Saturday session - 10km threshold run at Centennial Park

Back with the squad at Centennial Park for the first time in three weeks this morning. A threshold run was on the cards, and wasn't too sure how this would pan out. Undecided on whether to run 8km, 10km, or 12km - the latter the least likely on the back of the past few weeks. Held 3:19min/km pace right from the get go on what was a muddy at times 1km loop of Moore Park. Managed the hold the pace the entire distance, which I was very happy with - although each passing lap become progressively more intense. However, never to the point where I was absolutely going all out. Settled with 10km in the end, crossing in 33:13. Funny, only 1 second slower than what I raced a week ago! Felt much more comfortable though. Somewhat surprised with the pace today, as this is the best average pace I have ever managed to hold for an entire 10km threshold on the Moore Park loop. 18km session all up with a white fence lap both before and after. Will back up tomorrow for my first 30km long run since mid June! Bring it on!!!
