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.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 45-60 minute period of time.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.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.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.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.AEROBIC TRAINING interferes with speed and strength development when the volume gets out of hand. In small quantities it’s fine and even enhances the speed and power development through recovery.
Different types of tempo for different purposes.If you’re training for strength in specific speed related movements such as shuttle runs, sprinting, and jumping, using this elastic energy can be advantageous. 8 sets of 3 reps with 195 lbs. on a 21X2 tempo. II. Strength and Size: I suggest using a slower eccentric tempo to reap the benefits that eccentric training has to offer.
Since.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.The Mental Benefits of Tempo Runs Tempo running not only improves runners’ physical fitness, but their mental strength, too.
The Benefits of Tempo Training Teaches Control Through the Movement Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned athlete, one of the best ways to increase.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.First, tempo runs boost your lactate threshold. Since you’re running at or near your threshold pace, your body becomes more efficient at clearing lactate. Exercise science has taught us that lactate threshold pace is a fantastic indicator of running performance.Despite the fact that tempo runs use a steady, moderate pace, they are actually one of the best ways to increase your running speed.
That is true whether you’re a sprinter or marathoner. Moderate effort tempo runs help build both slowand fast-twitch muscle fibers in the legs and hips.

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
Can you just do this to train for 1.5 miles and 5k’s? My 1.5 mile run I do after push ups, sit ups, pull ups, and chin ups. then i must run my 1.5 mile run.
I currently gas out at 1.25 miles trying to keep an 8 minute pace and I am running in 11:50– 12:00. Thats with out the stuff before. When I do the push ups and stuff I’m running about a 13:30– 14:00 minute 1.5 mile. When I’m gassed and get that very uncomfortable feeling in the diaphragm I still try to push through even if it’s super slow.
Other, can I just run a 5k a few times a week at a 9 minute pace and maybe do sprints 1-2 times a week and this should get me to a fast 1.5 mile? Then eventually the 5k should be a little easier and can increase to say a 8:30– 8:45 pace for it. Which in turn should make my 1.5 mile faster.
Great video as usual! Running at race pace during tempo run?.. Guilty!
My favorite tempo run is 6x1k @3.30/km, thanks for your information, im waiting for your next great videos
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..
Depends on what I’m training for. If training for a 5K/10K, I’ll do 1 or 2 mi reps or a 20 min (3 mi for me) tempo run at true threshold pace. For half marathon I do 5 mi at half marathon pace or progress from marathon pace to true threshold pace. Finally, for marathon I tend to do longer tempo runs (8-10 mi) at marathon pace.
Damn these click bait videos. If you have to trick people to watch your videos then you’re not very good are you? Didn’t bother to watch.
Is it okay to do 20 minutes tempo run 2 times a day (morning and afternoon) for 6 days in a week (only 1 day for rest)?
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!
You said it is 80-90% of your max heart rate then said it is a perceived effort of 7/10 surely to perceived effort would be dependent on how long you do your tempo run for. It is is an hour the effort would be 10/10 for half an hour maybe 8/10?
I’ve built up to run a tempo run of 800m with a 400m recovery and repeating 5 times for a good session. Hoping to nudge up to increase the distance at tempo 1200m in preparation for a 10km event later this year.
Thank you! What if you start off at an easy pace but every mile the pace slows down and gets harder and harder. Does this mean that I need to slow my pace? Thank you.
Really some time when I do long or tempo hhhh i think my sepf Bekle or farh hhh really i.did this mistake
Thanks for the very informative and inspiring video; later I will do a tempo run
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.
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.
Interesting talk as I did a 2 x 15 minute tempo workout last night on trail using heart rate as an effort guide was around 90% max heart rate (173 175 BPM). Last few minutes of each set saw heart rate peak to low VO2 max zone. It burned but feels great after as the body knows it’s done a workout. I’m looking forward to starting your beginners 50k plan soon as doing a trail marathon later this year
My go to Tempo work is 2 X or 3 X 10 minutes at a pace slightly faster than my 10K pace w/ 3 minutes recovery
Holy shit The Vegan Runner 4.6k!!!!! What are you gonna do for 5k?
Hey guys! As far as I am concerned I feel a kind of “breathing” sign when I reach the proper tempo pace. I feel that limit / threshold of sustainable breath without running into “oxygen debt”. As U pointed out, it’s comfortably uncomfortable! Thanks for the great content. U guys rock
Thanks for this video! Today is my tempo running day so this came in handy!!!
I like running 1 mile or 2. mile repeats with rest in between. Rest interval about 5 minutes.
Could you do some tips on running for weight loss?
Love the channel!!
Hello Sage. Just watched you st Comrades 2019. 22nd place overall well done
Lol at the forms of the pro runners. I make this mistake myself. Thanks for the advice
If my 5k PB is 18:30, what pace should I be trying to maintain for an hours run?
How close to a marathon race should one train with tempo runs sessions?
This whole time I’ve been trying to figure out what musical tempo I should run.
Hi Sage,
Had a video idea that I’d like to suggest. Do a stretching/warm up video. Not a 2 min one that tells what you do in general, but one of you actually doing stretches/warm up from beginning to when you start a run. I think this would be beneficial to know the types of stretches you do, how long you hold each one, etc.
Thanks for the breakdown. I’m starting to find my jogging (I really just jog) is getting easier, as my training effect readout post jog is dropping, dropped from 4.8 down to 3.2 and I find I have to add short sprints to keep my heart rate up so as to stay in the high aerobic or low threshold zone. I do 4 to 4.5km’s. When I rebooted my jogging routine, on a 45-50 min sortie, I could come back with a TE of 5, maybe 3 outings in a row. My legs now are rarely ‘very uncomfortable’ at the end now. Appreciate all the insight. Thanks.
Sorry but your definition of “tempo pace” as an effort you can sustain for 30min does NOT match most definitions out there. It’s usually an effort you can sustain for 1h.
what could you tell me about stride rate? Ive been told my stride rate is low, is that good or bad?
I’ve heard threshold pace is 1 minute slower than ur best mile pr for most runners if ur still in that pr mile shape
Nobody ever does tempo runs right because they always end up racing it to satisfy their egos.
Hi! 1st I wanted to say I love your videos, but I was wondering is 6x800m at threshold pace with 1 minute recovery a decent workout for base phase?
Hey Sage. I’m from South Africa and was wondering if you and Max are going to run the Comrades again this year? You guys had a great first attempt in 2015 and I have been looking forward to the next up run for two years now. Really think you guys can give the front runners a go.
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.
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.
How do I progress with a tempo run? I did a tempo run yesterday at a pace of 4:35/km for 5km, should I increase the pace by 5 seconds next week? Should I increase the distance?I have been a distance runner for a few years now so endurance isnt a problem but I want to Get some Pr’s at 10km and 5km, I am not that fast.
my coach always told me to do it about 1 minute above mile pace…
Tempo runs are good for one thing that is to bring others that are slower than you to get them up to speed. Running in a 5k speed is the key to winning. But I don’t think you like to win. I think you are stupid when it comes to keeping your body in shape and recovery mode. 5 flat is great and Making fun of other countries because they have different ideas of XC runs shows you how smart you are.
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
Is that London Bridge at 2:03 in the background? Trying to get an idea of where these are filmed
A very good video here! I always comment on peoples strava when they say recovery ride yet averaged 19mph. Tempo!!! Some people just don’t know.
