    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.

    2016 ANNUAL REPORT 2016 ANNUAL REPORT CONTENTS Warden’s Report 2 Appendix 4 WARDEN’S REPORT 2016 will no doubt be recorded in the annals of Trinity College’s history as important and noteworthy, highlighted principally by two milestones; the commencement of classes in the Gateway building and the convening of the inaugural Indigenous Tertiary Education Conference. GATEWAY BUILDING On 22 August 2016, we welcomed over 400 Pathways School students for the first day of classes in the $30 million Gateway building. The Gateway building affirms and strengthens our partnership with the University of Melbourne, particularly in preparing international students to study and live in Melbourne. It is a tangible expression of Trinity’s commitment to higher education and to providing transformative experiences for young people of any nationality, ethnicity, race or creed. The building provides exceptional tutorial resources for pathways, residential and theological students and state of the art facilities for visual and performing arts. INDIGENOUS TERTIARY EDUCATION CONFERENCE On 18-19 November 2016, Trinity College in partnership with the Melbourne Centre for the Study of Higher Education hosted the inaugural Indigenous Tertiary Education Conference in the Gateway building. Focusing on the theme of transitions, the conference provided a forum where a diverse range of people came together to share information and knowledge on how best to support and improve outcomes for Indigenous higher education students. The 2016 Narrm Orator, Stan Grant (journalist, social commentator and author), chaired the student forum. At this session, four of Trinity’s Indigenous students (Alexandra Hohoi, Douglas Briggs, Eloise Bentley and Neerim Callope) spoke candidly with audience members about the challenges facing Indigenous students transitioning to higher education.
