I dug out my old Saucony Tangents this morning to try some Yasso 800's at the THS track. My goal was to average sub-4:00 minutes for 8x800 repeats.

Results: 3:30, 3:40, 3:38, 3:51, 3:52, 3:51, 3:56, 3:47 (avg. 3:46)

With two weeks to the Utah Valley Marathon, where my goal is to break 4:00, I'll take it.
