Track Night - Yasso 800s

YES - it's happening. :) 


Mark your calendar for a very special night at Kezar track & prepare to be inspired. We'll be running "Yasso 800s" named after the legendary and longtime Chief Running Officer of Runner's World magazine - Bart Yasso. But before that, the man often called "The Mayor of Running" Bart Yasso himself will be joining us via FaceTime or Facebook Live from his home on the East Coast. Before he kicks off our run, he'll give us 10 or so minutes of inspiration and Q&A with him. When it comes to motivation, it's very hard to top Bart. :)

And if you're looking for a book/gift for a running friend (or yourself) you might really enjoy Bart's book: My Life on the Run: The Wit, Wisdom, and Insights of a Road Racing Icon.


We'll then go on our 2 or 3 mile warm-up thru Golden Gate Park and back to Kezar track for the ever popular and effective marathon training/predictor workout - the Yasso 800s. All running paces are invited/welcome. This really is good for everybody.


Yasso 800s build endurance while practicing discipline. Additionally, Yasso's are one indicator to help you predict your marathon time based upon your current fitness. Essentially, you are encouraged to run the 800m in the time that you think you can run your marathon. For example, if you are shooting for a 3 hour 55-minute marathon, you run your 800s in 3 minutes 55 seconds. If you can do that 10 times (at that same pace), it's an indicator that you could run that time for the marathon. If you're not training higher mileage, you may do 4 or 6 or 8 800s.

After our workout, we'll strengthen our abs with planks and music.
