Tempo is an intensity that means different things to different athletes and coaches. For me, I define Tempo as an effort comfortably below the Threshold pace. It is the sort of intensity that if you had to you could maintain for a duration longer than a half marathon. It is higher than the aerobic running pace, sort of in the mid-zone between the two levels. Spending more than 15-20 minutes at this intensity, helps the body practice clearing the small amount of lactic acid generated at this pace, without needing to slow down to do so. This is a perfect session for runners and triathletes running events up to full marathons and further.

My race recap- the day finally came, the Auckland Half Marathon just like that is finished. The training up to this event has been eye opening in just what I love and want to achieve, but also what I can achieve, being so much more than I ever thought. I stayed with my Mum at the same place as last year when I competed in the 11km, but this year by the 11km point i was already at a faster pace than a year ago.

This week was the first offical week into my half marathon training program towards the Auckland half on October 3rd. Giving me three months to train specifically, and to get myself to the best I can in the time provided. I’m certain through my training program with Ray I will achieve this to my optimum.

Running at maximum intensity for about an hour will be done at or just below your threshold pace. When an event is longer than this your race pace will be further below threshold at Tempo pace. The best way to prepare the body to handle this intensity is to spend time running at it. This workout is great to include early in your build-up to expose the body to a slightly higher intensity.
