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. In this episode, 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?

Are you constantly suffering a running injury that causes you to stop running and then when you are starting to feel good again and start running you get another injury? Do you think you are old and slow and have never been an athlete so you wonder if you should even be trying to run? Do you think you can't do hard stuff and your mind becomes the biggest challenge you must overcome so you can be a "runner"? Does it get hard to balance running with life…and those nagging injuries? Do you want to become a faster runner? Do you want to run a 10-minute mile or a 5k in under 30 minutes? Well, I have just the right person for you to listen to because Tara is one of our Healthy Runner Coaching winners and she will share the struggles she was going through trying to run and balance life as a mom of 5 busy kids ages 7-14 and constantly getting injured.

Do you just want to look cute, feel good and enjoy wearing your running clothes even when you're not even running? Well, this is one episode you will want to listen to because I had the pleasure of chatting with this mother runner, fashionista, marathoner, and amazing person behind the Stiletto Running brand! Shana will share with you how she became a runner in her 40's, how she shaved an amazing 38 minutes off her marathon time to run a 3:49 time and qualify for Boston, and grew an amazing running clothing company for women. We also chat about the struggles she has faced as a runner whether it was getting a BQ by a comfortable margin just to have it taken away by last years historical 7:47 record cutoff or struggling with a running injury and having to undergo a major medical surgery.
