A different kind of pb. My first million meter season!

1,001,146 to be exact.

Many thanks for the HM congrats guys. Curious if anyone has any hydration strategy advice ahead of doing longer distances like this to avoid cramping. Other difficulty I had was arse getting quite numb towards the end! I had a folded towel for padding to sit on. Do any others use anything else to ma...

New 15k PB! 1 hour 2 minutes 51 seconds! Going to have a first attempt at a half marathon I think today, fingers crossed I manage it! Well done, but you're not going to do a HM on the same as a 15k PB are you? Have I misread that? Ah, the 15k pb was a couple of days ago. In other news, first ever h...

Back to 10k from the 2k attempts last week. The good news is the 2ks gave me a better understanding of where the hard limits of my endurance are, which led to a 10k pb today!

41m 14.9s.

Congrats on the 10k PB.......sub 40 is not too far away now

Hah! Long way to go before that!

Good article, had a read and had another attempt tonight. Much more consistent but still felt like dying! 7.33.4 and the cliff was much smaller and only really arrived in the last 30 seconds this time. Will upload stats tomorrow on pc. Wow, an 8 second improvement just with a different approach. We...

As Henry says start off at 1:55 (your average pace) and then see how you go. You should be able to hold the average pace, and you won't have the added pressure of freaking out your 'inner chimp' and it telling you that you're going to die! I'm impressed that you kept going, and didn't HD, as that's...

In February 2018, I broke my left tibia plateau skiing (basically my knee). Two operations, 3 months of not walking, 2 months of physio and one conversation with my surgeon telling me not to run for exercise ever again later, I decided to start rowing again for the first time in probably 15+ years s...

Another 15k PB last night! 1 hour, 2 minutes, 56 seconds!

Another PB last night, managed 10k in 41m 38s and also went through my 400,000 lifetime metres (now sitting at 401,900) since starting rowing again in August 2018! Woo Hoo! Congratulations. David Many thanks @David! Have started up a friendly office rowing challenge (London to Paris in honour of ou...
