Wow, nice time for 500!fragandclear wrote: ↑April 19th, 2022, 6:16 amFirst real attempt at a 500m time (so technically a PR I guess) - 1:30.00.
Did this after a "sprint" session so I had already more than warmed up. This would have been my sixth 500m within half an hour.
Also a couple of notes for my own reference:
- Erg needs to be properly situated. Wobbling about like crazy.
- Started sliding of the seat at the halfway mark. Very distracting
- Next 500m attempt should have a specific test warmup as opposed to the usual workout immediately beforehand. Duh.

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
Finishing out my first full season, just topped 2 Million meters for the season today! I remember, not too far back, achieving 1 million meters lifetime seemed impossible, so this is both a goal achieved and a bit of a pleasant surprise.

Congratulations!
That's a fair bit of meters - and to go from 2 Mm/y from thinking 1 Mm/lifetime is quite a jump.
Good luck with keeping up the good exercising.

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
Very slight improvement on my 30 minutes today - 7776m.
Comfortably top quartile by age, weight and gender so pretty happy with that for my first season.
Aim for next season is 8K.
