Tempo endurance run
The tempo run is one of the absolute classics among the
training methods in running. It is a faster endurance run
lasting 20 to 60 minutes. The pace is fast but not strained.
This training session
is ideal for improving endurance and running performance. Especially for runners who have a goal in mind,
the tempo run is an important training. However, due to the
high intensity of running, the body is also heavily stressed.
Many athletes use the tempo run
to save time and get the most out of their training. Other runners use the tempo run to give their
competition form the final touch. The idea is to gradually get used to a faster pace over time
and thus improve endurance.
The following should be considered when performing a
tempo run:
Some runners make the mistake of starting their tempo run
too fast and then tiring too quickly.
This can lead to an
unproductive running experience and may prevent you from incorporating this type of running into your training. Instead, it is
important to proceed slowly and methodically to ensure that you properly prepare your body for the
faster pace.
