I didn't have the stroke count visible during the piece, so did my best to stay right on 20spm; ended with 605 strokes total. I've had the sub-1:45 average for this test on my to-do list for some time, so it felt great to get it done!

Pb today of 342 meters in the 1 min distance. previous was 339 set 3 yrs ago. This was done controlled and not flat out. I did 350 in 1.01.6. Flat out I reckon I could have done more. The reason for controlled row was that this is part of a build up for a 500m distance training.

Thanks Dutch, I had used 160 for a few previous one minute efforts but lowered it to 155 for this one. For anything over a short one off sprint (100m, 1 min, 500m) I would use 105.

As a 67 year old Lwt I find lowerDF is better for me.

Thanks Stu, I'm playing a lot of football (Goalkeeper) and back running again after a 4 year injury layoff from it so not clocking up too many metres on the C2 at the moment so working up from the short stuff back to the mid and long over the next few months...I hope.
I've done a 16.7 100m too which amazed me as that's my fastest for a few years!

My team has a ''Decathlon'' competition graded by gender/age and weight so I have to get some scores in over the season....there's no escape! :lol:

Congrats, Alex & Anthony, on your recent 5k achievements. Having had some mental battles with the 5k myself this past spring, I can definitely relate to the challenge!

After last week's HD during a 30r20 attempt, I was feeling especially spry today so decided to give it another go:
