New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

It’s been a while but pleased to say a new 30r20 PB arrived today.
Previous effort was a 1.50.9 average. I just set out to beat that today - and I’d have been happy with a 1.50.8 to be honest

Really good PB and improvement on your previous.

I'm also glad to note that I beat you by 4m! I thought you'd beaten me on this one too until I checked. I reckon you're capable of quite a bit more with a finish like that

But seriously, great job on the 30R20 Ian, really strong!!

[Dangerscouse]

Hahahaha, it's been a notable year for PBs for quite a few of us, and it's been great to keep pushing people harder than they otherwise would have.

Nice work! I have never tried to PB this workout but since I don't do too much higher SPM for a regular PB I might do decent on this one. Will have to give it a try.

Super impressive; I'd say it gives me something to strive for, but it's so far off I'll just say it's inspiring and leave it at that!

Thanks all for the kind words ( i dont know how to quote all..) - this forum is great for the motivation!

And Stu - i deliberately didnt check your score before jumping on as i didnt want to set myself up to fail...again. So i was just aiming for 1.50.8 and once i knew that was in the bag it was easier to keep pushing. Now, had i known i was only 4 meter off i would have buried myself to find those extra meters!

Hahahaha, the thing is, if you had started a bit more optimistically you'd have easily found the extra you needed, plus quite a chunk more.

[boomingaway]

Thanks for all the kind words after my 6k PB!

I'm having trouble uploading today's workout to the log (posted on ergdata forum), so a picture will do.

I set out thinking 1:41/1:42 would be realistic and breaking 1:40 would be like 5%. My legs felt pretty heavy even after a rest day, so I settled on 1:41. I was pulling like crazy at the end, but just didn't have the power to keep it up. This hurt my legs and arms, but not so much my lungs. I gave it everything I had in the last 200m to keep the average below 1:42. An allout 2k feels 10 times worse than this for whatever reason. Drag factor was 115.

Nice work. I think that a slight F&D is okay for the 1k, and you've hung on pretty nicely.
Especially good result given that you're an (almost?) lightweight.

Great work Ian. Very impressive, as usual.

Nice job and while a bit of a fly and die not too bad. The fact that you were going with all you had at the end just to maintain your average split is a good sign that you got a true 100% effort. I actually feel as bad after a 1K as I do a 2K but I may be unique in that regard. The drag factor of 115....DF is a something you have to find what works best for you but for me I tend to raise my DF for the 1K TT a bit. I row everything at 130 typically but will do a 1K test at 140-150. May try some shorter intervals with different DF to see if something else is better. Next goal for you should be sub 3:20.
