"20 minutes at threshold pace" is the tempo run everyone repeats. But dig into the physiology and the pace most runners actually hold rarely sits at the lactate threshold it's named for. The label outran the science. #Running #RunningScience #TempoRun #RunningHistory #TheLongRun
Tempo Runs — The Lactate Threshold Misnomer
Coaches have repeated the mantra of a tempo run being 20 minutes of steady running at threshold pace, but does this tempo pace actually hit the physiological line it claims to hit?

The "tempo run" gets sold as one clean workout at one magic pace, but the phrase "comfortably hard" is doing a lot of hiding — nobody fully agrees where that line sits. And lactate isn't the waste product the story makes it out to be. It's fuel.

Tempo Runs — An Introduction
A runner holds a pace that feels comfortably hard, just fast enough to challenge their body's ability to clear lactate from their blood, without being so fast that it becomes unbearable.

Today’s training was an 8km #TempoRun … had to stop in the middle of the fast part 🫣😖🤬 but then kept pushing until the end.

Brisk #TempoRun thru the city with a pause at Toronto’s Chester Hill Lookout for a view across the Don Valley. Although there’s still snow on the ground, at least most of the pathways & sidewalks are clear now. Can wear normal trainers for a change. #Toronto #Run #Running #RunSky #RunnersOfBlueSky
A view looking northwest across Toronto’s Don Valley. In the foreground positioned on the diagonal is the Don Valley Parkway and an on ramp curving to join it. Passing through the middle of the image is a train trestle, also on the diagonal. Beyond the trestle are buildings and grounds that comprise the Evergreen Brick Works. Because the image comes from the poster’s Strava account, it is overlaid with running stats and the words, “Tempo 16 with a pause @ Chester Hill Lookout.”

Went out for a pleasant tempo #run thru East York with a brief stop to look at used teak furniture. Anteaks? #Running #RunSky #RunnersOfBlueSky #Toronto #TempoRun
A map displays an orange line demarking a running route through Toronto’s East York neighborhood. Because the map comes from the poster’s Strava account, it is overlaid with running stats and the words, “Vivace ma non troppo.” An interior shot of the Guff used furniture store located near Broadview and Queen East in Toronto. In the foreground is a wooden framed sofa with grey cushions. Beyond it is a round glass-topped coffee table and a dark grey sofa. To the left of this arrangement is a teak dining room table and chairs and more articles of furniture.

Was going to be a recovery-ish paced run around the neighborhood, but ended up a bit faster at the top end of zone two and into his zone three at times. One of those days where the legs just go where they want to go!
🏃‍♂️😎👍

Cooler Tempo Run an der Mosel
Vor einem Jahr oder so wäre das eine Bestzeit auf 10km gewesen. Jetzt ists einfach ein Eintrag im Trainingsplan.
