Looking back I've done 10K strapless @ 17spm in 1:55.7 pace but that was on the lowest drag I could get (93). Earlier this month I held 1:52.1 for 50min strapless @ 20spm so my PB is probably in there somewhere. Cheers

Great HM Toddy. I knew you could go faster than the last PB, as you were talking to me and Roy for the first 12K of it and only got down to it in the last 9K. Sir Pirate

I'm still doing 2:24 pace for just over 2 hours each morning, at 61 df and 27-28 spm. This is fine, though I'm starting to get a bit antsy for pace work.

Thanx also for support from Paul Smith, Wullie & Xav Toddy

Today I was planning to do a 4 x 2K, coincidentally all under 7:00 for the first time also. I've been worrying about it all day long. 6:59.1 / 1:44.8 / 27spm / HR 170 6:58.9 / 1:44.7 / 27spm / HR 172 6:59.2 / 1:44.8 / 27spm / HR 173 6:52.1 / 1:43.0 / 28spm / HR 174 About 5 min rest in between, including 3 min on the treadmill. Does the last one mean I can varsity crew with you? Almost the same workout, and we're the same weight, and we have the same 2K PB ... but I'm twice your age! Seriously, though, I hope this means we're on track for a 6:32 2K soon. Keep up the good work.

Lee how much did you pb by? Roy.. hope you feel better soon. Htt 18k for today I set out AM ..to do a easy 60min paddle lasted 20 mins @1.56 bloody knee PM 5k 1.47.8 still felt it in knee but was surprised as i did'nt set out for a sub 18. total ks 13k Sonic  </td></tr></table> Sonic, Pb'd by 305m, previous was 15724m at around 1:54 so well chuffed with 1:52, will chip away at that though as I do not think 1:51 and then 1:50 is too far away....once I've got that I'll have a go at reducing my HM which currently sits @1:57:7. Cheers for the support people!

can't train so very jealous..................... Todd way to go for your hm...sub 75 soon me thinks.... your text did cheer me up.... am finding this crutches a workout tho..... my right leg is getting good at hopping and my bottom has carpet burns from zooming up n down stairs as we only have a toilet and bathroom upstairs..................

[old] Rocket Roy · Post by **[old] Rocket Roy** » December 30th, 2004, 6:54 am

Carpet Burns, thought you'd be used to that Carole Good to hear your spirits are keeping up. I went to the doc's this morning but managed to get a 40 min stepper session in at 250 watts and a 5k before seeing him. I can now hear properly for the first time in ages, (I had my ears syringed ) Well done Toddy great effort. Lee I think you may just beat your 1/2M time when you try Carole, get a roller skate and tie your broken leg to it when the pain dies down a bit obviously.

Okay, so 4x2k is hardly a sprint, but the closer I get to 2k pace the worse I usually get. 8x500m is out of the question, for example. I'd be lucky to get them all <1:42. I think that a 2k+6 or 2k+7 average for this set is about right, so at least a 6:32.0 is on the cards. My PB is actually 6:29.7, but that was set as a heavyweight, so I'm discounting it for the time being. As I mentioned above though, I've never done a session quite as fast as this so either a) I'm a skinny lightweight now and so can go faster when it's longer or it really is a <6:30 next time! My next 2k is at WIRC, so all sorts of annoying things like the 6 hour flight, 8 hour time difference, and different language will affect my time on the day. Joy. Xav

am 10k for HTT @2.40.3 am 10k @ 1.50.9 ..36.58.7....pleased as i started off quite slow first 2k 7.22.8 and got all the way to 7.5k before my knee started to play up, eased down and did that 500m @1.57.2 finished the last 2k in 7.11.5. Fingers and everything crossed that the knee is getting better. Sonic

Following on from yesterdays 10 x 1500 with 1 min recovery at 10k pace. Todays session: 2k warm up 10 x 1k with 1 min recovery - avg 1.42.2 - 32 spm (5k pace) 2k warm down I always find this the harder of the two sessions
