Up-Tempo Repeats

This week, we asked members of our Boston Racing Team to share their favorite workouts for some extra training inspiration that can suit any runner–from a miler to a marathoner.

Veronica Graziano shared one of her favorite speed workouts with us for you to try on your own:

4-6 x 1.5k at half marathon pace with 90' jogging rest, or 4-6 x 2k starting just slower than half marathon pace and finishing faster than half marathon pace, with 75' jogging rest.

A note from Veronica:
"During the base building phase, I think it's important to pay less attention to your paces, and spend more attention on doing workouts on fatigued legs. You could achieve this by doing tempos after extra-long warm-ups, getting in a 90+ minute run the day before, or stacking a few higher mileage weeks up before jumping into workouts.

Learning to grind through a tempo on tired legs will make you stronger and more ready to hit the sharper workouts that you'll focus on when racing season finally arrives."
