's how I start trying to push my threshold upwards and it's pretty effective. Then there's the endurance stuff where you might do 1.5 hours at 350 watts. You're never trying to replicate the race pace or time, I don't think you make many gains by doing
those skills and suffer in training and learn to take your mind away from pain. The more you can endure in training, the more you can endure in a race because you know you've already done it before.You have a famously high pain threshold. Was it always

"It's important to start off slowly with easy miles. Then move up to your 'second gear' after a month, with a bit more intensity in all three sports. Aim to hit 'third gear' by March, with intense work just below your threshold. For early-season races
focused with my preparation I made sure I did my regular long, slow runs, and I made a point of doing threshold runs, building up from 25 minutes to 35 or 45 minutes near 10-mile pace. I knew it was going to be hard work, and I just prepared myself
