Every runner thinks they understand tempo runs, but 90% are doing them completely wrong and sabotaging their race goals.

Key Takeaways
1. Tempo runs teach your body to hold a strong, steady pace for a long time. They are especially important for marathon training because you can't practice running the full race distance.
2. These runs feel great but are secretly draining your energy stores more than faster workouts. You need extra recovery days afterward to avoid burning out.
3. You don't need a lab test to find your tempo pace. You can use your goal marathon pace, your heart rate, or simply how the effort feels to dial it in correctly.
