Continuing our discussion on optimizing run-specific training for triathletes, we delve into the realm of Tempo Runs - a key training technique to unlock your full running potential. As a professional triathlon coach, I emphasize the importance of incorporating Tempo Runs into your regimen for race pace familiarity, improved endurance, and mental resilience. Embrace the power of Tempo Runs as we explore their benefits and how to integrate them into your training plan for a stronger, faster, and more confident performance on race day.

Tempo training is a type of cardiovascular training that involves sustained exercise at a steady pace, typically at heart rate zones 4 and 5. This type of training is designed to increase your lactate threshold, which is the point at which your body begins to accumulate lactate faster than it can be removed.
