The tempo run is even more important during your racing period. It gives you a great chance to build up your endurance and abilty to handle the middle parts of races, where most runners slow down.
Saucony RBR Fall Cross Country Training Program, Week 14, Day Two, tempo run
Tuesday: 1-mile warm up, 20-minute tempo run, 1-mile cool down.
To determine your tempo run pace, add a half-minute to your present mile pace for a 5K. So if you can run 18:00 for a 5K now, that means a 5:50 pace. Add 30 seconds and your tempo run pace is 6:20 per mile pace.
