2k PB - 6:43.6 (-0.3'')

This was a really sh*tty effort, during WU my legs felt very tired, after about 700m I paced down (plan was >330W for the first 1500m) as my legs still felt so tired. At around 600m left I recognized that it's not as bad as I thought and paced up, around 200m to go I only wanted to finish a bit faster than old PB and it worked which was the only good thing about this effort

It looks like my training volume was on the egde in the last couple of weeks, time for an easy week and then a 6-week-sharpening for a proper 2k effort, target 6:35.

Great work Martin,
perhaps not what you were hoping for, but a PB is a PB, and that final 500m is something. Rate 38!

PB is a PB!! Well done Martin. Blistering finish. If you aren't dieing in last few strokes and pace dropping off will be more to come, but it's a very fine line to judge.

[MartinSH4321]

Thank you mates! More to come in about 2 months I hope

Wowski, you took a Sergej Bubka Martin, inching your way, 3 tenths at a time I can only echo the others, a PB is a PB, and especially doing a PB in the 2k is very strong! Big congrats! And how about that last 500, anyone chasing you? Rate 38 and 1:36, massive!

Thanks mate! Yeah, 100 attempts more like this and I got ya
The last 500m are are testament of my poor pacing and lack of self confidence But I'm confident to get a good effort after my sharpening weeks.

[hjs]

Congrats Martin. Although its not great

Rating to low, to much left for the last 500.

Thanks Henry!
Yeah, it was pretty bad, body and mind not prepared for a 2k at all, too much UT2 and TTs lately, hardly any short intervals. With 6 weeks of sharpening (PP-like) I hope to get around 6:35, and also improve 1k and 5k.
