Great work Ian. Super distance for 30 mins, plus as per other comment sounds like your 10k up for grabs soon as well. On 20k per week whatever else you are doing the cross training mix obviously working!

[philjoakley]

I think this is my eighth PB in four months. Didn't expect much today so maybe later on in the month I can get it closer to 17:15.

Heat and humidity definitely played a part today and I almost HDed three times from 3k onwards. HR hit 99% as an example of the struggle, so don't assume it was controlled.

Over to you Keith and Ian

Great row Stu. You'll definitely go faster in cooler conditions.

[philjoakley]

No pressure here, but I am taking bets! I have reserved the slot from 8400-8450

Delighted to oblige! You were pretty bang on with your prediction and it was just enough of a carrot to make me push on with the last rep

Super row with great pacing and consistency of effort. Well done Ian.

[Tandstad]

Yes, finally! Holy s***, that hurt, finally able to dig deep!

Although this is a "big" PB, it is not what I really wanted to hit. During March and April, I was doing really good. I jumped from 8249(set in 2013) to 8641 in one jump. Started to aim at hitting 8800, but could not do it. Realized after some time that allergy and asthma had hit me hard, and have been doing poorly after this.

Earlier today when Ian hit his huge PB, I realized that I should probably just aim at a 8700+ do start feeling like I was progressing. I also started to feel the heat from several people in here doing pretty awesome sessions.

All in all, I am happy now, but still lacking 57 meters on my season target.

Lesson leart, I will aim at somewhat smaller increments from here on, because they come more often

Wow, great effort mate!
There are almost 9 more months this season, I'm sure you'll get these extra 57m

Massive result and massive neg splits. Is this close to max HR? Very impressive mate, and 8800m is close enough for you to achieve it before the end of 2020

Absolutely fantastic result and look at that pacing!! Judging my heart rate you had to dig deep at the end which is beautiful work!! Next step 8800!!

[Dangerscouse]

Great row Stu. You'll definitely go faster in cooler conditions.

Thanks Phil. This heat is making things harder but I'm hoping that it will be helpful for when it does cool down

Congrats! Those ending HR and splits tell a story of the pain you must have been in!

[Tandstad]

Thank you everybody for the kind words, it is much due to this forum that I am so active on the ergFell like I am finally starting to get back on track!

@Nick: I won't lie, the last thing I did before starting was to check your signature for your all time PB, as I figured it might be in that ballpark area unfortunately, both your 60min and HM efforts are quite a few levels higher, so they are far out of reach still, perhaps I will not reach that level ever. I would estimate you would have been able to do somewhere around 8900-8950 for 30 mins when you did your HM.

@Stu: Highest I have recorded was 189, but felt like 184 was very close to the "roof" yesterday.

I actually think I hit a 6k PB along the way too, so that one is definitely the lowest hanging fruit as per now
