Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
Thanks Anth. The longer sessions seem to suit me more than the TT. Good job really as I've got a 12 hour charity session in December in memory of a very good mate who passed away last year from diabetes. Target of 130km but hopefully more like 150km

@ Dangerscouse congrats on your FM PB awesome
Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
10K on empty stomach this morning. Rate restricted to 24spm compared to 22spm last week so that resulted in a new PB(28,8 seconds improvement)
Hopefully there will still be room for improvement when I'm doing a free rate(approx. 28spm) 10K

You're right, digging deep certainly does that alright.
All the best with your goal targets!!!

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
Thanks Norse. Still chipping away at it as I reckon I've got a 2:47 in me somewhere!
@ Anth, thanks mate. It wasn't too much of a shock as he lived his life like every day would be his last and he had Type 1 diabetes from birth. He was a great mate but he wouldn't listen to anyone so there was only so much we could all do for him. As diabetes runs in my family I do everything I can to make sure it won't happen to me, and hopefully other people too.

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
Thanks... For several months I've been going back and forth from sprint training and long distance training. I don't really have a preference as of yet but I feel those long sessions have helped improve my stamina at the sprint distances, especially when I am fully warmed up.... and for the record... that last 15k was damm hard to get through.Dangerscouse wrote:@ Lance. I know how hard 50k can feel near the end so really well done for finishing it. Are the long sessions what you're aiming for now?

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
@ Lance, I know what you mean re: the last 15km, but I guess that next time, if you match the pace, it will be easier for you. It's really surprising how quickly you adapt when you get stuck into the longer slower sessions.
I've done six FM or longer distances over the past two months and there's a notable difference in RPE, assuming that I row at a comparable pace. As soon as I get over confident it changes everything!

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
@ Shawn, that's a really powerful 250m sprint, and it felt fairly comfortable? So, you could go faster?

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
Compared to your 2k and relative profile (rating, non sprinter) your 10 is a lot faster. No doubt it felt work, but common, you had so much left. If you had free rated that last 2k would have been sub 1.40-marius- wrote:Thanks Anth_FAnth_F wrote:Amazing 10k! r24 too... very strong.![]()
