Potential PT #2 – Yasso 800′s

A great training tool for any race is something Bart Yasso (legendary runner) created to train for his marathons: Yasso 800′s. This website has a article describing the Yasso 800′s and how to do them. If you are training for a race, I suggest throwing them into your training plan, Bart has run some pretty heavy duty marathons and he knows his stuff.
