1' PB - 392m (+5m)

Wasn't sure if I should give it a go today, good I did

This effort felt amazing, followed Henry's advice to go by feel and was very surprised to see 1:14 average around 200m in. Faded at the end, but still 1:22 last pull,so propably a bit left

Super happy with the result

Nice now the key will be to keep your body in one piece. Won’t name possible goals but this is just the start. You faded, but still the second half was faster, so you also must have speeded up after halfway. First goal 400...

1:16 pace, and amazing, aren't what I was expecting to read

This is a very impressive PB, and is also very promising for more in the future if your fade wasn't too bad.

I'm with JA, I can't get my head around the raw power needed to get an average pace like that.

Thanks Stu! Yeah, amazing is propably not the right word

Luckily my base power is pretty good and the weight training works so well. We all have our strengths, I can't imagine to row for 100k

Thanks Henry! 400 always was only a dream, but now I really think it's possible when I can get my strength level a good bit more up and some TTs under the belt.
Maybe I misunderstand something, but the first half was 1:14.x, so the second must be around 1:18?
Definitely not too much fade, and I didn't feel that terrible afterwards, would estimate that I could have done at least 10 more seconds sub 1:30, so a good sign for the 500m too, maybe something like 1:16 pace as long as possible and hopefully not dying too early

Yes Martin!!!!! I wasn't on computer yesterday so just saw this and your 100M - truly amazing stuff. I mean seriously impressive power. My last 1' PB I never even hit 1:16 let alone have that be an average, mind-blowing. You will crush the 500M and go below sub 1:20 for sure. I may do the 500M today to see if I can PB but it won't come close to what you will do.

Thank you Keith! It's a great feeling to see when hard work pays off
Now I'm very confident to break 1:20, confidence is super high at the moment, so I should give it a go this week.
Good luck for your 500 TT, you're in great shape, the last 1k was incredibly strong and the 1' PB also not long ago, so you can be very confident to get a PB, would love to see you breaking my PB!

Me bad, I misread your result. You did die, like you should
Keep doing what you do. Only be carefull with the real fast stuff, not needed to go full 100% power. 90/95% is enough.
Ps re lowpull, look at watts, every second now is such a gap, to much to see improvement.
Also keep doing time trials, this will make them less mental taxing, and more a “just a workout” thing.
Later on, you could ad in, overdistance work, although those are not easy to plan. 1k pace should feel very easy right now

I couldn't let Martin take all the limelight....so strapped in and flapped around for 100m to PB by 0.2s . Don't worry, I know this is rubbish, even for a late forties LWT. I'm never going to be really quick on the short stuff.

0:17.5 100m 1:27.5 51
0:04.8 25m 1:35.9 50

Wonderful stuff there Martin. One more stroke would see you over 400, but how you pull an SPI of nearly 18 at that rate utterly baffles me.

I look forward to seeing your 500. Will you go as far as the 1k and 4'?

No likely to be challenging Martin at this sort of thing yet, but your stronger stroke is really paying dividends across the park. This looks pretty good to my eyes.

500M PB at 1:21.3

Nothing too exciting here. I felt I was in a good place to give this a go and inspired by Martin thought I would do it today. I felt good after warming up and decided to split the TT into 2 sections with a plan to be right on past PB pace (1:21.9) at 250M and then try to go faster. First 250 went as planned, I did a few more quick half strokes than usual (hence the higher SPM) and then settled in and was at 1:22 halfway, I then put as much force as I could on the stroke and dropped the pace to 1:19/1:20 and held until about 60M to go when I faded pretty hard. Considering the way I felt, the overall pacing being good and such I really don't think I can do better unless I work on speed/power. My low pulls are slower than they used to be but I am able to hold near max efforts longer now. I may try 2K soon as that's the big one and the one I really want to focus on more though I will also do a FM soon as I want to make that an annual thing.

A PB is never rubbish. And you had 3.7 more seconds of leg burn!
As a running coach once said to me when I moaned about not being as quick as others, ‘It’s just as much effort for you as the fast guys, it’s just that you have to do it for longer.’
