Yasso 880s are a common marathon-training workout that may roughly predict or calculate the time you can expect to run in your marathon.
The workout involves a series of 880 yard or 1/2 Mile repeats.
The idea is to run 10 repeats shortly before you taper for the race. The 880 time that you’re able to average for 10 repeats (in minutes and seconds) roughly correlates to the marathon time you can expect to run (in hours and minutes).
For example, if you’re able to run 10 Yasso 880s in four minutes (4:00) average in training, you may be able to finish a marathon distance in approximately four hours (4:00:00).

Jog back 440 or 1/4 mile with the total recovery minutes the same as your goal pace.
**if you ran 4:00 minute half you get a 4:00 minute recovery.
