Yes! Love Yasso 800s. I've been doing these throughout my training plan. I'm hoping for a sub 4. I haven't run a marathon since 2015, but I've been putting in the hard work. Love your channel!
Learned something new today! I didnt know about Yassos before. Thank you for sharing - now I am wondering where to find a track to do this workout to get an idea of my projected marathon finish time
I think the original intention was for the recoveries to match the duration of the intervals. I know when I last did this workout, I basically did my 800 and then jogged a 400 and immediately went again. 2min standing recovery might provide a similar recovery. Just for me, once I stop...It's hard to get the old bones moving again. Good-luck with the remainder of your block. I'll say hi if I run into you in Chicago.
I know some people do jog recoveries - I used to last year! I sometimes feel I get more out of my speed if I do standing recoveries but everyone’s different! I do understand the benefit of jog recoveries though - good luck in Chicago!
Yasso 800s is a great workout. I just don't know about the correlation between 800 m time and marathon time. I don't see anything logical or scientific about it. I still do them.
Yup, I totally agree! I linked an article in the description box - definitely no scientific evidence but something that some people have found helpful for training and determining what time they might be able to run! If anything for me I think it’s something to do for the fun of it 😄
I don't know how this translates to full marathon. I'm training for my first half and could comfortably run 800m reps close to 3 mins each. Maybe with enough training I can run a sub 3 marathon in a few years lol but I'm just good at short distances.
There isn’t scientific evidence to support it, but I included some info based on the guy who created it and did run his reps exactly replicated to his marathon times! I think it’s more for fun if anything 😄

Great job! Love Yassos - I think they are pretty effective for training that mental strength too.
Absolutely! Mentally such a tough session, halfway definitely felt like I still had so long to go 😆

This is awesome! Absolutely do it and let me know how it goes 😄
🤩 great job sticking to your pace and woo-hoo Gabriel for being a great support system
Thank you! And yes, don’t think I could’ve gotten through it without him motivating me! 🥲
Oh wow Liz-- I tried Y800s years ago and I remember wanting to die. You did great! That's got to feel amazing!!
Aw thank you!! I definitely felt that way early on, it’s definitely a test of mental strength 😆
