NEW 6K PERSONAL BEST: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!

“Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.” - Lance Armstrong
After coming to a dead stop in my 6k attempt a week ago, I make sure to go through the necessary preparations, both mental and physical, before attempting it again this week.

nice breakdown on your piece. Curious on how you developed your various goals paces from 2k down to 30r20.

A bit of trial and error. I'd done each of those tests at least once or twice in the prior 2-3 months prior to setting those goals, so I had a rough sense of what ambitious, but reachable goals would be given ~4-5 months of solid training.

@@dadboddadvlog so nothing based on % of 2k watts/splits etc, just by guess and by gosh. Nicely done

Ah, forgot to mention that yea, I know from college experience that my 6k is usually ~2k+7, 10k is ~2k+10 or 11, and HoP is ~2k+13 or 14. Rough guideposts, but seems to have held true recently as well.
