A runner expected his club's half-marathon to be a celebration of a friend completing his 250th half-marathon, but the anniversary run is actually next month. With no pace target, he ran the race as a tempo/threshold training effort, monitoring only his heart rate rather than pace or time. The friend's milestone will be properly marked at next month's club run.

A runner completing half marathon training reports another Tuesday aerobic tempo session, this time 3x20 minutes at race effort pace on the gym equipment. The pace was slightly faster than the previous attempt; while it could be sustained across all reps, heart rate drifted closer to threshold than true tempo, suggesting the effort is at the upper edge of the intended aerobic zone.
