New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[Tandstad]

I've been doing a lot of 30 minute sessions lately (5 so far this week) with varying stroke rates and heart rate caps. It's a distance I really enjoy. I decided to push it a bit today and added 165m to my pb.

It was a fairly tough row, and coincidently I went through the 6k mark at exactly the same time as earlier this week (but with a flatter pace preceding it) but being able to speed up towards the end got me well under the 1:45/500m mark.

The HD demons were ever present, and probably worst in the 15-20 minute area. I tend to find that once I'm inside the final third, I'm good to finish. Weirdly, I also seem to naturally want to go faster, even though the heartrate is right up, the instinctive pace increases.

I sprinted the last 30 seconds, so I included the final screen shot too.

Ooh my, this is superfast!! almost identical pacing and result as my previous PB from March last year

Two PBs in a week!!
First proper go at a HM, previously I’ve HR capped for UT sessions. Hoped for sub 1:20 and went sub 1:19 so very pleased with that.

Another week on the @jdmad7 PB ....next to get smashed up was the 4'TT PB +31m. 3 weeks, 3 PBs

4:00.0 1,212m 1:39.0 34
1:00.0 306m 1:38.0 36
2:00.0 302m 1:39.3 31
3:00.0 298m 1:40.6 32
4:00.0 306m 1:38.0 37

Not sure what next week will bring yet

Impressive J, congratulations!

Very impressive 30 mate. That sprint for home is outrageous too

Your getting good at this, well done.

Great PB, well done!

More strong stuff. Well done.

Thanks guys It felt strong, and I don't think that there is a huge amount more in there at the moment. Perhaps 8700m, but that would be deeply horrible.

My goal this year is 9000m, which is a bit mad, but I need to have a goal. It's a massive step up in pace though, as I'd need to be doing a 1:40/500m split.

That's a big improvement, and 3 pbs in 3 weeks is very good going. Strong final split too

Blimey mate, that's a big chunk to improve on for a four minute PB. Keep grabbing them whilst you can
