Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
Nice rowing Jon, nearly the French protocol!EF warm up really worked as you got your HR up quickly and so didn't pay too much for the quicker start. Sub 7:20 next time

Nice one Jon - must be very satisfying to PB on the "Blue Riband" distance.

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
great row Jon...it was before i joined the Strava Free Spirits group...so i had a eye on it today...next 2k goal...sub 07:15 ? Or choosing another distance...because season ends soon...today i had to make the decision between a 2nd go for the ctc or a HM...i opted for the HM and was happy with my result...finally i dipped under that magic mark of 80min...the long slow endurance stuff payed off...had to backup 8km before the finish...but emptied all the fuel in the last 500m and as a consequence in doing so i experienced my Hr max of 181/min...thats truly a rare experience...@74,1kg DF108

That’s a world Top-20 row and second fastest nationally this year Claudius

Anyone had any PBs recently?
After the pleasure of setting a new 6K PB for the CTC and looking at my PB and SB for the 10K, I was pretty confident that they were within my sights as I did the IRL today. My confidence was misplaced.
Previous PB was 39:54.0 (pace 1:59.7), set in 15/16 season. I don't remember setting my SB (41:07.4) but whenever I did it I must have been messing about.
I found this very hard after only 2K and just hung on to my PB pace until the very end by which time I was completely spent. The rating of 28 was a lot higher than I had planned, but this was where I felt most settled. I'm not sure if this is why it was so tough. Improvement of 10 seconds which feels tiny compared to how hard I had to work for it.
With the IRL complete I now have no "duties" for the rest of the month, so no need to worry about any vaccine side-effects when I have the jab on Wednesday. Yes, I did schedule the vaccine around my rowing schedule - slightly obsessive??

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
Nice row Jon, only 1.7S/500 slower than 6k is a huge achievement, no wonder it was a struggle!

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
Congrats Jon...already spotted it on Strava, great row...
I did a 3rd go on that Marathon-Distance on Thursday...my 2nd was on 20.February...but...that one was a bit mispaced...so didnt rank it, i also had to alter the Drag during Race...it was with 115 to high for me for a Marathon. This time i set it up to 101 and that was fine. Stayed disciplined under a 2min Pace and that went well according to my plan- so no Game-Dynamic this time! But happy about a new Badge . And happy with a new pb.

Well done Claudius. Any FM is special, but a FM PB is extra special

Claudius - that’s a fantastic FM - you are still 2 secs short of my PB so something for you to aim at next time
I am astonished that you can generate such pace at that DF - I would be lucky to get 2:30s at that DF

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
Great FM Claudius, really good consistent rowing.
PAul, I think the rest of us think the same at rowing with DF 300+. My legs muscles would be toast within a few minutes!

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
BTW , my FM PB was set on a benign 216 DF

Thx all, and again i am still recovering....
Paul, 216 is even higher than my DF for sprints...interesting how different the human body adapts !
