I have read James’ book and love the theory.

I’m a bit confused about his paces. Sub threshold is clearly slower than 10k and HM pace but page 134 he references his shorter reps being run at 95/96% of 10km race pace. I don’t understand how this is sub threshold?

I’m asking as with the tables etc he seems to suggest we should all be running slow Sub-TH based on 5km times but in practice he is actually exerting quite an effort running at very close to 10km race pace…..
