New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[Sakly]

Although I have recovered well from Covid, I felt really shabby today, as well as the last days. My shoulder sucks, I sleep bad as pain kicks in while sleeping and I wake up, my body feels weak.
I needed something really hard today to overcome this feeling and get back on track, so I decided to give the 60min PB a go today after 10min of lower power warmup row.

I knew I needed slightly above 16k to reach my season goal of 95th %ile, but I targeted 16300 - 1:50.4 pace.
Started a bit faster to gain some buffer, but after 30min I knew that 1:50.4 will not work and slowed down to not HD.
Last 10mins I tried to add some power again which worked more or less well, but overall it was near the edge for today. Nevertheless, added nearly 700m to old PB!
Now I feel good and hope to recover well for a first go on CTC next week

That's a big one based on your first paragraph. Congrats Sascha.

I never did get near 16k....and probably never will

Thx Alex. Even I did not reach my target, I am satisfied with the result. Not HD'd and much above the minimum goal required distance
Reached position 21/683 in rankings, what turnes out to be 97th %ile.
Next season I will work on further improvement.

And you should never say never...put in the work and get the results

Another good PB but probably a bit more in there, well done.

Thx guys.
Now, after a hot bath I feel a bit better and more relaxed
But I bet this will give me some sore muscles tomorrow...

Nick, I think the same. On a good day I should be able to get some more meters.

Very impressive result. And that with a bad shoulder…

[Sakly]

Very impressive result. And that with a bad shoulder…

Thank you!
The shoulder started hurting when restarted after covid. No idea what the problem is, but doing some drills help, so the shoulder was not a big issue yesterday. It gets a bigger problem on lower load rows like steady states
Hope to sort it out the next days/weeks and come back to full training schedule.

The good - this is a great result and I am happy for you. Reaching 16K is a big milestone and then you went well beyond that.

The bad - my 60 min PB is really old and now you beat it, so it has me thinking I need to retest it.

[Sakly]

Thank you!
Really glad I slowed down, otherwise I am sure I would have HD'd...

Haha, true
Was not aware of that, but that's only because you didn't go for the CTC again last month
Thank you, too
