I don't understand the hostility towards the OP. The guy is reading things probably by Daniels and other well respected coaches and sees there's a big difference -- is this really hard to understand? I'd be the same way.

From my experience, the type of coaches the OP is talking about always go on and on about "turnover" and say things like "just do a hard effort".

That is not good training, and is in fact a pile of stinky poo


Agreed. These coaches crack me up, as they cant explain what they mean by "turnover". I know tons of runners who have the turnover to clip off a 4:45 mile in training, but don't incorporate any other type of work into their training and because of it can only run 15:30 in the 5k.

It is also important to consider what the OP means by threshold. I know some people who take tempo runs to be threshold and incorporate these into their training weekly throughout the whole year. I've seen 29:30 10k guys use tempo runs every week except for the last few before a big race.
