The last one is from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.valimaki.com\/?p=1521\">April 2014.<\/a> This time I really built it up. It all started after I tried 1k with no training more than one month ago at Otaniemi track and pulled 3.11. Some training, 5k on track in 17.38, and another trial at Otaniemi 3.02 about a week ago. I felt three mins was clearly under reach. A few repeats and a focused effort brought it home today at Kirkkonummi track. Based on how fast the first 600m went I could shave off still a few secs with some more training. Or alternatively shoot for a sub 4.30 in 1500m?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was about time to run 1k under 3 minutes again. Not exactly even pacing but feels pretty good.
