2026 Winter Middle Distance Training (800m-5,000m), Tuesday January 13, 2026, Week 2, Day 2, the second Tempo Run of 2026

Dreaming of a faster 5k this spring? 🌷 The secret isn't just slogging through slow winter miles. This week, try adding one simple workout: the 20-minute tempo run. The key isn't to go flat out. Find that "comfortably hard" sweet spot. A great rule of thumb is to run about 30 seconds per mile slower than your current 5k race pace. It's the perfect session to build your running engine and mental grit for the season ahead, without burning out. You'll thank yourself on that first start line! What's your go-to winter workout?
