Now I’ve completed one! It was a real effort today. It was raining and the route wasn’t all flat. Anyway, I chose to run with constant 3 hrs speed with Terho, an orienteering-fellow (who finished in 3.00.00 sharp!). In 5K splits 20.51, 21.14, 21.27, 21.09, 20.57, 21.18, 21.07, 20.43 and the last 2.2K in 9.33. First half 1.29.30 so it was a negative split! I tried to speed up at around 33-34 but could only do some 3K at sub-4.00\/km pace. At around 30K it didn’t feel that good but two PowerBar gels helped a lot and made the speedup possible. Too bad my legs were not ready to do it until the end. The 25K a week ago was the obvious reason. Anyway, this was a good training race for the next season!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
