New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[KeithT]

Thanks all; need to work on being able to push harder for longer - last few strokes were 1:55@30 - so it's in there, just not for long

Great PB! When you do a longer row like a 6K it's hard to gauge how much you have in the tank. Now though you know you had some and can start with and maintain a lower pace next time.

[Dangerscouse]

Just smashed my 6k time with my first proper attempt at it in 4 months (previous pb was all over the shop pace and rate wise - 2:27.1@19 (but 17-21 range))

It was also made even sweeter as I had a HD attempt at it yesterday after 3k.

That's a massive improvement, and definitely a sweetener that you HDed the day before.

erg data screwed up the splits - gave me a minor Heart attack when it told me it hadn't saved the row....

But just completed my first HM and by default it's a new PB.... I was aiming for sub 1:45:00 and irritated that I didn't make it by 0.9s

Another pb - this one at 5k; early benchmark from July was better than some of my others, but I knew that it was well below my current ability.

That said managed to better my expectation as I managed to beat my predicted time this run by 8s - based on my 10k paul's law. Was battling stitch that set in during the 3k split.

Mad minute on the Skierg ....PB+2m....even saw a 1:30 pull which I don't think I have before. Just a bit of fun before weights.

1:00.0 320m 1:33.7 66
0:15.0 79m 1:34.9 68
0:30.0 82m 1:31.4 64
0:45.0 81m 1:32.5 68
1:00.0 78m 1:36.1 64

Hopeful of breaking 1:40 for 500m soon

Congrats on the continued progress....great to see

Good going Alex! Sub 1:40 500m should already be in reach with this 1' score I think

boom - great speed, well done! To my untrained eye, it looks like 1.40 should be there easy? Even a 1.45 average for the last 180 would get you there (unless I'm being really dense?)

congratulations! Looks like a really well paced row.

Cheers Nick .... possibly but I was dying at the end. Don't think I'd start that fast for a 500

[p_b82]

congratulations! Looks like a really well paced row.

Thanks - It's as much believing/proving that I can still generate the power with my HR through the roof (and not HD) as it is about the effort. Body and legs feel fine today - so it's still the CV system that's my limiting factor.

Nicely done, and I imagine you had a lot of HD thoughts with 2k to go?

This is strong mate. When I used to use the skierg in a circuits gym class, just before lockdown, I'd struggle to maintain low 1:30s, so I know what this feels like.
