Let's Get Ready to Rumble!

I'm getting psyched up for the Rumble this Saturday. I did Yasso 800s on Friday and am planning to do it again before the run. I'm not doing a marathon, but Yasso 800s are supposedly a good predictor of your marathon time.

Basically, you run 800m several times with 400m cool downs in between. You then convert your average minute:second time into hours:minutes in order to predict your marathon time. For example, I averaged 4 min 10 seconds for the 800s, so theoretically my marathon time would be 4 hours 10 minutes. I would be stoked to do that well. I'm hoping to break 4 hours this Sat for 19 miles, so we'll see...

Here's a throwback to the '90s. That's right - Jock Jams. You remember how awesome it is.
