All repeats are at the same pace. When you can do 10 X 800 at a consistent
pace, that 800 pace - converted from minutes to houurs - is a very reliable predictor
of your marathon time. For example if you maintain a pace of 3:30 (three and a
half minutes) for each of ten 800s, the odds are very good that your marathon
time will be very close to three and half hours. | Run

This is a once-a-week workout. If you are
new to 800s, it may take you a few workouts to figure out what your sustainable
800 meter pace is. Also if you are new to 800s, you may not be able to do 10 of
'em. You can start with four and add one or two every week or so. |
