8 x 800m at running club in the B group this evening. It felt absolutely brutal.

Yasso

It would be interesting to do a data scrape from Strava of people's 800m & marathon times to find out what the actual correlation is.

You could also work out the correlation for other distances, a la Mcmillan (where
t2 = t1.(d1/d2)^k)

Current received wisdom is that this is based of a constant of 1.06

I thought it was the 800m pace you could hold over 10 reps, so wouldn't it be difficult to get the Strava data? I'm skeptical, as I did my 8 x at sub 2 minutes 53 seconds, but I doubt I could successfully train to do a 2.53 marathon.
