Speedwork day.

1 mile warmup then:

Yassos w/400 meters jog in between each one

6 @ 3:30

3 @ 3:20

1 @ 3:15

Then 2.75 mile cooldown.

**First 5 felt great, 6&7 felt tough, 8&9 really tough, and 10 dang tough. Really tried to concentrate on running relaxed, but that was very hard to do at the end. :)

Time to hit the books.

Speedy. That's about all I can say.

From RAD on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 17:41:20 from 67.172.229.125

holy moly TODAY was speed day? I thought every day was speed day for you! Nice work on those 800 paces - those are killer times, especially to FINISH that strong!

From Smooth on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 17:50:42 from 174.23.239.148

WOW! You hit 10 Yasso's already? Those are AWESOME splits! I hope you're resting those speedy legs of yours! Remember to take time to eat, hydrate and sleep. You're too diehard for your own good! LOVE YOU!

Hey, I'm planning a Sat. group run on the Lehi JRP, are you interested?

From Teena Marie on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 17:57:51 from 174.52.45.85

Thanks Paul, Rachel and SSF --

But you have to realize that my 400 recovery jogs were very slow (around an 11 minute pace). And aren't you suppose to do yassos with only a 200 meter recovery jog? I really don't know what I am doing.

From Teena Marie on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 17:58:25 from 174.52.45.85

Oh yeah SSF -- Saturday might work for me! Just let me know the details. :)

Love you!!!

Did you get my email?

From Smooth on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 18:06:35 from 174.23.239.148

The recovery interval is debatable. Some say to do 1/2 the distance, some say to run 1/2 to equal the time of your 800's time. Who knows. I think you're doing it right. I usually go out too fast on my first 800, then die in the middle and have to hang on with dear life the last interval. Yes, I just got your email.

So far, Maynard shows interest in coming. I'm thinking start the run at 8am? Not sure what everyone's schedule is. I have a 15 miler and need to be done by 11am. Steven needs the car for violin around noon. Hope you can make it! LOVE YOU!

From Peggy on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 18:17:30 from 71.213.47.209

Wow, Teena, nice times! What are you training for?

From Kelli on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 20:04:34 from 71.219.89.82

Nice work! I do not know if i have ever done a Yasso??? BUT I can tell those are super-de-duperty fast for a half of a mile!!!

Hope the studying is going well.

From Kathie on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 21:19:09 from 63.248.105.188

Wow so fast!

From vinh on Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 07:09:16 from 75.77.22.187

Love the workout Teena! You are awesome!

From Andy on Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 07:33:54 from 198.60.114.178

Wow! According to Yasso this shows that you should be able to run a 3:20-3:25 marathon.

From Lyman on Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 11:28:56 from 170.135.241.46

VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!! Don't want to jinx you but its looking like you are going to set another PR at Boston.

From Rhett on Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 12:17:17 from 74.41.249.102

Like Andy said and I said the other day, you're set to run a much faster marathon than you are planning. I think you are doing the Yasso's right with a 400 m recovery jog. And was the last one the 3:15 and the 7th-9th 3:20? Normally you do them all at the same pace. I bet you could have done them all around 3:20. You are a ROCKSTAR!!!! :)

From JulieC on Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 21:45:57 from 71.35.216.162

Way to go Teena. You are a machine especially considering the leg weight lifting yesterday too!! : DD

From Teena Marie on Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 22:44:53 from 174.52.45.85

Hi Peggy! I'm training for Boston.

Kelli, Kathie, and Vinh -- Thanks!!! I am trying hard. :)

Andy, Lyman and Rhett -- You all are very nice and have much more confidence in me than I do at this point. I am really giving it my best effort and would truly be ecstatic to run a sub 3:30. My biggest concern right now is to continue training while avoiding injury. I think the 3.5 running days a week should hopefully help with that.

Julie -- We all know that YOU, my dear, are the machine!!! :)
