Workout: Yasso 800's on the treadmill

  • 1 mi warm-up / 9:33
  • 6 x 800 / 8:34 treadmill speed / 4:20 minutes
  • 400 recovery / 9:41 treadmill speed / 2:66 minutes
  • 2 x 800 / 8:19 treadmill speed / 4:13 minutes
  • 400 recovery / 9:33 treadmill speed / 2:62 minutes
  • 1 mi cool-down / 9:41

Thoughts:

  • According to the book (Simple Marathon Training), I need to run MUCH, MUCH faster on the treadmill. I am unclear as to why the treadmill pace does not better match up to the table in the book. I ran on the treadmill at a pace of 8:34. It took 4:20 minutes to run 800m. According to the book that would mean that my pace was 10:15. That is a huge discrepancy. Today's workout/calculations appear to be an epic fail.

Cross Training:

  • Spinning - 45 minutes
  • Pound - 45 minuts

Overall Average Pace: 10:47

Conditions:

  • 12°
  • Wind NNW 6 mph
  • Light snow flurries

Splits:

  • 2 mi - 11:42 / 4 mi - 10:30 / 6 mi - 10:29 / 8 mi -10:38 / 10 mi - 10:41 / 12 mi - 11:08 / 14 mi - 10:20

Thoughts:

  • ​I was hoping for an overall pace closer to 10:20. I wore three layers of clothes. I felt very weighted down.
  • At mile 10, I changed my running shirts. I was very wet and cold. I didn't think that I'd be able to complete the final 4 miles if I continued feeling so cold. It was a smart decision.
  • My quadriceps are sore from the increased cycling and squat workouts. I should become more acclimated to the new workouts in a few weeks.
