Good morning,
Just a few weeks of track workouts left for this season so come out and join us on the track tomorrow morning.
Warmup: Jog to track
Yasso 800s: 8-10 x 800, 45s rest between
Cooldown: Jog back to Hoboken
We are doing Yasso 800s again because of the NYC Marathon. You should do 10×800 at least 11 days prior but ideal is 14-17 days before the marathon. Tomorrow is about 17 days out so it’s a good time to do them. If you would rather wait until next week (11 days out) you can do that as well.
As always our goal is to run each 800 at a consistent split. And for the marathoners, if your goal is a 4 hour marathon you should hit 4:00 on each 800. If your goal is 3:45 then you should run them in 3 minutes, 45 seconds. Get it?
Meet at 9th & Park at 6:15am to jog to the track or you can meet at the track on River Rd. in Weehawken for the 6:30am start. If you plan to run 10 x 800 you may want to get there early or be prepared to get back a bit later than normal.
–Michael
