Understanding Running “Workouts” // Tempo v. Interval v. Fartlek Runs

These are “workouts”. These are not “easy runs”

It’s more about TIME rather than DISTANCE.

• Tempo Runs
  • Threshold runs
  • Lactate threshold runs
  • Sustained effort at MODERATELY HARD pace
  • 20 minute sustain it
  • No Rest
  • 10 min warm up, 10 minute cool down
  • Pace? Has to be pace management. Keep a constant PACE
  • No breaks.
  • Bread and butter stuff
• Intervals
  • Run and rest
  • 1 minute to 7 minute HARD interval
  • Hard run, shorter time
• Fartlek
  • Sprint
  • Then slow down
  • Have fun with it
  • 2 min ON, 1 min OFF, for like 10 times
  • Good starting workout
