I am a 31 year old male and have been running for about 6 years, and the last 2 have been almost entirely low HR (Z1–Z2) training. I’ve built durability, but my aerobic pace has stalled — I’m still around 10:30/mi in Zone 2 despite consistent training. I consistently get a minimum of 7 hours of aerobic work each week, and sometimes add cycling to bring my total volume up to 10 hours, along with 2–3 strength sessions (posterior chain, quad, tendon health).
Would it make sense to introduce a structured tempo progression (e.g., 2×15 min, 1×25 min, 2×20 min, 1×35–40 min at Z3/AeT) as my key workout each week — supported by my usual aerobic base runs, strength, and a long run — to raise my aerobic threshold and improve sustainable pace? Or would you recommend a different strategy to finally unlock faster aerobic running?
