New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[Tandstad]

Nice HM PB- that’s epic.

I managed to crush my 10k PB by 24.3” today. New PB is:

38.04.7 at 1.54.2 and r27.

To be honest I’ve been working so hard I was a little disappointed not to crack 38’ or even threaten it (I only got within 5 seconds by killing myself in the last 250). Clearly need more cardio to beat 38’ as I had nothing left in the tank. Still, a PB is a PB!

Big congratulations RWAGR, that is an excellent time. Small things(diet, sleep, energy level, pacing etc.) could have cost you the 5 seconds, so you will have it for sure next time!

Haha, yeah sorry, the importance of an adjective. I meant to type 'soon' as well. That would have notably changed the message to what I intended.

We should not slow him down

That's definitely all I have in there at the moment. I've switched my training so that I'm rowing every other day, with weights in between. Cut out some of the heavier pulling work to focus the weights on the rowing side of things. Give me a few months and time to build up my fitness. I'd like to be at 1:20/500, 2:55/1000 and 6:20/2000 by early spring I guess.

Absolute believe this is it right now. But given your training status you will see “newby” gains. And looking at recent 2k 6.47 and this 1k, your aerobic fitness is not great yet. So its to be expected to react well on training. Calling numbers at this point is difficult, I just look at your build age and training status.

Super result Martin! ..apart from forgetting to switch on the fan
That last 1k was epic!

My HM PB is the one I am most scared of!

Congratulations - massive chunk to take off a 10k.
Don't know how much you are doing now, but maybe more UT2 type volume required to take the next step?
Still, its a great time and a PB so enjoy!

Thanks lads!

Well done Rob! Missing a milestone by only a few seconds is always a bit disappointing, but that's a massive improvement and you'll hit sub38 next time

HM PB - 1:20:56.8 (-61'')

First PB in my new training room, goal was sub 1:21 and it went almost perfectly as planned. Started at 15°C and 35% humidity, but forgot to start the fan and ended at 18°C and 80% humidity which cost me some seconds for sure.
Very happy with the result, and good to know there's still a bit more possible.

Very good Martin, that's a very impressive chunk to knock off. That last 1097m shows you're faster than this too.

35% humidity?? It's never been less than 60% for me, and all too often ends up at 80+.

Super result Martin! ..apart from forgetting to switch on the fan
That last 1k was epic!

My HM PB is the one I am most scared of!

Big congrats Martin, more than 1 minute down is huge! You'll be sub 1:20 this season if you continue putting the kilometres in

Well executed Martin.... nicely done

Thanks fellas!

Nice work. 24s is >1 split faster over 10k. So - your disappointment notwithstanding - this is a great result.

Thanks Max! Yeah it was a bit boring at the end, so I had to pace up
At least I'm not as lazy as Stu or Jo Andre who finish their HMs in 1:17 / 1:18

Martin, well done, good sprinttraining no doubt your 100m will gain from this

500TT PB by 3s for the Lightweight Ranking Challenge. TBH I really didn't think this was going to happen so really happy to get it done. Surprised myself with this one.

1:31.9 500m 1:31.9 39
0:18.7 100m 1:33.5 42
0:18.3 200m 1:31.4 39

0:18.3 400m 1:31.4 39
0:18.2 500m 1:30.9 43

10' warmup
2k cooldown (but didn't really need it as our erg room was 14deg )

That's a ton for 500M...way to go!
