Friday Fartlek Run: 4x 4min Tempo Runs

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. This is a perfect session for runners and triathletes running events up to full marathons and further, especially early in their build up or during their taper phase.
