PBs and Stats

[Jonno34]

Went out for a slightly shorter run this morning and despite feeling tired I pushed a KM hard, a bit like I did in the speed challenge, just to see what I could do. Surprisingly enough I got a PR on KM, Mile and 1/2 mile. I then tried to find out how much I had broken the KM one by. Despite being a strava subscriber it seems there is no easy way.

After digging around on the interweb thingy I found this site benwebb.net/ which compiles your stats and you can sort, filter etc. At first glance it looks quite good.

Anyway the surprising upshot is the PR I beat on KMs has stood since January 2020! I even beat the time I did on the Speed Challenge from a few months ago by nearly 40 seconds!

Useful site!

Surprised Strava couldnt tell you that fact?? But good you found the other site to sort it for you. Well done on pushing through.

Maybe it can but could not find it. 😀

Looks like your training's paying off!

As well as Strava, I used to use Endomomdo because it gave me some good updates and it was much easier to locate a given run on it. Pity UA pulled the plug on it🙁

All those hills have worked some magic! 40 seconds is a massive improvement over a kilometre, great stuff!!!

Awesome run Jonno34. I think all of my best runs have been a question of “feel good” “push harder”. “result “ You did this from a position of feeling tired so extra 👏👏👏👏 to you!!

That's a huge leap Jonno34 , well done.

I've never bettered my one and only attempt at the 1k Speed Challenge! However, I came within 8 seconds of it the other day, pleasingly over the final 1k of what turned out to be my PB 10k by some margin. I *was* pushing it though!

I think the difference is or was there was no overall pressure. On the challenge there is a bit of pressure within the normal 5k run and a tendency to overthink. On this case first thought was when I hit the beginning of the 2nd k (same as my challenge benchmark) and I just went for it.
