Sub 1:00 Splits
Phew it was tough but with a new apProach and a bit of hard effort I've done it. What a breakthrough. I've now recorded split tiMe speeds of 0:58 once and 0:59 three tImes. Dedication does sometimes pay off. I will keep you posted on further developments.
Cheers Chris.

Are you using some kind of trick like a short slide or are you hitting those splits with raw power and speed? That is impressive. How quickly do you get down to that, and how long can you hold it?

Well sorry for the delays guys here is the genuine sub 1:00 split video.

See under Videos.
I couldn't quite get my PB as my ergo is right next to a window in my office at the moment, so a little caution was appropriate.
I will have another crack soon.
Cheers Chris
