I hate Yasso 800's. They are the workout that makes me cry everytime. I traveled all day yesterday and didn't get home until after midnight last night. I attempted getting up to run this morning, got dressed and headed out the door and up the hill for about .1 mile and felt like I was going to throw up ( common for me when I reach the complete exhaustion stage). There was no way I could do a hard work out this morning, so I turned around and went back to bed. I headed to the Y after work and ended up doing the work out on the treadmill. Pro: I hit the right pace every time and yes, it sucked. Con: I am afraid I am going to fall off the treadmill running at such a fast pace. The first two where horrible - this workout for me mentally is just a nightmare and I have no idea why. The third, I started making up my own trash talk to the song on my ipod and it actually helped. The forth was okay but I really just wanted to be done. To think I have to build up to 10 in the next 6 months - agh! I then did 1 mile of 1 min @ 5K pace and 1 min @ MP and cooled down for .5 mile. So, so glad it is done. I am worried that I have done 3 speed workouts in the last 2 weeks on the treadmill and that it is not as tough as outside. I always set the incline to 1% but this is the first workout I felt was really hard. Avg pace 8:10 Yoga afterwards - sweet!
