I think I have finally got the hang of Threshold Training. A friend told me it's all about effort not pace and with that statement came a light bulb moment!
Today's training was a 10 minute warm up, 6x threshold intervals with a 90 second jog in between followed by a 10 minute cool down and stretches.
I followed my dvd for the warm up. I find this makes me do it properly and not skip important bits!
The first interval was hard. I ran a bit too quickly to start with and then struggled to finish the 5 minutes. The second interval was better, I managed to keep a reasonably steady pace all through. From then on, although it was hard going I managed a good pace. I was so pleased to finish the last one though.
Back to my dvd for the cool down and stretches.
An average pace of 9.51 per minute. Pleased with that!
