The only way I could get my marathon and ultra times down was to do both long slow runs and speedwork. Long runs only for time on the legs and then speedwork as normal. I'm not very fast so I've never done track or repeats or fartlek. My marathon PR is 3:49. My speedwork consists of tempo runs (5 - 6km) and timetrials (4, 8, 10km).Johannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588120934444485158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862081177477888762.post-88313532776474126142010-09-01T16:04:08.416-06:002010-09-01T16:04:08.416-06:00I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THAT VIDEO!!!

I haven't done Yasso's 800's, but I've done similar sets. Although I haven't run any marathons (yet) my overall speed for my longer runs has increased.<br /><br />I missed the Emmy's, thanks for sharing. :)Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18417100332592560231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862081177477888762.post-7209159080047482242010-09-01T10:19:26.804-06:002010-09-01T10:19:26.804-06:00I do the Yasso 800s once a week.

Maybe a little bit.<br /><br />I am a newbie so do not feel like I have any good advice to give, sorry.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01837671746294035442noreply@blogger.com
