This is Tuesday, November 8, 2022.

It is day two of Week Eleven of the 2022 RunBlogRun Fall Cross Country Training & Racing Program. We post

twenty-two weeks of training for fall cross country.

Tempo Runs are part of the modern distance runner and coaches’ training tools to build a top-class runner. Most of the

elite runners in the world use tempo run.

I keep it simple in this program. I suggest for freshmen to seniors to build their fitness around a 20-minute tempo run.

The site should be a track or a flat bike path. I suggest that you do tempo runs with your friends. The pace is 20 seconds

above your average mile pace in a current 5k race.

Your workout for today is warm. up slowly and completely, 20-minute moderate run, then, 20-minute Tempo run on the track, followed by 20-minute moderate run, then 6 x 150-meter sprint stride-outs, and a slow and complete cool-down.
