I knew after working through the BPP I had improved a fair bit.

On Saturday I went after the 10k and knocked 35 seconds my previous best from 2020

Nicely done, and the hour does need quite a lot of attention to get better at it. 14k is a good benchmark to aim for, as it's not far away at all if this felt really good throughout. You've got to tickle the edges of a HD at least once for a proper go at it 😁

Fantastic 10k Ireland. Congrats.
Thank you very much for your congratulations, its nice to be able to share the news with people that understand the level of effort required to pull off a PB. @Dangerscouse r23 or around that seems to be my most efficient zone now. All my previous PB's were done at much higher rate but that was before I started to focus on power and stroke technique.

Well done Autoland on your own PB and to anyone else that has had a PB recently
