8 PAX enjoyed a beautiful sunrise at Martin MS and endured some pain as we ran Yasso 800s Tuesday at #Hi-Fidelity. The Yasso 800 workout is a speed workout designed to be repeated over several weeks building to 10×800 in prep for a Marathon. As the Boston Marathon was Monday, this seemed to be an appropriate workout. All Pax completed 5 repeats of 800m, and nearly 5-miles of overall work.
The THANG – Warm-up with one lap around the track and COS (Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Windmills). YHC wanted to get in 6 repeats, so we got right to business. Unfortunately, my calculations were off and we managed only 5.
The WORK – 800 m repeats in min/sec of your target marathon time in hours/min with a recovery jog of equal time. Pace works out to be 30 sec slower per mile than your “Mile time” if you follow the Daniel’s pace calculator (http://www.runsmartproject.com/calculator/). We had groups at 3:15/800, 3:30/800, and 3:45/800.
COT with stretches, announcements, and prayers.
