Our Monday workout was programmed at the special request from

Intermediate Distance Workout

Long Distance Workout:
Long Distance Workout:
8 x 800m with 1:1 work to rest
Ultra Distance Workout:
Yasso's 800: 10 x 800m with 1:1 work to rest
Workout Details: The theory behind Yasso 800s is that your time in minutes and seconds for a workout of 10 x 800m with equal recovery time is the same as the hours and minutes of your marathon time. For example, if you can run 10 x 800m averaging 3 minutes and 20 seconds with 3 minutes and 20 seconds recovery, then this predicts that you can run 3 hours and 20 minutes for your marathon. Run 2:55 for the 800s and you can run 2:55 for the marathon.

Probably a really dumb question but I literally just found this program so forgive me. By 6x800 do I 4800m straight or run 800m rest then repeat x8?
ReplyDeleteThe rest is based on your 800m time. The work to rest ratio is 1:1. As example, if the 800m takes 4min then you rest 4min prior to your next 800m interval.
