Nice work on the BRIC-used C2, Nellers, and even better on the 2K! That's a great final split and shows you're very close to PB form despite the recent setbacks in training.
Happy to keep the same thread (or with a title update, if Fetch can do that?), as it'll keep all the useful links etc. in one place.
Sinj - that session looks brutal!

Chatting to our parkrun ED this morning and told him I was volunteering at the BIRC in a couple of weeks. He used to compete there: best time was 6.26!

Ye Gods, that C2CTC session sounds murderous. I have never seen 1:3x.x on my PM3!
Well done Nellers on a new pb. 7:20 is excellent going.
I think that 8:08.5 is as good as I can do for now, having been done in a well warmed up state. I'll do some more distance and have another go sometime, I think I have sub-8 inside me somewhere but not much better than that.
No exercise for me today. For some reason I feel lethargic and thick-headed. Maybe it's the change in the weather, maybe I'm coming down with something.

Not a PB Muttley, but significantly quicker than I expected at this stage of training. Another go in a month and again around Xmas all being well and I reckon I'll get a PB then.
Hope you feel better soon mate.

So no PB today but a better result than I expected. Here's a thing I've just noticed though: The PB at 7:16.7 was achieved at a stroke rate of 29. Today I was 1 second per 500 slower BUT stroking at 25 average.
We were talking on here about stroke rates and what's better. I reckon with some pacework over the next month or 2 I'll be able to up that rate to 26 or 28 and I'm sure that will be work a couple of seconds per 500 at least.

It's when we get to this kind of times that we realise how much extra effort it takes to shave a bit more off. A gain of a couple of seconds doesn't sound like much, but it's a hell of a lot harder work!
Oh, and congrats to the happy couple of Nellers and his soon-to-be new C2 (stealth black, I hope). Wishing you many thousands of metres together
