too much ground to make up to hit my stretch goal.
