Benefits. Tempo runs help you develop your anaerobic or lactate threshold (LT), which is critical for running faster. Your LT is the point at which lactic acid (a by-product of glucose metabolization) begins to accumulate in muscles. An accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles leads to the fatigue and soreness that runners experience when running hard.So runners use tempo runs to increase their lactate threshold.
The Benefits of Tempo Running “I consider this type of workout to be one of the most valuable that a distance runner can do, whether training for a race that’s 5K or 50K,” Fitzgerald says. “The physical benefit of a tempo run is the increased efficiency of clearing lactate—a byproduct of hard exercise—from your muscles. The better your body is at clearing.Generally speaking, a tempo run is a sustained effort run that builds up your body’s ability to run faster for longer periods of time, no matter if you’re training for a 5k or a half marathon. Typically you would find a pace that you can maintain for at least 20 minutes, but ideally for a.Benefits of performing extensive tempo runs in this manner include: • Avoidance of high-impact, non-compliant surfaces such as sidewalk, pavement and harder artificial surfaces found on a running track. • Elimination of tripping hazards and other ankle-spraining obstacles often found on poorly maintained fields or running trails.
In essence, the tempo is repetition speed and control. A faster tempo elicits a greater strength response, whereas a slower tempo can be used to stimulate more muscle tissue and greater hypertrophy. Both should be used in a complete training program. Let’s break down how tempo training works.
Tempo running for Speed Training – Charlie Francis Archives. Tempo running will allow speed and power athletes to recover faster while also creating a greater aerobic foundation for speed and sprint training.An entire speed workout, including warm-up, cool-down and recovery periods, takes 60 to 75 minutes.
RELATED: Speed Training For Beginners. Strength Work. Our strength work is lots of hill repeats. There is no better method of building running strength than running hills. We do.
For elite sprinters running 10.2 or faster, 75% of one’s personal best is too fast to recover from. If tempo is for facilitating recovery, you can’t think about recovery workouts for tempo runs! I find “Crisp Jogging” a better option for speed athletes because running mechanics is sharp, but the pounding is minimal.
Tempo runs improve your anaerobic threshold, or lactate threshold. For long distance runners, this means your body is clearing lactate from your muscles at the same rate your body is producing it, allowing you to sustain faster paces for longer, without lactate buildup and cramping.While known for building endurance, tempo runs will also help increase your speed. Not only will it increase your speed, but you’ll be able to maintain that speed for longer.
If nothing else, the addition of tempo runs will give your workouts more diversity.Tempo Running vs. Steady-State Running. If you’re training for a long distance race or you’re working towards becoming a distance runner, you probably know that you must do more than simply run at race speed to prepare for your next event. In general, short and fast runs build speed and leg strength.
Your body’s response to tempo runs in the LT zone helps strengthen its ability to clear lactate more efficiently and ward off signs of fatigue. Increased speed: You’re familiar with comfortable, light runs, and you recognize the burn associated with going all out.The Mental Benefits of Tempo Runs Tempo running not only improves runners’ physical fitness, but their mental strength, too.Benefits of Tempo Runs: Increased lactate threshold to run faster at easier effort levels.
Improves focus, race simulation, and mental strength.These can be completed on the track, treadmill, or road (a steep hill is also an option). By doing a couple of speed workouts every week, you’ll improve your running performance, shutter your race times, and have an easier time keeping up with the competition during your next race (if that’s one of your goals).

How would a work out for a normal person look like when training for a half marathon at 2 hours goal time? When I run at 120 heart rate, I feel like I am standing (so this is G2), running a bit faster, and I am at 150 heart rate (G4?)…any faster and I am at my max heart rate 175 (G5). Thanks
It’s such a fine line…..on my 5k I can run at 5:55 mile pace but take 5 seconds off that per mile and my lactate builds quickly. I’m 45
i couldnt agree more. i started doing faster “intervals” recently. Ive seen a big difference in my overall running ability as well as my longer endurance type runs. shorter distance speed work has been great for me.
A 17.30 min 5k runner telling a 15.20 5k runner how to run. What has the world come to?
was gonna do a tempo run in quarantine lol..defo not with anyone else
Really some time when I do long or tempo hhhh i think my sepf Bekle or farh hhh really i.did this mistake
Been following Hansons beginner plan. Luke has us doing 10 miles at gmp with 1 mi. warmup & cooldown. Plus 1 day intervals & 1 long run weekly. Other days are zone 2 runs, 5 8 miles with 1 rest day. Amazing thing is I’ve actually been able to do it without injury. Just started running 2 years ago at age 60 btw.
Could you do some tips on running for weight loss?
Love the channel!!
I’m all in favor of you making money, but I was interrupted by no fewer than 5 ads in the first ten minutes. Great video, but I’m leaving now.
