thanks, so next question: what's a threshold test?

Different testing protocols for different theories of it, but you can do a 20-minute all-out run or bike and there are formulas that give you your numbers.  There's also a ramp-test on the bike which is brutal but way shorter and you can do it in the middle of training block without impacting recovery.  For running I've always used my 10K race pace plus a few seconds per mile.  Tempo runs should be done at your threshold pace.

ummm, I must be stupid I don't get it. If you do a "all out" 20 minutes run it's not at your 10k pace is it (unless you run a 10k in 20 minutes) So if you do a threshold test, you should'nt barf at the end because running 20 minutes at your 10k pace is not especially difficult (given that you normally run a 10k in, say 50- 60 minutes (in my case))

In all cases you will be hammering the 20 minutes on the bike or running, then there is a calculation that extrapolates it to your hour time in watts for the bike, or pace for the run.
