Double PB weekend :)

Sat: New 5k run PB at Parkrun (23:32)
Sun: New 5k row RB at FoolsFestSprints virtual race (19:11)

Doing them back to back prob suggests I should have room for more in both too.

Faded after the half but I hit my target of sub 7.
Very painful :mrgreen: .
You've clearly got a very good engine, but it's still not easy to convert that into a sub 7 row.
With 2 months of rowing, I think it will be piece of cake for him, no ? I mean, he has a 6:48 2K SkiErg PB :shock:
My 2k time on skierg is not trained, I mean I’m trained but not for 2k.

I know that 2k on erg is easier but probably I will not row on water in any near future because I don’t have any near school :( .
But I like the rowerg to cross train for xc skiing, I’m gaining good power (also train legs).

New PB on the skierg - 5k in 22:58.

Not a brilliant time on the ranking board, but progress.

Used a higher rating, which seemed to help eliminate excessive leaning.

Well done. Brilliant is subjective, and also, hopefully, a moving target that will improved on again and again. Don't disparage what you've done by comparing yourself to others, as your best is always strong enough.

PB is PB and always worth celebrating so congrats.

Skierg can be a beast of a machine and very different workout to the rowerg imo.

Another PB today: 5K in 21:57.7.

28 seconds off the last one, I believe.

Keeping the stroke rate higher (38 per minute - not as high as some advise, but just can't move that quickly) and feeling the benefit of interval training.

Great improvement! 38 SPM is actually really high for a 5K.
