Yasso 800s

Yesterday's workout was Yasso 800s, a classic marathon speed workout. I did 10 repeats, with about 3 min recovery (slow jog). Here are the results:


A good workout for me. I continue to feel stronger, fitter, and faster.

For comparison, 2.5 months ago I ran the same workout, struggling through only 4 repetitions @ 3:20 pace.

Only 1 more month until Des Moines!

Half Marathon

I did a 13.1 miler today with Jesse. We finished in 1:33, covering the last 2 miles in 12:43. This was my fastest half-marathon by about 12 minutes. Needless to say, I'm feeling very fit and fast, ready for the last few weeks of training, then Des Moines!
