New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[Tony Cook]

I think this is a PB by 2m but I was losing power near the end and I'm feeling slightly jaded atm so I was glad to get it done as it's the Team Oarsome monthly challenge so I've only got today and tomorrow to do it. As I have only ever done five (I think) of these sessions it'll hopefully keep improving

I'm blowing my nose quite a lot atm so I'm wondering if I'm suffering slightly from an allergy.

Well done! That 4m piece seems very tough. In a way just over half a 2k makes it slightly attractive but when you think of it as 4 x 1m seems best avoided!

My coach Eddie Fletcher has got me into the kind of shape where I'm setting all time PB's at the age of 62 and faster as an ''old'' Lwt than I ever was as a ''young'' Hwt so big thanks and hats off to him!

Onwards now to the Full Marathon in 2 weeks.

Sorry I've not been commenting to others on the training thread but to be totally honest with you I just can't keep up with it and as I'm so used to other social media platforms I find the posts just too long and difficult to digest...which is my fault so I'm just posting this for the few people I stay in touch with on here and not expecting any comments from those who post and support each other regularly as I appreciate I'm not really adding any ''value'' to the forum and only come on here when I've got something to ''crow'' about ....but here it is for a few ol' chums...happy rowing all.

Congrats mate.

Nice going Rod, great session.

Put a HM on the PM myself today with target of sub 1.20, got 12k in and was overheating so canned it. Was on 1.53.7 r24 avg so would not have been a problem.

Congrats on the PB mate!
I expect this was pretty tough as you had no time to adapt to the faster stuff so far, a good bit more in you after some short interval sessions
An allergy can cost you some %, I had the same problem in march.

Thanks mate, it felt quite good for 75% of it and the last minute it quickly got tough.

Well done! That 4m piece seems very tough. In a way just over half a 2k makes it slightly attractive but when you think of it as 4 x 1m seems best avoided!

Thanks Tony. The shorter distances aren't really my forte so it wasn't a pleasant final minute

As I have only ever done five (I think) of these sessions it'll hopefully keep improving

I'm blowing my nose quite a lot atm so I'm wondering if I'm suffering slightly from an allergy.

Congrats Stu...top performance under the circumstances

2m is a long way on the short stuff, but you'd be good for well into the 1230's on a good day. Well done Stu.

Nice one Stu,

Never done this TT, but I reckon it must be pretty tough, especially after 1k.

Stu it's amazing how the erg offers benefits for many different physiologies. I guess I have done a fifty of them and I am pretty sure only 4 HMs and one 30k ever!!
