The spring is getting warmer and warmer! In today's forest-interval session both the weather and speed were at the top. Actually the training weathers have been rather okay during the last three weeks because few rainy days melted the snow quickly. But it didn't get too warm after that and since I've done high mileage in forest, it has been challenging to deal with my problematic muscles.
Nevertheless, the last three weeks have been really good: > 40h training, running about 400km and running in forest almost 250km. Meanwhile I have participated in some small competitions (my Tour de Keskipohjanmaa) and I will be doing that a bit more. Kalajoki 2-days, Kalajoki training event and national race in Veteli are already history and at least Kärppäjahti is still coming up after Thursday's Huippuliiga. Then it's time to visit Vuokatti for the first time this year.
It's probably pure madness to run the Finnish Champs in ultra-long distance, but what can you do when it's too tempting?Exact plans after that are still to be decided, but most probably we will visit Lapland, maybe 2nd trip to Vuokatti and for sure some great trainings nearby (like on last Saturday) will be executed:
