Ran today the occasional inva set with Vane. This time 6 x 1K with 2 min breaks. Vane was from another planet, clocking in 3.07 something almost every round. My times were in the 3.10-3.15 range. Nothing special.
The main point was that Vane told me they’ve dropped the qualification time in half marathon to 1.11 (3.22/km). This means that if I run half in 1.10.59 or quicker I would qualify for 10 000 m in the legendary Kalevan Kisat, the Finnish National Athetics Championships. A worthwhile goal. Whether I do it or don’t, I’ll pass the marathon until fall.
