  • 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.

  • WVCC Submission Draft Woden Town Centre Master Plan
    Submission Draft Master Plan for Woden Town Centre (2015) PO Box 280 Woden ACT 2606; e-mail: [email protected] www.wvcc.org.au Facebook: /WodenValleyCommunityCouncil Twitter: WVCC_Inc WVCC submission on the Draft Master Plan for Woden Town Centre (2015) The Woden Valley Community Council (WVCC) is a non-political, voluntary lobby group for the Woden Valley community. We focus on a wide range of issues such as planning, community facilities and infrastructure, parks and open space, public transport, parking, education, the environment and health. Community Councils are officially recognised by the ACT Government and are consulted by government on issues affecting our communities. History The WVCC was formed in 2001 as work begun on the Woden Town Master Plan which was subsequently released in 2004. The WVCC invested a significant amount of work into the development of the 2004 Master Plan, however it was not incorporated into the Territory plan and had ‘No statutory status’. After some ad hoc development proposals at various sites around the Woden town centre over the years that were not compliant with the 2004 Master Plan, we welcomed the announcement that a new master plan planning process would start. Consultation with the WVCC started in late 2012 with the Environment and Planning Directorate (EPD) presenting at several WVCC public meetings on this issue. WVCC appreciates the extensive community consultation that preceded the Draft Plan, the results of which have been helpfully consolidated and recorded in the Community Engagement Report Stage1) of October 2014. One issue of concern to the WVCC is that a community stakeholder workshop, similar to the meeting held with lessees and traders, was not conducted.
