Update Your Threshold Pace. TrainingPeaks utilizes a structured workout feature in addition to the workout description.

The benefit of the structured workout is that the workout can prescribe individualized target pace ranges for each workout. These can also be synced to your smart running watch (details on how to sync your watch can be found here).

The individualized target pace ranges are based on threshold pace (which translates to roughly the pace you can hold for 1 hour, or your 2nd lactate threshold (LT2)).

The good news is that you can get a very good estimate of your threshold pace from any recent race or time trial and TrainingPeaks will calculate it for you automatically.

Here's how to do it:

• Log into TrainingPeaks
• Go to "Settings"
• Go to "Zones"
• Go to "Speed/Pace"
• Scroll past Default Speed/Pace and select "Run" and select "Add"
• Under Auto Calculation "Choose Type" select "Distance / Time"
• Under "Choose Method" select "80/20
• Running" (80/20 Running provides the most options for race distances so is the best to pick for this purpose)
• Then select your race distance (1 mile, 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon) and enter your time or pace
• Then click "Calculate"
• Click "Apply"
• Save and exit settings
