Wow, I was sure you'll get a great new PB, but sub 18 is an incredible improvement, well done and well deserved mate!
All the hard sessions really sharpened you up, and you perfectly translated it into an amazing effort, very happy for you!
As I told Stu yesterday: now your other PBs look a bit soft, you'll have to fix that

Another great PB, probably best so far. Well done.

170m onto my 30r20 pb this evneing, at 1bpm lower than the last pb too.

Pretty tough and not much of a sprint at the end. I do feel myself getting fitter every week though, so the next stop is a 8500m 30r20

Good job Big J, the R20 sessions should fit you very good with your massive power!

Many thx JA...still buzzing

Thx Martin....definitely feels like a huge milestone and I'm probably more pleased with this than sub 7. More TTs incoming

Boom!

Cheers...I'm chuffed for sure

Thx Tony, appreciated

Cheers Nick....I agree I think this is probably my biggest achievement so far

Huge improvement...no doubt just a stepping stone as you're so strong and bound to surpass this

Superb mate. Sub 18 is a massive milestone. Taking off 24 secs is also a massive effort and that last 1k is pure rage. Very happy for you.

The confluence of improving fitness, and your strength, is going to mean some very big PBs

Very very good Alex. The last 1k is a monster.

Very happy for you, especially as a few months ago, you weren't sure if you might not be able to do max efforts again.

Interesting too that you've done this on a recent diet of short and very sharp sessions.

Cheers mate.... earlier in the week I wasn't confident of even PBing but a JD pep talk said otherwise and Bob's your uncle . I actually nearly stopped twice in the last 1k....the last time with only 150m to go....the pain was unreal.

Cheers Max.
I think some of the recent sessions are about getting used to the pain required to go deeper. I still have base work to do but that is faster than my previous blue zone bimbles.

Recent diet has definitely been biscuits since Xmas too

Belief is a massive part of achieving. The last 1k has to be almost unbearable otherwise it's not a proper effort.

But when all is said and done, you still had to go and do it, and that is a massive performance
