  • 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.
