The Brooks Beasts Tempo Training Run

Tempo runs are a key staple of any training plan and is essentially a steady speed run at a “comfortably hard” pace, ideally done at 86-90% of your maximum heart rate. Tempo runs are focused on time and intensity to boost endurance, not distance, so are ideal to incorporate into any training plan.  The Brooks Beasts tackle tempo runs at least once per week.

Workout:

• Warm up by running easy for 10 minutes

• Run your tempo at approximately 70% of your top speed for 10 minutes.

• Cool down by running easy for 10 minutes
