New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

30' TT - 8.107m, +48m

After 5k at Tuesday at 1:51.7 pace I was very confident to get a new PB, goal was >8.100m, and my plan was >250W for the first 25' and then pace up. At this 5' to go I had a short wobble as I thought I won't get the pace to hit 8100, but I found a pace I could hold pretty good and the last 2' I gave almost all I had.
I'm very happy with this effort, on a perfect day I think I can go for 8.150.

Great work Martin. This thread has been a bit quiet without you!

Thanks Max!
Yeah, I think I did too much TTs lately and needed to focus on my normal training, and also messed up my last two TT (5k + 1k)
Good you had 2 great PBs lately, both 60' and HM were big improvements

That's what we need to feed off.....some Martin PB's

Nicely paced (always impressed by your graphs in the log....sooooo consistent) and a flying finish!

Thank you very much mates, I hope to post some new 1k 2k and 5k PBs soon

@ Alex: I need to stick to a planned pace, go by feel doesn't work for me, so this consistency is on purpose, but not always the fastest way to finish a TT

After yesterdays rubbish session I decided to spend a minute in the pain cave for January's FMMC. 5 mins warmup, smashed out 1min for a +5m PB. DF was my usual 120. I was on my work erg and forgot my cables so it's not verified but I have the screen shot.

1:00.0, 332m, 1:30.3@42

Previous was 1:31.7@41

Good to get some positive feeling back. Oh and I also tipped 75Kg's on the scales so I guess I can call myself a lightweight?

Nice job. Not one I've ever tested, but I wouldn't be in the same shot. 42 spm!

Well done on getting to LWT . This means you will have to retest all your PBs!

Well done Alex, that's a solid improvement! Have you tried a higher DF? For most people it's easier to pace up with a higher DF.
Agree with Max, a lot of new PBs as a LWT are coming

I did contemplate a higher DF but my back has been twitchy so decided to play it a little safer today. Will maybe have another go at say 140 (current 120)

Yeah Martin - still getting PBs and more to come for sure! This was paced well and you finished strong which is the way to go but I know lately I have had a bad habit of going faster early and getting a "cushion" on my rows despite knowing all my PBs on longer rows I stayed more consistent and finished strong.

Nice increase in power. I have only done the 1 minute TT a few times but its a good one and you get that rush of lactic acid and just try to hold on - it's only a minute right?!

Thx Keith.

Good job it is only a minute as my HR was flat lining at 180

That's a really good PB, especially for a LWT and at df120. As Martin suggests, whack it up and you should get some more metres....and pain
