Haven't posted much in the last few months, but today I hit a nice milestone

1'R20 @ sub 1:30 pace
Strength work helped a lot, very happy with this effort

Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M

1:00.0 336m 1:29.2 492 1992 20

POWERFUL! This is awesome. I saw this on Instagram earlier this afternoon and it got me craving some low rate work, inspired me to try a 30r20 today

Cheers mate!
Chris Scott is a completely other level, his sub3 1k was R18!

Serious strength and power, Martin.

Chris Scott is very occasionally on this forum, I think. Utterly brutal strength, but also the stamina to repeat it >50 times. Spi of 27, if my sums are correct.

Very nice. Beautiful negative split too... probably a bit left in the tank for next time?

Boom. Very strong Cam. 9k looks just round the corner (okay, nearly 2 splits, but still...). Stunning effort.

Wow! That’s 3rd place on the leaderboard this year, very impressive

wowee...nice work! what was your sr?

[btlifter]

Cheers everybody. It was a freebie for me - hadn't ever done a 30 min test before. 25 spm.

And yeah, if I go again, it'll be after a little bit of middle-distance training and the aim will be 9k<.

Very impressive 30R20, and still looking like there's a good bit left, great work!
Have you planned a 2k TT in the near future? Can't be too far away from 6' looking at your recent intervals

Holy smokes Cam, 8831 and more juice in the tank still, absolutely beastly!! I have always wondered, those 3 missing meters on the 60 min, do they not bother you? I would think on a real 60 min TT, you would be somewhere in the range 17300-17500.

Thank you Max!

Yeah, Chris has both strength and aerobic fitness, his 2k is somewhere around 6:10 if I remember right. But I only admire his efforts and try not to compare my times with his, otherwise I would lost all joy in sprint rowing
