3 days left

July 28, 2009

With three days to go to the Finnish Championships / Kalevan Kisat in Espoo I made my last fast exercise today. 4×1.000m on the track with 400m jog recovery was on the “menu” and it went not as bad as some of the exercises in the recent past.

The times for the 1.000m-repeats were 3:02/3:02/3:00/2:58min. Nothing too special and if I would be in a really good shape I should have run 5 seconds faster because the conditions were pretty perfect (almost no wind, 20°C, cloudy). From now on the training will be decreased in terms of both quality and quantity. Monday was the last day I did 30km (11K in the morning + 19K evening). Now it’s time to get the legs and also the mind fresh for the race. Let’s hope that this way the shape will improve and I can run a good time.
