Re: marathon training - tempo runs

I'm sorry but I can't see it.

Only places where the pace is mentioned are Farltek, Intervals and Hills, and it says

All other workouts (including the long runs) should be run at an easy training pace -- emphasis on "easy."...

Hi.

There are also no tempo runs in the competitive program. (http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_4/127.shtml)

Another question is what pace I should run on days where the pace is not mentioned?

Hi.

I've been running for a while and now I'm starting to train for the Tel Aviv marathon. 145 days from now.

So the Beginner Marathon Program (http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_4/130.shtml) sounds like a good idea.

In the "The Runner's Building Blocks" there is something called Tempo Runs> but in the training program there are no such runs.

So when do I have to do the tempo runs if at all?

Thanks.
