Flat treadmill test in Macolin. More or less same results as the 3 last years... well, maybe I can stop training and it wouldn't make a difference ;-). Actually it is good to know where I am standing... all is going well so far, and this year I am not going to screw up with some injuries or other troubles until the races :-).
