Run #21 - Quality 5.5 miles (Yasso 800's)

Hello all, today I focused on my running and not on runs and stairs. I decided to follow one of the suggested "Quality Runs", the Yasso 800's. For those of you, like me, who did not know what these are, they are 1/2 mile splits run at a specific pace separated by 1/4 mile jogs. The formula for these runs is if you plan on completing the marathon in 5 hours 0 minutes, then you run the 800's in 5 minutes.

I ran 7 splits and average 4:54 over all of them. My goal is to complete the marathon - and I hope to do it in under 5 hours, so I look like I am on track. I was totally spent for my 1/4 mile cool down after the last split, which is what is supposed to happen.

Tomorrow is an "Easy" day and I have volleyball tomorrow evening.

Goodnight all,

Philippians 4:13
