Possible new training session. Would any members be interested in another weekly session? Joanne B has talked with good experience about how beneficial tempo running can be a part of a training programme. What are people’s thoughts? For anyone who is unsure what may be involved in tempo running I have copied this guide from Runners World’s website:
Tempo runs
Tempo runs help you improve your running economy and your running form. They are sometimes described as ‘threshold’ or ‘hard but controlled’ runs, and they will help you prepare for races of 10K to the marathon. Tempo sessions generally fall into one of two categories: steady runs of 2 to 6 miles; or long intervals with short recoveries. Here’s an example of the latter: 4 x 1 mile at tempo run pace with 2 minutes of recovery jogging between efforts. You should do tempo runs no more than once a week, and they should make up no more than 10 to 15 per cent of your total training.
