New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[winniewinser]

As I recently improved my 5K PB, I felt obliged to give a go also to the 10K: 35s improvement. Not huge, but improvement.

P.S.
I'm doing a 5 weeks cycle (4 sessions/week) with some sort of 2K training plan that is a mix of what RowAlong suggests (here) and some stuff discussed on this forum (what Tony Cook said in this discussion). In a nutshell: 1 hard session (I like the 4x 1000m+5rest @2KRP+1s), 1 mid session (I like the 4x 2000m+7rest @2KRP+9s) and 2 steady sessions (usually 1 HM and 1 1h or maybe a 5K/10K TT), interleaved as mid / steady / hard / steady. I like I can take my previous week as reference and just try to improve on it progressively. The result of the hard session also tells me what i can expect for the 2K TT at the end of the cycle.

35s is excellent.....well done

New 2k PB 8:04 , previous best 8:10 7 days ago. Paced this one better than most I've done but still wish I could raise the spm by 2 without losing stroke power. Maybe it will come.

Still a good improvement in my books!

Good Job - Guess it's worth doing some sprint work; I have to really shorten my stroke to go above 32 as it stands and that feels a bit wrong.

[Kerry1960]

Yes, at the moment 29-30 is the most efficient way for me to row 2k. I've tried it at 32 and I'm slower so my stroke at 32 is either shorter or less efficient.

Well done Max. 35s is a huge improvement imo

Well done, and don't worry about your stroke rate. It's always more important to use a stroke rate that is most efficient to you

Or the previous PB was old. Or bad. Or both. Let's see the next round of PB attempts

Nice. 35s is a lot.

Yowza!

Been working towards sub 8 min 2k since I started rowing and finally did it today. It wasn"t ideal to do it today but I can't row the next 2 days because of a business trip. I can leave 2ks alone for a while now and do more slower mileage.

Great job!! This is an excellent milestone to hit. I think it's good to now quit testing so often and do some "standard" training.
