Which I use usually depends on the workout I’m doing - so if I’m doing intervals based on time rather than distance, I’ll usually check my pace. For the PJ sessions which are a set distance - especially as I’m using a section of path where there’s a marker every 200m - I look at the elapsed time each 200m to see if I’m on track.
Welshpoppy Apr 2021 9:49am, 7 Apr 2021 834 posts	0 Welshpoppy Well I am pleased I managed the threshold run yesterday not at the pace required but fastest I run in a while .I can see each week it will get better. Intervals tomorrow......eek .I have to be careful as rupture achilles hates speed work.

lin50 Apr 2021 7:33pm, 8 Apr 2021 194 posts	0 lin50 Threshold run done ✅ My legs currently hate me! Can I just check.. is the suggested pace an average/overall pace for the run or is it the suggested pace for just the tempo part of the run? (My suggested pace seems a bit slow for a tempo pace and I’ve been running the tempo part a lot quicker).
Ness Apr 2021 7:41pm, 8 Apr 2021 14,563 posts	0 Ness My interpretation was that the suggested pace was for the tempo parts. That said, my tempo session this morning was much quicker than the suggested pace too. I just went for something that felt challenging.
GimmeMedals Apr 2021 8:51pm, 8 Apr 2021 20,661 posts	0 GimmeMedals I thought it was just the tempo part too, but had the same moment of uncertainty after my threshold run the other day because the pace seems so steady.
Fenland Flier Apr 2021 10:51pm, 8 Apr 2021 2,270 posts	0 Fenland Flier Definitely just for the tempo part. I think the issue of pace arises because of run walks, and I am not saying that is bad, the pace has been worked out from the 5k time entered. If the 5k was run walk then the intervals and tempo run will be worked out accordingly, however, you can run consistent intervals faster and a short tempo run without walking so this would feel slow to you. I hope that makes sense to you all. If not I'll try and reword it.
