It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
Neat -- what are the equivalent shorter ones for 10K races and for 5K races?

Ok so I was thinking after reading the articl by Amby Burfoot about the Yasso 800's. If the 800's work for training for a full marathon would 400's work the same way for a half. I would think so but since I have not done any 800's it would work IMHO. Let me know your thoughts on this. Jeremy
I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
As for 6-minute abs, who works out in 6 minutes?
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
I've always believed the Yasso relationship is backwards. The conventional wisdom is, for example, that if you can run 800m repeats in 3m:45s, you can run a marathon in 3h:45m. I think it's the other way around -- if you're ready to run a marathon in 3:45, you can run 800m repeats in 3:45. So in other words, Yasso 800's have zero predictive value for the marathon. They're not a bad workout, but you'd be much better served doing tempo runs and long runs with 5~6 mile stretches at race pace.
At the end of the day, be happy with where you are and what you've accomplished.
