What is a tempo run?

Upvote6 Downvote3

Also known as an anaerobic threshold (AT) run or lactate-threshold run, the tempo run was popularized by Jack Daniels, Ph.D., about a decade ago. Here's his definition, taken from Daniels' Running Formula (Human Kinetics): "A tempo run is nothing more than 20 minutes of steady running at threshold pace."

Also, what heart rate zone is a tempo run?

Running 101: Training With A Heart Rate Monitor

Zone 1	Active Recovery	<80% lactate threshold heart rate (LT HR)
Zone 2	Aerobic Threshold	81-89% LT HR
Zone 3	Tempo	90-95% LT HR
Zone 4	Sublactate Threshold	96-99% LT HR
Zone 5a	Lactate Threshold	100-101% LT HR

What is a Tempo interval?

Tempo intervals are simply tempo runs that are broken into bite-size intervals to help you run longer at your threshold pace, or as an opportunity to run faster than you would for a normal tempo run.

How Fast Is threshold pace?

For highly trained and elite runners, lactate threshold pace is about 25 to 30 seconds per mile slower than 5K race pace (or about 15 to 20 seconds per mile slower than 10K race pace), and corresponds to about 85 to 90 percent max HR. The pace should feel "comfortably hard."

How long should you do a tempo run?

Typically, 20 minutes is sufficient, or two to three miles if your goal is general fitness or a 5-K. Runners tackling longer distances should do longer tempo runs during their peak training weeks: four to six miles for the 10-K, six to eight for the half-marathon, and eight to 10 for 26.2.

What is a fartlek run?

Fartlek, which means "speed play" in Swedish, is a training method that blends continuous training with interval training. Fartlek runs are a very simple form of a long distance run. Fartlek training “is simply defined as periods of fast running intermixed with periods of slower running."

3

What is a recovery run?

A true recovery day should not be hard in the slightest. You should be training at a pace that you are barely breathing hard and could maintain a short conversation. Despite how good you feel when running easy, you should not push the pace on a recovery day; otherwise you are defeating the purpose of the workout.

What is a Yasso 800?

YASSO 800S. The third prediction workout comes from the folks at Runner's World and is called Yasso 800s. The theory behind Yasso 800s is that your time in minutes and seconds for a workout of 10 times 800 meters (two laps of the track) with equal recovery time is the same as the hours and minutes of your marathon time

What is a threshold run?

Threshold Running Basics. The concept of threshold running is pretty simple. It's a pace that is faster/harder than your normal easy run, but is slower than your 5K or 10K race pace. While the pace is challenging, it's not so hard that you can't run that pace for 20 or 30 minutes if you're fit.

6

What is a steady run?

Steady runs, or steady state runs as some literature refers to them, are a great way to build aerobic strength, which is the foundation for your best performances from 5k to the marathon. Simply speaking, I define steady runs to be efforts that are about 10 seconds faster to 20 seconds slower than marathon pace.

7

What is a stride in running?

Strides are 20 to 35 second sprints at your mile race pace, or roughly 85 to 95% effort. Typically, they are assigned to a running schedule after an easy recovery run or before a big workout or race.

8

What is tempo in a workout?

There are four numbers that constitute the tempo of an exercise, so it may look something like this: 3-0-1-0. The first number (3) is the eccentric, or lowering, component of the lift. The second number (0) denotes any pause at the midpoint. The third number (1) is the concentric, or lifting, component.

9

What is interval training in running?

Interval Workouts are short, intense efforts followed by equal or slightly longer recovery time. For example, after a warmup, run two minutes at a hard effort, followed by two to three minutes of easy jogging or walking to catch your breath.

10

What is a progression run?

A progression run is a run with structured pace increases from beginning to end. The distance and pace will vary based on your specific training goals. Let's imagine two runners are preparing for a race. They both run their 10-mile workout in 70 minutes.

11

What is tempo in weight training?

Specifically, tempo means how quickly you lift a weight (the concentric part of the rep, also known as the "positive") and how quickly you lower the weight (the eccentric part of the rep, also known as the "negative"). Repetition speed is important because different lifting speeds produce different training effects.

12

Why does lactate threshold increase with training?

As you do more tempo runs, your body gets stronger, adapts to the increased production of lactic acid, and decreases this threshold pace to 9:30 per mile. It's not an easy training term to understand and it takes a lot of control and effort to keep tempo runs in the lactate threshold range.

What is a speed run?

A speedrun is a play-through (or a recording thereof) of a video game performed with the intention of completing it as fast as possible. Speedruns may cover a whole game or a selected part, such as a single level.

14

What is your anaerobic threshold?

It occurs at about 60% of your aerobic capacity or at about 70% of max heart rate or around 80% of lactate threshold. In a sport science lab aerobic threshold is usually defined as the intensity at which lactate just begins to accumulate above the resting level. For more info. Anaerobic threshold (AnT).

15

What is the definition of the anaerobic threshold?

The Anaerobic Threshold (AT) is the physiological point during exercise at which lactic acid starts to accumulate in the muscles, which occurs around the point during increasing intensity exercise that anaerobic processes become more dominant. For this reason it is also sometimes called the Lactate Threshold (LT).

16

What is a tempo in music?

The tempo of a piece of music is the speed of the underlying beat. Tempo is measured in BPM, or Beats Per Minute. 60 BPM is one beat every second. Sometimes the tempo is written at the beginning of the music and is called a metronome marking.

17

What is the fastest tempo?

Allegro moderato – close to, but not quite allegro (116–120 bpm) Allegro – fast, quickly, and bright (120–156 bpm) (molto allegro is slightly faster than allegro, but always in its range) Vivace – lively and fast (156–176 bpm) Vivacissimo – very fast and lively (172–176 bpm)

18

Which tempo marking is the fastest?

From slowest to fastest:

Larghissimo – very, very slow (24 bpm (beats per minute in a 4.
Grave – very slow (25–45 bpm)
Largo – broadly (40–60 bpm)
Lento – slowly (45–60 bpm)
Larghetto – rather broadly (60–66 bpm)
Adagio – slow and stately (literally, "at ease") (66–76 bpm)
Adagietto – slower than andante (72–76 bpm)

19

What language are tempo markings generally given in?

In what language are tempo markings generally given? Allegro is an Italian term for a fast, cheerful tempo. The tempo of a piece affects its mood and character.

20

Which tempo marking means very slow?

adagio: very slow. allegretto: fairly quick, slightly slower than allegro. allegro: lively, rather quick. andante: rather slow, at a moderate, walking pace. andantino: this used to mean a little slower than andante, but now it usually means a little faster than andante.
