New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!

[G-dub]

1K PB by 2 seconds! Dang it would have been nice to go .2" faster to have a 7 on the end!

Nice going Glenn. 2 secs is a great improvement over 1k

Not sure if I should post it here or attempt to revive the sprint thread...oh well...

Decided to give the one minute sprint a ride last night and managed 365 meters at r42. It was my second attempt besting my previous 357 from a couple of weeks ago. Conditioning was definitely a factor...was pacing high 380's low 390's in the first 20 seconds and struggled to hang on in the last 20 seconds.

Warmed up by doing a fairly easy 10 x 1:00 r26 on 1:00 rest averaging 288m each.

r42?!?! I struggle to get any higher than r33

Great effort.

I can't speak for T_M, but when I do shorter distance TTs I don't use a full stroke. For 500m I row at around 3/4 slide and for 100m I probably row around half slide. This allows me to up my rate (36 for 500m and 48 for 100m) and power output a lot. Of course, over longer distances this isn't maintainable (even over 500m I start to lag after about the 1 minute mark).

Yeah that makes sense. I always use a full stroke which is something I need to change for the shorter distances.

Nice, think a better wu would have helped you, this was to much.
And nomatter how fit, we will always struggle in the last 15 seconds, if not you go to slow

Depends on what you're training for. I try not to shorten my stroke during an interval session like 8x500m since I'm doing that to train for 2000m where I'd row full strokes. Even for 1000m I probably wouldn't shorten my stroke much, if at all. It's noticeably how much more fatiguing it is even in something like a 500m test.

Sound. I think it will be a bit of trail and error for me in the new year to have a go at my seven years old 2k PB.

I think it's probably my leg drive that needs more work as I always had issues with a displaced pelvis(sounds a lot worse than it is) from leg training that I have recently realised (circa 12 months) was due to a very tight right hip flexor and now that I have loosened that up I don't need the trip to the chiro every 3 months anymore so I can use my legs more without fear of consequences...well, without as much fear anyway

Great strenghtbase to work from! Low pull 1,05?

Yes, last 3 strokes were around 1:07/1:08 so possibly another couple of tenths to gain at my current level.

I'm sorry, 1:07 to 1:08? Really? Crap. I have never, ever, seen anything less that 1:27. I guess I'll get on those deadlifts.

Really nice job.

Thanks!

I managed to knock off 10 mins off my 75km PB. It's now 5:29:15 and was 5:39:42.

I guess I have set an 85km PB too, which was 6:23:15 (not got.to 85km before) but it should have been a 100km distance so it's a bit of a frustration. 'Dr Google' is telling me it's exercise induced asthma due to the Air con at the gym being too cold and me rowing too far, which leaves me with a tight chest and wheezy breathing. Going to the doctors on Monday morning
