10K, a Classic Race Distance the 10K Is a Classic Event, and Might Even Be
10k, a classic race distance The 10k is a classic event, and might even be considered the truest test of endurance running fitness. The reason is that 10,000 meters can be run right on your threshold pace, that red-line pace where you are just under control of your body; and to go any faster you would quickly get out of whack and have to slow down through exhaustion. You are at what we call your true running “threshold pace” where you are puffing hard but just under control, where your blood acid-base balance is just about to tip over into becoming too acidic but again you have it just under control; your muscles are feeling the pinch but they keep churning out the power. That is how a runner feels when he or she is running at “threshold pace”. The very top runners have a very high threshold pace. They are able to maintain control of their breathing, their blood and their running muscles at a very fast speed for around 30 minutes. It is not rocket science to work out that training to increase threshold running speed is what distance running is all about. Well, nearly all about, because in the marathon, we have to make sure the fuel tank is big and full enough to get us through 42 and bit kilometres, but that’s another story. So how do we increase our threshold speed? That’s not rocket science either. You simply train at or close to your current threshold speed at least once a week.

ORGANISATIONAL EXCELLENCE Key Objective “To build a sustainable and prosperous organisation by enabling innovation, collaboration and excellence in the development of its assets.” A “WHOLE OF SPORT” APPROACH We continue to make steady progress on our aim of being a completely unified sport and remain committed to increasing organisational efficiency and enhancing our member services by continuing to evolve the national operating model. The “whole of sport” concept of national coordination supported by local delivery was further bedded down during the year, with several combined projects shared by national and state staff members. Since beginning the journey towards unification in February 2012, we have taken a “bottom up” approach by focussing on the operational aspects of our work, and demonstrating behaviours which enable the sport to flourish though better delivery of services to our members and the community. Since we began, we have: • Standardised our membership arrangements and worked with partners ActiveNetwork on building a new membership database • Established and refined a “whole of sport” budget and financial model which has achieved greater consistency and financial stability across the national and state associations • Moved all our operations to consistent IT systems including Office 365 and Xero Accounting platforms • Considered the most effective staffing structure and arrangements for a unified organisation • Developed our “whole of sport” Strategic Plan and the Operational Plans that underpin achievement of the Strategic Plan • Commenced implementation of the “whole of sport” Operational Plans In parallel the State Triathlon and Territory Association (STTA) Presidents have continued to progress thinking on the governance aspects of a more unified sport.
