Hope you manage to stay fit, the world needs everyone working in the health system and more....
So you confirm what Dave heard and wrote in another post that it is better to stay away from high intensity training in these COVID-19 days?

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
Congrats on the PB. That 175 HR at the end would have killed me, I think...

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
thank you all for the kind words, and yes it will be one of my last hard efforts for the next weeks, because of covid19. There is no official directive but a redommendation to avoid excessive sports in the upper zone to minimize negative affections to the immuns system. It was my late shift on icu on Thursday as i remebered a article of a italian physician who told us...first was silence...then they flooded the hospiral with dyspnoe and atypical bilateral pneumonia...keep healthy...social distancing...!

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
Wow congratulations, that is very impressive. I have had the same message from medical friends, try to steer clear of high intensity exercise but keep exercising to help maintain your immune system.
Stay safe everyone

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
Hello, I'm adding this message to a few of the most popular threads in the hope that as many people see it as possible. Concept2 have launched a new spring challenge, the Spring Vlll Series. It's easy to get involved if you want to. Just row 6k by 12th April and log your time in your Concept2 logbook. Our Captain Stan will then select our boats. Details are below and you can follow progress on the Spring Vlll thread. If you're reading this hopefully you'll want to join in. It would ge great to have both experienced and newer rowers involved.

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
An unlooked for improvement, nice way to PB. If I had realised I was close, I would have made it better but planned session was capped at 24sr and 80% HR. Added another 200m to my 60 min.
I'm mostly liking the ergzone app , not sure about the death defying online comp though. Great if you do any sessions based on HR. I dont use it for everything though.

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
As the last piece in the online Row battles comp, a 2k. Points for fastest overall and fastest 3rd 500. I dismissed the 3rd 500 time and just wanted to finally see a sub 8min 2k. Achieved, absolutely stoked with this result. A massive 21.5s improvement. My first sub 8. Onwards to who knows where since this has taken a year from original injury recovery and beginner pete plan then set programming and working with a strength and conditioning man. All up maybe 9 months of solid grind. I am super happy.

Congratulations Lesley. That's quick, 4th fastest in the world this season and would have been 27th last season. Very impressive

fantastic 2k Lesley, Amazing improvement and deserves that record! But you do know that setting one record means you have to try the others don't you?

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
I believe Lesley stated on FB that the record was very recently taken down to 7:47.x - so not quite a record - but do-able in the near future I think.

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
Thank you everyone. Your support is much appreciated.
Plummy is correct, someone went faster just the day before but since neither were in public, or in a race I am not sure concept2AU will recognise them anyway. They only hold Australian records for 4 events and it seems there are rules for getting them recognised. But we know it is well and truly achievable. Just need to get a bit faster to be the one that takes home the certificate . Iain, I had to readjust my goals for this season on the back of that effort and there may be some future attempts at other pieces once we can get back to playing nicely with others.

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
I didn't think I would ever again post a new PB in this thread, but yesterday it happened I went for a FM and was able to beat my old PB (which dates from June 2011) by 2 mins. 27 sec
Very pleased with that, although my lower back and my legs are still a bit sore.
