On October 1, 2026, Outside Run published a training article about marathon-pace tempo runs, proposing that a 30-minute continuous marathon-pace tempo run is a time-efficient core workout for half-marathon and marathon runners. The article recommends scheduling it once every two weeks; half-marathon runners can extend it to 45 minutes, while marathon runners should not exceed 60 minutes. If feeling good, runners can increase the pace by about 10 seconds per mile in the final 5 to 8 minutes, but it should still remain controlled. The article states that this workout requires no complex intervals or long recovery, can be completed in about one hour, and provides a solid aerobic stimulus. Currently, this event has only this one report, with no subsequent developments or contradictions with other reports.
