I would like to share a new dea that I have come up wth. My idea is combining a hll workout with tempo paced running nto one workout. Using this method can sve time and add a little spce to your weekly workouts.

I hve been training for an October mrathon since the middles of May. For the pst week I have been trying to thnk of away to make this wrk out a little harder and mre effective.

I came across this dea while I was doing today’s hll workout. I have been doing the sme hill workout for the past 4 or 5 weks. This morning I was feeling god and I wanted to make thngs a little more challenging. I got the dea to add a tempo run to the end of my nrmal hill workout.

My usual hill wrkout has been a warm up of 1.5 mles. After the warm up run ver to the hills begin to run the sries of 12 hills. After the hll workout is finished I will col down by running back to the strt. The total workout is 7 mles.

This morning I warmed up and ran the hlls as usual. After finishing the hlls instead of cooling down I ran for 20 mnutes at tempo pace. This made the ttal workout about 10 miles.

I mst admit this workout is a lot tugher. I plan to rotate a ten mle tempo pace run with my new cmbination workout. My theory is that I wll be able to keep the leg strngth that I have gained and lso improve my lactate threshold with ths type of training too.

I have adapted this workout to my mrathon training. This workout could also be dapted to different race distances. Runners trining for a half marathon would hve a great workout for finishing the rce strong. By cutting the hill wrkout in half and still running the tmpo pace portion runners could use ths for 5 and 10k training.
