Today we ran Yasso's- my first time ever doing this workout. Even after being a little sore and tired from the weekend mileage I was really excited to be doing these. The idea behind the Yasso's is interesting, though I'm not sure how well it really can predict everyone's marathon time. Supposedly, the average time of the 8-10 800m repeats you do in minutes will the number of hours and minutes the marathon time will be. I don't know about that... More about Yasso's are explained here: Runner's World Yasso's.
Here are my splits from the workout:

Here are my splits from the workout:
3:54
3:46
3:42
3:41
3:38
3:34
3:34
3:23
That's an average of 3:39....a Boston qualifiying time. Ha- I'm pretty sure Bart Yasso's predictor is a little off. But even if he's 20 minutes off, that's still a 4 hour marathon. Do I dare move my goal time up from 4:20 to closer to 4:00?
