Run-A-Thon for Strong Kids, Day 3

Today: 11 miles
Run-A-Thon Total: 14 miles
Workout: 2.5 mile warm up, 10 x 800s with 400m recovery jog, 1 mile cool down

Ran to Riverbank State Park. I was only going to run 5 or 6 x 800s. But I felt good and decided to attempt the Yasso 800s. According to Bart Yasso, if a person runs 10 x 800s at a consistent pace, (let's say 3:15 for each 800), then, the person should be able to run a 3:15 marathon. These were my 800 times:

3:06
3:01
2:58
2:57
2:57
2:56
2:56
2:54
2:56
2:49

Maybe I did the workout incorrectly. Because based on these times, I should be able to run a sub-3:00 marathon, and I just don't think that's possible right now.
