60' TT PB +310m

I had planned a HM but the 60' seemed more sensible... definitely the right choice for today. Many opportunities to HD as doubts bounced around my head but I kept it going and even managed a little sprint finish . Netflix Ozark for company.

Nice.

310m doesn't sound like much to anyone not in the know, but it's a big difference in splits.
Over 15k is a big milestone.

Interesting you watch stuff for TTs. I usually lose the use of my eyes.

Get in Alex!! I totally agree with Max 310m is a massive increase. Well done bud

I'm going to try Netflix for my 100k on Monday. I reckon most of the Last Dance (Michael Jordan documentary) will keep me motivated and distracted with the added benefit of a Proustian Rush whilst I recall my basketball memories. I've really enjoyed it so far.

60' PB - 15.779m (+118m)

This was a very hard effort for me, plan was to stay >235W for the first 45' and then see how I feel, but I didn't feel 100% fit and slowed down to 230W. At the end I wanted to reach 15.800m but did a false calculation, started the final sprint too late.
Nevertheless I'm happy to have struggled through and get a new PB, on a very good day I think I can reach for 15.900, the magic 16k not that far away anymore

Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M
1:00:00.0 15,779m 1:54.0 236 1111 24

Keep getting better on longer rows - I see the 16k in the future.

Thanks Keith, 16k is one of the big goals this year!

Wow Alex, that's a massive improvement, well done!

did first 2k test since 2017....

was aiming for 7.12, 2 secs slower than previous pb.

7:08.1 2,000m 1:47.0 286 1282 30
1:46.3 500m 1:46.3 291 1302 30
1:47.8 1,000m 1:47.8 279 1261 30
1:48.0 1,500m 1:48.0 278 1256 29
1:46.0 2,000m 1:46.0 294 1311 29

Boom! dug very deep from 500m to get into the 7:0Xs

given how little I'm erging I'm really pleased.

Thx Max, much appreciated

Like you say it doesn't sound like much but boy that seems like a long way. Ego says I should be able to do sooo much more but I'm not really capable on current form.

I don't watch the screen non stop but tend to follow it through the audio mainly.

Cheers Stu....good luck with the 100k...rather you than me!

Netflix is one of my best things to come out of lockdown...had never really watch it before but have now binged loads of stuff

Wow Alex, that's a massive improvement, well done!

Cheers Martin

Well done! If you haven't specifically trained for a 2k this is a promising sign that sub 7 could be fairly close.

Congratulations Alex, massive improvement!! 310 meters is more than 1 minute faster, great success

Btw, here is the Olli Zeidler interview I was talking about in the other thread:

Very good work. That's a very strong last 500m (with legs screaming "stop"?).

thank you, and winnie and stu (i can't wait to get on the 7.07 to lime st again!)

I'm focusing on bikerg/zwift cos it super cool but doing 1xSS and 1x either endurance or speed per week. my technique is soooo bad

[JMac]

Did my first 2K test in 18 months yesterday and was pleased to cut 9 seconds of my PB.

I think this is close to the limit for me right now considering my relatively limited volume (around 20k a week). Gives me confidence for improving my 1k and 500m times

[Dino]

This thread is seriously busy at the moment!!

@JMac seriously fast time and breaking 6:30 well done.

@optimuswolf great time 7:0x definitely something to be proud of. Even at my lowly pace know how hard it is to get that 500m pace down even a bit over the 4 segments.

@winniewinser definitely NOT from the Sergei Bubka school of PB breaking! Huge increase on the hour. Well done.

@Martin's not forgetting our serial PBer... great hour too!

That blistering fast JMac, great job! And on 20k a week too!
