TrainingPeaks Threshold Calculation?

I did a long run today, nothing too fast, and when I uploaded it to TrainingPeaks I got a notice that I have set a new threshold.  The new threshold pace they claim is 7:23, and my fastest mile on my run was 8:26, so I'm not sure where this is coming from.  Am I missing something in how a threshold pace is calculated, or is TrainingPeaks going nuts?

  • Is this the online TP? I'm only familiar with the PC based version. On that, I can set my run pace numbers manually. I would think that's what you want to do. Meaning, go with the paces the EN or Jack Daniels calculator gives you, place it into TP. In any event, just ignore the TP suggested paces, go with ones you get from your EN testing.

  • Like Al said, I input the numbers myself.
