When it says on a session to do 7 miles with 4 miles at theshold, what does threshold refer to?Is it your speed threshold??? LonglegsRW pace keyHope this help! I used to think it was "pain threshold", which is about how it feels.

OK, after following one of the RWs schedule for my first ½ marathon (Windsor), I thought I'd try again....and go a bit faster this time!So, what is Threshold? And when the schedule says "4M (inc 2M THR)" what exactly does that mean?Simple answers

I understand that during a marathon runners aim to run just below their lactate threshold. But what pace should one aim to run over a shorter distance? Is it possible to run beyond your lactate threshold during a half marathon?I suppose  my real

the right percentage for you. In the 80s, however, an Italian physiologist called Francesco Conconi developed a test to make things a little more convenient. It was designed to pinpoint the ‘threshold intensity’. This is among the most popular

Whether you call it tempo running or anaerobic, lactate or ventilatory threshold training doesn’t matter. Threshold training works, and adding it to your schedule is sure to make you faster and more efficient in endurance races.Threshold training

In the marathon training plans, they refer to threshold sessions. What are these?Sorry if thats a thick question :-)Thanks threshold = lactic threshold OR th epoijnt when you body produces mor lastic acid than it can dispose of normally at the pint

Hi there,I ve just got hold of a training schedule for Half Marathon, as I am to run my first one early next year. Could someone enlighten me on what "fartlek" and "threshold" refer to? So that I can train! I can do fartlek. Somebody will be along

I've decided to enter an Ironman next year (likely Austria) so have figured I need to take a slightly more serious approach to training.I've got my threshold from doing a Conconi test on a turbo (156 bmp). Can I assume this is the same threshold

I had always assumed that everyone's Lactate Threshold was 80% WHR as this is the effort we are advised to do tempo runs at, whatever your individual pace.However I have heard that it is possible to increase the HR at which lactic acid accumulates

Do threshold running once a week. Training for a 9min/mile marathon in april so been doing threshold running at 8.3min/mile. Buillt the set up to 8mins * 4 with 90 secs recovery between.  What would be most beneficial next, increasing the pace
