Tempo run pace is comfortably hard—roughly one-hour race effort or the pace you could hold for 20–40 minutes with focused breathing. It trains lactate clearance and marathon-relevant stamina when embedded in 20–45 minute continuous segments.
Too fast turns tempo into a time trial; too slow is just moderate running.
