Tempo Runs
Got a mid distance run ahead of you?
Don't want to plod your way through it?
Tempo is a way of managing intensity within training for distance runs. The underlying principle is that you will run a period of the distance/time at a challenging (for you) pace, followed and preceded by running a set distance at a comfortable pace (for you). Deciding that pace can be determined through Heart rate
(>85%), perceived exertion (yep I'm feeling this run), speed (treadmill speeds), or distance (increased stride for the next xxxm/km; pace per distance (experienced runners will know their pace per km).
Continuous tempo will see you utilize one of these methods to manipulate intensity followed by recovery throughout the distance of the run. Effectively increasing lactate threshold with minimal recovery and less chance of injury.
