TEMPO RUN



Tempo run for those who aren't all that familiar with runner's jargon could probably mean a few things (i) time to run (ii) timed run (ii) if you've got time run (iv) run to the beat....
The definition from runnersworld really made a lot of sense: «Most runners have trained their cardiovascular system to deliver oxygen to the muscles," says exercise scientist Bill Pierce, chair of the health and exercise science department at Furman University in South Carolina, "but they haven't trained their bodies to use that oxygen once it arrives. Tempo runs do just that by teaching the body to use oxygen for metabolism more efficiently."
That surely explains why I had a hard time keeping catching my breath....after so many years [not going to say how many!] of breathing I thought I would be more efficient at it by now.....
The «time to run» definition and the «timed run» weren't too far off though....it's was only the getting up part that was really hard because once I was running I was quite glad it was a timed run!
