Can This Workout Predict My Marathon Time?

Does running 10 x 800 meters around a track sound like a way to predict how fast you can run a marathon? Coach Morgan is on the case, putting sneakers to the track to test this theory.

I give this session to my guys I coach: 10x800m at 5k pace, recovery is jog the same amount of time as the rep took. So they're doing the reps in 2m30s, so they jog 2m30s recovery. Seems to be a good marathon predictor.

No guess from me on your predicted Boston Marathon time, however, watching this video you are a fast and strong woman runner! Get after it!

[@freddyheynssens1950]

You are in good shape, wow! Enjoy your weekend.

[@tomcat1319]

I have friends that do the yassos. They are close to the final chip time! My guess 3:22:17. Boston is tough though with those hills! There are no hills on the track!

[@jamessawyer9018]

I feel like it will be closer to this time. Also in my humble opinion you kinda have to factor in, how long you stop at all the aid stations. I would assume not very long. And how bad or good the weather is ect. I put my guess in! That would be nice to get a free year.

Thank you for sharing your running experiences! All runners are cool! 3:22

[@graeb4751]

that was a great prediction it seems!

[@JasonFarrell]

I just finished a 4:03 Marathon following Hal Higdon's advanced1 plan, which includes Yasso repeats. Doing even split 10x800 @ 8min/mile every other week turned out to be a fairly accurate predictor. It closely matched both my Coros Race Predictor of 4:01, and the classic formula of HM PB (1:49) * 2.19 = 3:59. *thumbs up* to Yasso

[@Vicshade]

I’m kind of wondering how accurate this wound up being

[@prj259]

3:10 in terms of your fitness and execution of the workout. As runners we all know the “day” of the race plays a big role in final time

[@outdoors2476]

I was gonna drop 3:13 but saw Coach Morgan at a shakeout on Sunday. I dropped it just below, and to be honest, i think in rewatching this...3 wks ago vs today...she is gonna have a very good day.

[@davidgehr]

Good luck coach Morgan I hope you crush your goal.

[@dimitar297]

I did okay but I appreciate it thanks.

[@TheSwayzeTrain]

Great time.

[@RunMissouri]

Not sure what time you start but temps look ok with a tail winds. 3:17:03

[@GreenAthletics]

Darn, if only I saw this video a couple of weeks ago, I would try this too. I have my Marathon next week. But maybe I can squeeze it in. My guess is 3:26:24. Go Coach Morgan!

[@dr.mohamedaitnouh4501]

Does running 10 x 800 meters around a track any race other than marathon, or just marathon? good info!

[@suewilliams6358]

Hi Morgan, Good luck. You are amazing. I think you can do 3.09. You got a few more weeks left , you got this 👍 💪 🙌 😊

It’s accurate enough to build a marathon plan. Then you can fine tune as you reassess your fitness throughout the build. Boston is a tough course right? I’m guessing 3:13:30 as long as you get the good predicted weather and a tiny tail wind. Good luck out there!

3:08:27 in Boston. It's going to be good.

[@jonathanmelancon3021]

2h58 come on you can do it. I seem to recall another video where you said you wanted a sub 3 in 2024. I believe you can do it!

[@Tom_A.K.]

🎯Coach Morgan's time prediction🏃‍♀️ = 3hrs 14mins 53secs😊 good luck 🍀

[@jasonlaw1079]

Isn't Yasso 800m and rest the same amount of time? If you're walking the 400M an taking 5 minutes it would skew the results. I would guess 3:23

[@TheRunExperience]

Wouldn’t that give me MORE rest. I was taking about 2:45 on the 400s. It was kinda cold and we didn’t want to cooldown.

[@runningwithpete3065]

Wish you the best in Boston! My guess on a tough course is 3:29:27
