    6ks fucking suck in general. At least with a 2k you know it’s over in 6-7 minutes so you just deal with it.

    That guy is a freak, I wonder if he can play Buck?

    I was always better at 2K than 6K. Much easier mentally to suffer for 6 mins than 19 or 20.

    This is what I tell the ladies to get them to sleep with me. At least it will be over quickly.
    @Swaye 500 meter piece is mor your speed. Takes about 1:24

    My 6k split senior year high school was 1:57 and I was proud. That's just unfathomably fast.

    So 1:57 for 6k is pretty respectable for novices in HS or old dudes. On most elite college teams everyone will be under 20 mins so 1:40 splits. If you go in the low 19s then you’re in Olympian territory. But what this guy did was just off the charts.

    I did rowboat in fall of 2005 to get in shape for spring rugby. I was clearly a novice.

    He didn’t even look that tired at the end. I used to roll off the erg on to the floor and die on the spot ever time.

    Yeah he makes it look easy although he was in a world of pain no doubt. Dude is 6’8”. Physics are on his side.

    A couple years back I was doing roughly 1:50 / 500 meter splits for 5k meters. My best was an 18:15 5k. Felt pretty good about that, but was feeling it at the end pretty bad. This guy is a freak.

    What's yer age approximately @BleachedAnusDawg ? 18:15 is a very respectable old guy 5K. I can't do it a present but I'm old with 2 young kids and way out of shape.
