While I have heard of Bart Yasso, I didn't really know a lot about him. He has a great story and job! I read a good interview with him on "RunnerDude's Blog" he, RunnerDude, also does good work, so have a look at his blog if you haven't already.
A quote from Bart
"I tell runners all the time, my tagline is “Never limit where running can take you” and I truly mean that physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally. Thirty-some years ago, I just went out to run with Brandy the dog and it’s changed my life forever."
We know it, but it never gets old hearing it ;)
At the very least it keeps us sane. Today had been a really horrid day until I went for a lunch time 7k with some of the guys from the office. Now, suddenly it's a magnificent day!
ReplyDeleteCan't argue with the wisdom.
THAT'S DAM WEIRD!!!
ReplyDeleteNo not Bart, but I put a running quote on my blog too! without seeing your posting first!
Have you ever done Yasso 800s? If not, check them out.
ReplyDeleteI've done them a coup;e of years ago, gave me a 2.46 marathon time, did 2.58 in the marathon but it was a very hilly race 1,750ft of climbing!
ReplyDeleteThink Thomas did the Yasso 800's as well but can't remember what his result was.
I think if you have been doing a lot of interval work they will give you an over fast marathon prediction time!
Thanks for the link Scott. Bart's is a great story - and then there's the people he meets 48 weekends of the year - inspirational stuff.
ReplyDeleteIl semble que vous soyez un expert dans ce domaine, vos remarques sont tres interessantes, merci.
