Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
I approached this one with some trepidation - top tier and the promise of heavy fatigue. In the end, it probably showed that my 5k time is a little soft as the natural pace on this one was under target. Oh no

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
Back to the 5k plan and in the land of awesome Mat times. First time through for me so a bit of feeling around for whether the target pace is realistic: ReactNative-snapshot-image3550935672912817338~2.jpg ReactNative-snapshot-image3550935672912817338~3.jpg Target was 1:53.5, so probably pushed a lit...

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
Currently, I just rely mainly on a varied cycle of workouts and never particularly focus on what's coming next to try and push through periods of lower motivation (and when life overwhelms). That said, concur with Spider that I was not enthusiastic about the temperature this morning and went the ent...

Thanks both.
I think I only knew sub 39 (ha! - every tenth counts ) was a possibility in the last 500m so form went out the window for that last few minutes. I was hoping for low 39s when I started....

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
Well. Apparently my optimum prep for a pb is to row a pb (see the CTC thread):
Handful of seconds off my 10k and HM over a few days. After the fact, I noticed my 10k pace was inside my 30 minute pace too

Re: November ctc - a simple 10k!
With the motivation from Claudius, two objectives:
1: sneak ahead of Wolfie
2: try to bundle my way into boat 1
Here it is: Which turned out to be a PB.

Re: what training have free spirits been doing today?
Low rate doesn't work for me either Rob:
I approached this as recovery, and I suppose it vaguely fell into that but it required considerably more focus to hold 20 spm that I expected.

Slides or not, very impressive Claudius
By comparison, a pedestrian session: Nice ready start to the week though no HR comparison for this as it failed last time through.

5k training. Straight forward start to the week:
Marked as a miss tier session, but it's right on the cusp of being taxing for me at least.
