Buzz Runs: easy tempo

Sunday, May 31, 2020

easy tempo

For week three and going forward, add a ~75% "easy tempo" run on Tuesday's. Run your normal mileage for the day, using the first mile to warm-up a little. Then progress the run to about 75% effort. To determine your 75% pace, you can use the color-coded pace chart. Be very conservative in figuring out your CURRENT 5k shape. If you are between lines, drop down to the slower time and then use that 75%. Or you can use the calculator tab at runfastcoach.com. Again, be very conservative in inputting your CURRENT 5k shape. Then go to the Training Pace tab and use the pace range for Easy Tempo. Remember, we always use current fitness when determining paces, never use your personal best or your goal.

William O'Rielly said...: 32.5 miles + 75 mins of stationary biking on the week. Also did some core Thursday and Friday which left me nice and sore. Planning on doing more throughout the upcoming week. Also starting a big project at work this week after a light first two weeks, so I'm going to have to get my sleep schedule regimented and "live like a clock". Have had some random pains in my foot and achilles, but I've been cautious and recovered well. The injuries/setbacks I've encountered in my college running career have been weighing heavily on my mind lately, so I really want to make it happen this summer in order to be fit for the fall.; May 31, 2020 at 9:41 PM

Ronan Sullivan said...: 31 milew. I was at a lake house in Alabama and the beach in Florida last week, which was a blast. But I just spent 16 hrs in a car to get back home. In Alabama, people just let their dogs roam free so I got chased quite a bit on my runs.; June 1, 2020 at 7:13 AM
Cole Miller said...: I ran 30 miles this past week. I can't wait to meet the freshmen like many people have been saying. All of the emails from tech have been very promising in terms of things reopening on campus. I can't wait to be back on campus soon.; June 1, 2020 at 12:22 PM

Kenzie Walls said...: 25 miles and 2 hours of cross training for the week!

Alex Thomas said...: 26 miles this week. Didn’t get to have a mountain bike session in but will definitely be able to for the next couple weeks. Trying to find a new mountain bike, but all of the stores here in Athens are backed up two months. Got in some core as well, but I need to be more consistent with it in the future. Runs are going very well so far.; June 1, 2020 at 6:30 PM

McKenna Trapheagen said...: 28 miles last week and 1.5hrs of elliptical cross training. I was able to get in some core and stability training as well. I'm definitely going to train earlier in the morning, because this heat has been killer. Runs felt much better last week now that I'm getting back into a groove. Hope everyone has a wonderful week!; June 1, 2020 at 10:13 PM
