I had my last big track workout before my marathon (only have a couple tempo runs left). I did Yasso 800s (10x800 with 400 recovery) plus a mile warm up and 3/4mile cool down. I was feeling a little sluggish and tired but I managed to pretty much hit my 3:00 goal. Intervals were 3:03, 2:59, 3:00, 2:59, 3:00. 3:02, 3:01, 3:00, 3:01, 2:53. I went almost flat out on the last one to end on a good note. I always dread track work before hand, hate it during, and then feel great afterwards

great job on the yasso workout. that 3:05 goal is certainly doable. good luck with the rest of your training leading up to the big day.

You're right on track for your goal, Nate!

I think a lot of workouts / races / etc are like that... you dread starting... it sucks while you are doing it, and then afterwards you couldn't be happier that you did it!

Thanks! I'm excited to see how it goes in a month!