And this is why I now-actually, for a very long time-do/have done Tempo/threshold runs with a heart rate monitor, sticking with right around 85% of max (using Karvonen, with resting HR and my max HR-max being as hard as could push it on an uphill on a hot day when i was in my worst shape. It’ *might* be a couple of clicks higher, but close enough for now.)
You guys have really helped me in so many ways and I am very grateful to you all xx
Since der r fast and slow (recovery) sessions involved here!! Is it similar to interval running or is Tempo n interval d same????
I tried the pool leash swimming hack and it works great! I am definitely going to do this too.
Is there an easy way to convert mph speed on a treadmill to minutes per km or minutes per mile pace as shown on a running watch and what you get from the McMillan equation. Ex. 19:00 minute 5 k goal is 2:40 per km pace, what treadmill speed do you need to set to achieve this.
If someone is running a 15 minute something 5k….who are we to judge their training methods? Obviously what he’s doing is working.
I’m a little confused how your distances/ times in your tempo running video jump from kms to miles. For example, in a 10km run, tempo run for 4-6 miles? I’ve just found your channel and it looks like there’ll be some great advice though..
hey taren. how frequent should a triathlete do speed workouts? im currently doing speedworks twice a week
My temporun is 8km and 4:40min/km. It takes me about 40mins + 2km warmup and 2km cooldown
Excellent workout!! BTW, just passed the 50lb loss yesterday!!! Hydro and aerodynamic positions are nifty!
How can I stop getting knackered at mile 22 on a marathon and ended up at 8-9 minute mile?
lol, 5/mile is never feeling easy… not for me. I’ve had that at 5.45 though…. never 5! More common to feel like that on a track to start with. You still have an awful lot of muscle energy left….. and of course if we could hang on to that muscle energy stored for a whole marathon we’d all be world record sub 2 hr marathons.
Is that London Bridge at 2:03 in the background? Trying to get an idea of where these are filmed
Thanks for this video! Today is my tempo running day so this came in handy!!!
If you’re legs are tired on a run stop and do 10 leg swings on each leg reengages the hips and freshens the legs.
Thank you for the video never new what runners were talking about now I do! Tried the 20 minutes 10 minutes 20 minutes workout today it was awesome!
Whats the difference btw tempo run and BIKe tempos? and threshold in run and bike? I asked because i see alot the same time ON and time oFF, and others sayin sweet spot! i beleive vo2max is shorter time ON, but have difference btw run and bike?
One i like to do is jog 10 yards into a 80-90% speed sprint for 40 yards. Walk back repeat. Around 10-15 total depending on how i feel
1) LR with last 5k at tempo 2) 2×3 mile @tempo w/2 wu, 2 cd 3) Longer tempos (i.e. 40 min. continuous, flat and/or with hills
Can anyone explain why when I have not built up a large enough base, running a tempo my lungs hurt more than I feel the lactic. Could it be that my body has retained the ability to flush lactic acid out better than my cells’ ability to work efficiently?
I like to add tempo miles in 10+ mile longer runs. Like 1 mile every third mile or a 4 miles continous stretch in the middle or at the end of the run. Depends on how feeling for the day.
can you make me a training plan i’m willing to pay I really want to make it to states this year hmu
Loooool those runners impressions were too much! You should do a “shit runners say ” video
okay I’ve apparently been doing this for weeks and didn’t know….no wonder i’m always exhauted
We’re a little too thin on our side of the pond as far as youtube presence is concerned in the middle-distance running space. Kudos on filling the void Vegan Runner!
I like running 1 mile or 2. mile repeats with rest in between. Rest interval about 5 minutes.
Great video Jason. Tempo training is very important. I usually do sandwich tempo runs every week. For example, 3K warm up 6K tempo and 3K cool down. Sometime I do negative split tempo runs e.i. 6K slow followed by 6K fast tempo.
I have just started running again after a 6 month injury break. I did tempo runs before in the for of 8 times 200m and an other 200m recovery ( + 1k slow warmup and cool down). I did those 200m with over 90% effort. Is this a good approach to interval training? I’d like to get faster on 10-12k runs. My race pace was 5min/km the best and about 5:45/min during an Olympic distance triathlon.
What’s the difference between junk miles and tempo runs? What’s the point of running below lactate threshold if you’re not just running long slow miles?
If I was to extrapolate your description to HR zones, it sound as though Tempo pace corresponds to the top end of zone 3 (as in just before the lactate threshold kicks in). Would you agree?
You need to have some idea of your max HR. My tempo run is between 80-85% of my max HR(168bpm) for 60:00 minutes which is done on a treadmill for 60:00 minutes (1.5% incline) since I don’t have a training partner. Warm up for about 10 minutes and then let it reap.
I have a question… If I’m base training, how do I incorporate core work and strength/weights training into my weekly runs? Currently have one long run and one basic speed-ish run a week. I would really love to strength train 3x a week and do core 3x a week, I just don’t know the best time to do them to avoid injury and maximize my workouts. Thanks!
