New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

Sub 7 2k achieved on Saturday. I'm so happy. This was monumental for me. I've been trying for 4 years with 3 bouts of covid getting in the way.

Scraped under at 6:59.4. It was very painful. I pretty much fell off the machine at the end and couldn't move for 5 minutes, at least I I know that this was my best! HR reached 192 which is quite high for a 47 year old heart!!

Big shout out to Sam Blythe's online coaching plan, this got me over the line.

Andy

Nice one, well done.

Got a new pb for 2k today, managed to get a hair under 7:40 which was my target. My first 2k in oct 22 was 7:56 so pretty pleased with the improvement. Started at 1:56 then pushed it by a bit as i was feeling good even at 1k, last 500m felt like forever and I was dying.
Next target 7:30!

Thanks all! Pretty stoked I managed to hit my target time and really cool to set off on a 10day vacation having hit this target. I've been procrastinating taking a 2k and today it was done on a whim. Was alone with my 5year old and knew that an hour long ss row wasn't going to work. So i decided to just hit a 2k whilst she was watching a cartoon. She was mad at the noise from the rower and I barely had the breath to tell her it's ok to turn up the volume. Hopefully will be back fresh, wrap up my first season and be ready for the next one!

Nice, sub8 was your goal when I remember right?

Correct!
Ultimate goal is a sub7 on the rower as a lwt. Getting back to lwt is next. I did a 7:10.6 in a race in 2020.

Not far away from LWT, but not possible (and desired) for me to get there
Good luck with your next goal
