Runners: Speed Training for Distance

I also say Yassos are a 100% accurate predictor of one's ability to run Yassos...

That was clever.

And quite true.

I did a session of Yassos last fall that predicted a 3:15 or better marathon. Then I ran a 3:32. I am skeptical that they are of any predictive value at all.

I agree with others that building aerobic capacity and endurance is most important.

That being said I tried the Yasso 800s for the first time this afternoon (after a long 177 minute run earlier this morning) and had fun. I wont comment on their prediction accuracy yet as my first marathon is not for a few months and my pacing was off today (I ran too fast of a pace to repeat for many repetitions in my already tired state).

Please excuse the bouncing video. I did not plan on recording and had to hold the phone in my hand.
