Healthy Runner Podcast


Nov 18, 2021

Tempo running, or the threshold pace runs are an important component in any runner's training plan, but what is it actually? Kristin Schulz will explain what a tempo or threshold pace run is, and how you can use it in your weekly running to run faster on your journey of becoming a lifelong injury free runner!

 

Kristen Schulz is a runner, running coach, and physical therapist. She is the owner of Run Your Life LLC and the host of Breaking 5 - A Running Podcast. She helps runners reach their next PR without nagging injuries through online run coaching and strength coaching programs. She also helps running clinicians learn how to write running plans and get their first 2-5 online clients.

Kristin and I have a great conversation on everything you need to know about the tempo run and how to incorporate it into your training.  These are just some of the questions you will get answered during this episode:

  •   What is a tempo run?
  •   How long is a tempo run?
  •   How do you run a tempo run?
  •   How fast should a tempo run be?
  •   Is a tempo run the same as a threshold run?
  •   How often should you do a tempo run?
  •   How do you progress a tempo run?

Perform from the Amino Company. Perform is an essential amino acid-based formulation that I simply add to water in my shaker bottle and have 30 minutes before my run or gym workout.  It tastes great and is easy on my stomach.  

 

Clinical studies have shown that Perform helps improve mental focus, peak strength, endurance, reduces fatigue, and increases muscle protein synthesis so you can recover faster from your runs or your strength workouts.   Check out the research here: https://aminoco.com/healthyrunner

 

If you’re looking for a nutritional advantage to increase focus and concentration, strength, and endurance during your runs and decrease recovery times by quickly rebuilding muscle tissue of your daily training, I highly recommend you give Perform a try.  I know it has helped me and I am confident you will love it just as much as I do!
