Although I had never heard of Yasso 800s before, I have been doing 800s (and sometimes 1600s) for my speed training. I have so far done 6 rounds of 800s with 800m jog intervals. I hope to be able to do 8 rounds this week and 10 rounds by next week.
Love your posts about trail running. Maybe it’s really time to take on the invitation of a friend to visit LA.

He was an icon and legend already. I saw his pictures running many Ultras in different parts of the world and he’s running for 30 years now.

Thanks for sharing.

God bless.

I’ll try to remember this technique for my 2nd marathon program after Milo Elims.

But Sir Jovie, what do you think is the best speedwork for the marathon, the 800meter repeats or the 1mile repeats? Thanks.
