Rule of Ten and Yazoos

Today was scheduled for a Lads who lunch swim and treadmill reps. The LwL went pretty well besides only doing the lunch bit as the 10x200 at 3.45 was a bit intimidating for a Monday, but that will get done later in the week.

The treadmill session was a Yazoo one. Yazoos were named after an American Bert Yassoo who claimed that running 10x800m with 2 mins recovery at a certain pace was a good predictor of marathon potential eg. if the 800s are all at 2mins 40sces then you could predict a 2hrs 40mins marathon (assuming you've done the endurance bit too). My 800s at 1% treddy gradient were 2:55 with a walking 2 min recovery, but I'm guessing that a 2:55 marathon is afairly lkong shot in Austria off the 112 mile bike.

As the LwL swim got ditched, my guilty conscience dragged me to the peak for a penance swim set including 10x100 so that'll do for a start to the week.
