 Really pleased with this. Great talk from JD prior about not panicking when the splits increase. My training has proven that i can dig deep and finish strong so today was about trusting in that

Having said that, after a good start things started to feel impossibly hard pretty quickly. Desperately wanted to HD with 1200 to go but the emotion of failing was a strong motivator to keep going. And the plan was to finish regardless and just use this a training session if it all went south.

I was in a good rhythm throughout and with 400 to go my average was 1.35.3. so the next 400 was all about going hard to bring the average down. That in itself was quite motivating.

Glad to get this done. More relief than anything. The feeling of an HD is far stronger than the feeling of accomplishment i find so the next focus will be sub 6.19. If i can just hold the middle part a little stronger then that shouldnt be too far away.

Will continue to focus on 2km training whilst we're in one of the hottest summer months. The weather doesnt allow me to focus on anything longer, so that will need to wait.

What a great result, and what a great post!
Reading this will help many ergers here. We all could see how much effort you put into your training, and how many hard/horrible sessions you did, no doubt you're a fighter who can struggle through these hard sessions very well, so reading how much you had to fight to finish this 2k is very inspiring! Well done :)

Haven't done much work at this pace lately, and didn't feel really good today, so I'm pretty pleased with this effort. Goal was 36:40, and on a better day I'm sure I can go sub 36:30. 30' coming soon :)

Nice PB Martin, big push in the final kilometer so like you said sub 36:30 isn't out of the realms of possibilities.

 10k PB - 36:39 (-12'')
Haven't done much work at this pace lately, and didn't feel really good today, so I'm pretty pleased with this effort. Goal was 36:40, and on a better day I'm sure I can go sub 36:30. 30' coming soon :)

Thank you all for the encouraging words! :D
A PB is always nice, and knowing there's a bit more in the tank for next time is great for confidence B)

@ Henry: Yeah, sub 1:50 definitely sounds better than 36:39 :lol:
@ Jo Andre: :D I love your pictures of Norway's nature (and the PBs too of course)!
