50s, clear, North wind
mind/body - good
Hard effort
Prescribed: Yasso 800s - 10 x 800 in 2:40-45
Actual: 2 mile warm up, 10 x 800 (2:38, 2:38, 2:38, 2:38, 2:39, 2:36, 2:38, 2:37, 2:39, 2:39), 2 mile cool down
Now that's what I call consistency! I let the first one be my guide for the whole set, whatever I came up with I would try and hit for the remaining 9. This was not an over-the-top, lactate spilling effort either. I was very comfortable -tired- but comfortable the whole time. 9 and 10 were a little more difficult as I started to feel the fatigue and dead legs. As strange as it may seem, this workout is supposed to be predictive of a marathon time. Strange but I think it's been confirmed - we'll see. My goal for the marathon is 2.44
On a more important note, today is Myles 2nd birthday. Happy Birthday little man!

No way you beat Grimes's PR.
Thee only reason I am doing this lame road race is to shut Grimes up - period! Can you say "Ka-Rush" Grimes PR?
What kind of breaks did you take between your 800's.
Happy Birthday to Myles!!!!
200 meter breaks, walking the first 100 and then breaking into a jog for the other 100. About 2.5 minutes in between
I am a big fan of the Yasso 800s year round, and they are a great predictor of marathon time assuming all other training is in line. With the consistency you have there, plus your endurance base, you should be set.
2:38? I'll take the under!
Sweet! Happy Birthday Myles! 2 already? WOW!
