Don't forget "ridiculously fucking long"
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
Suppose you do a 50-minute run that looks like this: 10 minute warmup + 15 minutes at 10k pace + 10 minutes easy + 15 minutes at 10k pace + 10 minute cooldown Is that a tempo run or an interval run with two long intervals?

I'd log it as "medium".

How about "well-done" ?
Not one of my workout types.
not bad for mile 25
Call it what you want, it's your run.
Named workouts: Arthur, Beatrice, Claude...
Call it what you want, it's your run. However, since you've asked -- to me, that is not a tempo workout.

I't call it tempo paced intervals. I have those prescribed at times, but I never thought of giving my workouts names.
Thanks for the replies. I guess what I titled my message was misleading. I don't really have a particular need to name my runs -- and realize that they're my runs and I can "call them what I want." (but thanks 4 the advice, MilkTruck). I guess I'm still trying to make sense of the benefits behind the different types of speed work. So thanks to those of u who provided answers that helped w that.
