Threshold training, or T-pace, running is highly beneficial for distance runners, providing satisfying workouts and better consistency while avoiding overtraining. There are two types of threshold training: tempo runs and cruise intervals. Tempo runs are moderately prolonged runs that improve endurance, while cruise intervals involve repeated runs with brief recoveries. The focus here is on tempo runs, including extended tempo runs.

Lactate threshold plays a vital role in optimizing running performance, representing the exercise intensity at which blood lactate begins to accumulate. By delving into the significance of lactate threshold and adopting effective strategies to improve it, runners can train their bodies to endure high-intensity workouts with reduced fatigue. This article explores practical methods to elevate your lactate threshold, ultimately leading to enhanced endurance and speed.

It is crucial to acknowledge that endurance training does not rely on secret formulas or miraculous workouts. Instead, it revolves around subjecting the cardiovascular system, metabolism, and muscles to stress, triggering adaptive responses. While training methodologies may evolve, the core principles remain unaltered.
