After thursdays 10k pb I had the feeling I had to retest my 2k. Well, yes! Current pb was 8:43.3 with a 2:10.8 pace.

Shaved of nearly 10sec:

Time Meters Pace Watts Cal/Hr S/M
8:33.9 2,000m 2:08.4 165 868 26 183
2:10.2 500m 2:10.2 159 845 27 178
2:10.7 1,000m 2:10.7 157 839 26 181
2:07.9 1,500m 2:07.9 167 875 26 185
2:05.1 2,000m 2:05.1 179 915 28 188

I'm really :wink: proud that my consistent training is paying off.
I think I will try the 5k PP after my holiday in july as recommended here.
Woo hoo and congratulations on another nice PB!

2K time. As always, went in not expecting too much, but my recent 500m PB (5 days ago, 1:35.3 down from 1:36.6) was encouraging.

Went pretty well, gain aligned to the 500m: 7:18.6 from 7:24.2.

Code: Select all

Time 	Meters 	Pace 	Watts 	Cal/Hr 	S/M 	HR
7:18.6 	2,000m 	1:49.6 	265 	1213 	29 	178
1:48.7 	500m 	1:48.7 	273 	1237 	30 	170
1:48.3 	1,000m 	1:48.3 	276 	1248 	30 	179
1:50.0 	1,500m 	1:50.0 	263 	1205 	30 	181
1:51.6 	2,000m 	1:51.6 	252 	1166 	29 	184
So the post-TT consolation pizza became a post-PB celebration one :)

Great new 2k PB Max. Big improvement. I think you"ve spoken of difficulties with 2k TTs in the past so this must be especially satisfying. Well done.

Away for work this week and the Hilton I’m in has a lovely new concept 2 that was winking at me. Was going to have a go at pb for 5k. But then decided to scratch the 10k itch that been bugging me lately. Glad I did as I took 30 of seconds off it. 37:13. Really happy with that as I put everything into the machine and it was definitely best effort.

Yeah, still not my favourite distance, to put it mildly.

Glad I did it early in the season, so now I can focus on other stuff like any other distance and maybe give the SkiErg some love with a few time trials.
