MTY kick ass...

So a long time ago I touched on my Uncle's made-up MTY runs.  They are 2 miles at Marathon Pace, a mile at Tempo pace, 1/2 a mile at slow/long pace and 1/2 mile at Yasso pace.  My pacing has been sped up dramatically from when I first started these.

  • Marathon pace was initially a 9:45, then got switched to a 9:09 after my 1/2 and has dropped another 30 seconds to 8:35.
  • Tempo has gone from 9:07 to 8:35 to 8:00
  • Slow has gone from 10:30 to 10:00 to 9:30
  • Yasso has gone from 4:30 to 4:00 to 3:40 (1/2 mile times)
Yes, 3:45 is my goal but shooting for a 3:40 Yasso will help give me the needed wiggle room.  Well, my MTY that I ran fully committed and keeping pace in mind went awesome.  It was on a trail at the Adams County Fairgrounds and I ran until it dead ended up north.  I met all my Yasso times and it's a great start.  I am stoked.
