About time I got to post in this thread again :) dedicating this session to my friend who decided to leave us last week👊

If there was ever a fitting tribute to your friend, this is it. That's a beautiful row: neg splits, controlled and a very strong last 1097m. You've been threatening a massive result for a few weeks, and there it is.

My money is on at least three more PBs before the end of 2020

Thanks a lot guys! Some days your body is just prepared to do the job! I think this is quite similar performance as a 16800 60minute, which is what I have been working for lately, so hope I can do that too soon.

@Stu: whoa, 3 more in December?? Would have to go for the three lowest hanging at least, which would mean 60 min, 10k and 6k.

@mjk: I usually start me longer sessions conservative and do big negative splits, but do have to say I kind of liked starting out just slightly above target pace.

@KeithT: thanks a lot, yeah it felt really good! If only one could have this feeling for all sessions!

Edit: Epic multi-quoting failed, will not try to fix it over phone though :lol:

Thanks a lot Max :) Yes, the conditions are currently very good in our region for erging. Enjoying fresh air and cool temperatures, so some new PBs in the months to come should be possible.

49 seconds off my 5k - 17.17.7

I'm very pleased with that - my target was 17:30.

Splits were as follows:

-3:29.2-------4000-------1:44.6-------28
-3:22.8-------5000-------1:41.4-------29

Might be a bit more in there (due to having a sprint in me at the end) but I'm happy to leave that PB for a while. It was unpleasant and sweaty, even though the gym was only 4c.

That is really fast, you are getting good :-) plenty of upside considering the short time you have been working on it.
You can obviously take a pretty big chunk off your 2k any time you like now.

Well done, but you're not going to do a HM on the same as a 15k PB are you? Have I misread that?
