I’m doing a running + cycling mixed plan these days - using Jack Daniels for a 10k build-up plan, and doing SSBLV1 + 2 in parallel, all on a 9-10 days cycle. Ok, all good. But- Since TR does not ingest running workouts, I have to enter them. And then put in either an RPE estimate, or a TSS estimate…

I don’t really set my runs by HR, but 75% MHR for an easy run seems high to me.

To be fair, when I use the vdot calculator from JD the T pace is pretty spot on pace for flat out hour. (I do 10k in just under 40mins and half in aboit 90 mins and T pace is about 4.07 per km.)

It’s slower than JD’s recommended E pace at the beginning of every season. It’s also what the MAP plans suggest, and many others as well

I struggle with the VDOT tables as I’m apparently slower the longer I run… so I set my paces based on my 10k pace and it’s equivalent VDOT, but I know that over-estimates my half marathon capabilities.

This might help: [image] Running Power @RPE Training I can’t remember the source, but I convert RPE to pace thusly.I also can’t be sure if “10k” is your PB pace. Happy to be corrected. As others have said, it’s not strict, it’s a guideline. If it feels too hard, then it…

Yeah, I do everything on pace, except the slow stuff.

Thanks - my problem however is in the other direction. I’ve got the workouts, I do the workouts, they do not import into TR (gripe, gripe), and when I plug in the numbers, I need to estimate the RPE to estimate the TSS. A few other users helped by suggesting using TrainingPeaks (free account), whic…

I dont buy this. ill give you an example. Yesterday i did a 30 minute run after the 90 bike ride (Phoenix). TR say RPE6 with a total of 24 tss. My T is about 6:30. My HMP should be around 6:42 The run i did at 7:50 pace, with avg HR of 155. TSS 38 If i would have try to go HMP it would have b…

[image] rocourteau: It’s a number! We’re all good! In a world filled with numbers and apps its easy to forget your feelings! It took me a while but RPE is all about how you Perceived the effort, not how fast you went or what your heart rate or watts was…but did it feel hard? Did it feel easy…

How do I determine RPE for a running workout?
