Fri and sun tried Siikavan Elmo’s special: approx 1.95 km of gravel road two-ways near my parents’ summer cottage. Elmo’s (10000m in 30.14) all-time best is 11.02. I was able to do 12.28 (first half 6.15, second 6.13), which equals to c. 3.12/km. Today did just one-way in 5.55, which equals to c. 3.03/km. Wednesday 4K with two times home 1K in 3.12 and 3.07, thursday 7K. Week total less than 50K. Speedwise much harder than the figure suggests.
